Patent number: 11747459Abstract: A radar sensor system is provided. The radar sensor system includes: at least two radar sensors each having at least one transmitter and at least one receiver, detection regions of the two radar sensors overlapping at least partially. The two radar sensors are situated at a defined distance from one another. Transmit signals of the two radar sensors are synchronizable in such a way that radiation of one radar sensor that was emitted by the respective other radar sensor and reflected by an object is capable of being evaluated by an evaluation device.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2019Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Michael Klar, Michael Schoor

Publication number: 20220334245Abstract: A radar sensor for motor vehicles. The radar sensor includes an antenna arrangement having multiple antenna elements linearly arranged at uniform distances along a connecting line, the distance between each two adjacent antenna elements being equal to half of the mean wavelength ? of the emitted radar signal, and the arrangement including at least one triple of adjacent antenna elements, in which the two antenna elements located on the outside in the triple, on the one hand, and the interposed antenna element, on the other hand, originate in opposite directions from the connecting line. The antenna arrangement includes at least one pair of antenna elements which originate in opposite directions from the connecting line and whose distance from one another is an integer multiple of the wavelength ?, so that one of these antenna elements has a negative amplitude taper in relation to the antenna elements of the triple.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2020Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Klaus Baur, Michael Klar, Michael Schoor, Osama Khan

Publication number: 20210294278Abstract: A computer-implemented method for classifying an input signal that is ascertained as a function of an output signal of a sensor as to whether or not it has an anomaly, it being decided, as a function of an output signal of an autoencoder (60) to which the input signal is supplied, whether or not the input signal has the anomaly. The autoencoder has at least one encoder and at least one decoder. An intermediate variable is ascertained as a function of the input signal by the encoder, and the output signal is ascertained by the decoder as a function of the intermediate variable. The autoencoder provides, for the input signal supplied to it, a plurality of hypotheses of formula for the reconstruction of the input signal, and the output signal is ascertained as a function of this plurality of hypotheses of formula.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2019Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Duc Tam Nguyen, Michael Klar, Zhongyu Lou

Publication number: 20200057751Abstract: A method for generating and maintaining hierarchical tags with community-based ratings is provided. Tags for media streams are organized into a hierarchical format. Users may select tags from the hierarchical tag database that describes a particular multimedia content. If the user is unable to locate a desired tag, the user may submit a new tag. Upon submission of the new tag, a librarian approves the tag before storing and placing the tag in the hierarchical tag database. Users are also able to rate the quality of the association between the tag and the multimedia content. If a tag is rated low, the tag may be removed from the hierarchical tag database. If the tag is rated highly, display of the tag in a list of tags becomes more prominent.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2019Publication date: February 20, 2020Inventors: James M. Barton, Brian Beach, David Platt, Kevin Smith, Michael Klar, Paul Stevens, David Chamberlin, Richard Lee
