Abstract: The following are disclosed and claimed: A micro-radar adapted to generate an antenna output of less than or equal to 10 milli-Watt (mW) through an antenna to an object and receive a Radio Frequency (RF) reflection off of said object, and adapted to respond to a first Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) output and a second DAC output. A wireless sensor node and/or a processor for use in said wireless sensor node. A wireline sensor node and/or a processor for use in said wireline sensor node configured operate said micro-radar by control of said first and said second DAC output. A second apparatus configured to receive an improved sensor report from at least two of the wireless sensor nodes. A processor for use with the second apparatus. A third apparatus adapted to respond to vibrations in pavement. Several integrated circuits and systems. Installation devices, servers and/or computer readable memories.

Abstract: A system for reducing jitter in a packet audio reception device comprises an output time stamp index, a delay calculation module, and a histogram module. The output time stamp index determines an initial output time stamp value upon receipt of a jitter buffer latency value and increments the output time stamp upon release of each of the frames by a jitter buffer. The delay calculation module calculates a delay value for each of the sequence of received frames. The histogram module periodically calculates a target delay value which, based on a buffered history of values representing the delay value of each of a fixed quantity of the most recently received frames, would have resulted in a predetermined portion of the fixed quantity of frames being dropped, and adjusting the jitter buffer latency value to a value equal to the target value.
