  • Publication number: 20240118380
    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting interference in a radar system. The method includes transmitting, by a transmitter of the radar system, a sequence of radar pulses at a regular interval with a rest period following each radar pulse of the sequence of radar pulses. The transmitter is disabled during each rest period. A receiver is enabled to receive reflected radar pulses from a target during the rest period following each radar pulse of the sequence of radar pulses. Some of the radar pulses are selected to be omitted and not transmitted. The receiver is still enabled during the rest periods following the omitted transmission pulses. Any reflected pulses received during the rest periods following the omitted transmission pulses may be an indication of a targeted interference of the radar system. In another embodiment, a radar system is provided.

  • Patent number: 11951596
    Abstract: A rotary impact tool includes a motor housing, an electric motor supported in the motor housing, and a drive assembly for converting a continuous torque input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece. The drive assembly includes an anvil including an anvil lug and a hammer that is both rotationally and axially movable relative to the anvil. The hammer includes a hammer lug for imparting the consecutive rotational impacts upon the anvil lug. The rotary impact tool further comprises a printed circuit board assembly including a sensor that is configured to detect rotation of the anvil. The printed circuit board assembly is spaced from the anvil to define an axial gap therebetween.

  • Patent number: 11953349
    Abstract: A magnetic tracking system is configured to determine an object pose of a tracked object in an environment of the magnetic tracking system. The tracking system includes a transmitter assembly that includes a transmitting coil configured to generate a magnetic signal indicative of an object pose of a tracked object with respect to the transmitter assembly and a marker that visually identifies a pose of the transmitter assembly with respect to a camera device. The camera device captures at least one image of the transmitter assembly. A computing device determines, based on the image, a pose for the transmitter assemblies in the image. Based on the magnetic signal and the pose associated with the transmitter assembly, the computing device determines the object pose of the tracked object in the environment.

  • Patent number: 11900778
    Abstract: A method for improving safety and property protection in schools comprising fixed and mobile safety and security devices, networked together. A software App provides real-time communication among various devices. The network integrates disparate security devices into a unified system to expand coordination and communication among public safety personnel. The system automatically triggers alarms, cell phone notifications, and warnings, as well as defensive measures, when its sensors or safety devices detect or report threats to public safety and property. Each device in the system is pre-programmed to respond independently while simultaneously sharing its findings with all other devices and security personnel in the network. Deployment of these disparate devices gives security personnel heightened awareness, real-time status of secured and unsecured building entrances, around-the-clock visualization, and faster response times in both indoor and outdoor emergencies.
