  • Publication number: 20210199796
    Abstract: Radar based HR and BR measurements by simultaneous decoding is a technical problem due to presence of intermodulation of BR and HR harmonics, which degrades simultaneous decoding. Embodiments herein provide a method and system for unobtrusive liveliness detection and monitoring of a subject using a Dual Frequency Radar (DFR) in an IOT network. The system has the capability to completely process the captured raw signals onboard to by applying required signal conditioning and extraction of relevant information using unique signal processing techniques for determining the HR and the BR of the subject accurately. The intermodulation of BR and HR harmonics is eliminated by the system by performing frequency spectrum averaging of both radars signals, which improves the accuracy. Further, the system is configured with a light MQTT protocol and encoding modules for any data to be shared for off board processing, ensuring data security and privacy compliance.

  • Patent number: 11039792
    Abstract: Techniques for heart rate estimation are disclosed. In an embodiment, synchronized photoplethysmograph (PPG) and 3-axis acceleration signals are received. Further, the PPG and acceleration signals are partitioned into windows. Furthermore, it is determined whether motion is present in a window of the acceleration signal. Moreover, Fourier transform is performed on the signals to obtain power spectra of the signals in the window when there is motion. Also, it is determined whether a peak of the acceleration signal is present in a range around first highest PPG peak. Further, it is determined whether the peak of the acceleration signal affects heart rate of the user when the peak of the acceleration signal is in the range around the highest PPG peak. The heart rate of the user in the window is then estimated using second highest PPG peak when the peak of the acceleration signal affects heart rate of the user.

  • Publication number: 20210126696
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to field agnostic source localization. Conventional state-of-the-art methods perform source localization for near-field scenario by estimating carrier frequency and direction of arrival (DOA) at or above Nyquist sampling rate. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for source localization at sub Nyquist sampling rate. The method estimates parameters such as range, carrier frequency and DOA of source signals from data sources in a mixed field scenario. i.e., the data sources may reside in far-field as well as near-field. The method considers a delay channel to a sensor receiver architecture for estimating the parameters. The disclosed method can be used in applications like cognitive radio to determine the carrier frequency, DOA and range of various source signals from data sources in mixed field.

  • Patent number: 10969482
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides means for detecting and tracking a moving object using RADAR and ultrasonic sensors. A stationary RADAR detects the moving object and estimates speed and two rotating ultrasonic sensors determine distance of the detected object. An incrementally changing orientation of the ultrasound sensors is associated with an angular speed of rotation based on a last logged distance of the moving object from the ultrasound sensors. Once the moving object is detected, based on an adaptively changing sampling frequency, the moving object is continuously tracked in real time. Conventionally, multiple RADARs are needed for location estimation and motion tracking. Also, merely using a RADAR in combination with an ultrasound sensor also does not serve the purpose since both sensors are static. The present disclosure provides a simple cost effective alternative that can find application in say tracking of an elderly person living alone in an unobtrusive manner.

  • Patent number: 10935459
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for unobtrusive and automated detection of frequencies of spatially located distinct parts of a machine. Location of vibration and detection of vibration frequency of each vibrating part in a machine is critical for routine monitoring and fault detection in the machine. Current solutions use either high frames per second (fps) industrial grade camera or stroboscopes tuned at one particular frequency. Manual stroboscopes require manual intervention for objects moving at different speeds with high convergence time. Point-lasers need prior knowledge of exact location of faults. Also Point-by-point scanning of a large machine body is time consuming. In the present disclosure, a movement detector such as RADAR enables detecting all vibration frequencies that also serve to reduce the search space of a stroboscope configured to start strobing at each detected vibration frequency to enable mapping of each vibration frequency to a corresponding vibrating part.

  • Publication number: 20210022713
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to bio-signal detection, and more particularly to method and system for non-contact bio-signal detection using ultrasound signals. In an embodiment, the method includes acquiring an in-phase I(t) baseband signal and a quadrature Q(t) baseband signal associated with an ultrasound signal directed from the sensor assembly towards the target. Magnitude and phase signals are calculated from the in-phase and quadrature baseband signals, and are filtered by passing through a band pass filter associated with a predefined frequency range to obtain filtered magnitude and phase signals. Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) of the filtered magnitude and phase signals is performed to identify frequency of dominant peaks of spectrum of the magnitude and phase signals in the ultrasound signal. Value of the bio-signal associated with the target is determined based on weighted values of the frequency of the dominant peaks of the magnitude and phase signals.
