Abstract: Bayesian Inference based communication receiver employs Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) sampling for performing several of the main receiver functionalities. The channel estimator estimates the multipath channel coefficients corresponding to a signal received with fading. The symbol demodulator demodulates the received signal according to a QAM constellation, so as to generate a demodulated signal, and estimate the transmitted symbols. The decoder reliably decodes the demodulated signals to generate an output bit sequence, factoring in redundancy induced at a certain code rate. A universal sampler may be configured to use MCMC sampling for generating estimates of channel coefficients, transmitted symbols or decoder bits, for aforementioned functionalities, respectively. The samples may then be used in one or more of the receiver tasks: channel estimation, signal demodulation, and decoding, which leads to a more scalable, reusable, power/area efficient receiver.

Abstract: State information can be determined for a subject that is robust to different inputs or conditions. For drowsiness, facial landmarks can be determined from captured image data and used to determine a set of blink parameters. These parameters can be used, such as with a temporal network, to estimate a state (e.g., drowsiness) of the subject. To improve robustness, an eye state determination network can determine eye state from the image data, without reliance on intermediate landmarks, that can be used, such as with another temporal network, to estimate the state of the subject. A weighted combination of these values can be used to determine an overall state of the subject. To improve accuracy, individual behavior patterns and context information can be utilized to account for variations in the data due to subject variation or current context rather than changes in state.

Abstract: A test and measurement instrument includes one or more processors to acquire first, second, and third phase drive signals applied to a three-phase motor. A motor drive analyzer performs a direct-quadrature-zero, DQZ, transformation on the acquired first, second, and third phase drive signals to produce direct (D), quadrature (Q), and zero (Z) components, and generates an overlapped DQ phasor plot illustrating the D and Q components along with frequency domain representations of the D and Q components. The motor driver analyzer displays, on a user interface, the generated overlapped DQ phasor plot and an overlapped DQ spectra plot from the frequency domain representations of the D and Q components to enable a user to detect motor defects through visual characteristics of the overlapped DQ phasor and DQ spectra plots. The motor driver analyzer removes an offset and filters the D and Q components prior generating the overlapped DQ phasor plot.
