Abstract: Various sensing systems may benefit from appropriate handling of signal to noise ratios. For example, detecting and measuring physiological signals may benefit from a phasor approach to signal to noise ratio measurement evaluation. A method can include obtaining a plurality of observations of a target volume. The method can also include determining a weight for each observation of the plurality of observations of the volume. The weight can be based on a change in phasor characteristics of the observation. The method can further include combining the plurality of observations based on the weight. The method can additionally include identifying a physiological signal based on the combined observations.

Abstract: A method of determining a user location comprises: calculating a horizontal velocity and direction of horizontal movement of a mobile device in communication with at least one wireless access point, calculating an observed Doppler shift in a signal transmitted between the mobile device and the at least one wireless access point, calculating an expected Doppler shift in the transmitted signal based on a carrier frequency, the horizontal velocity and direction of horizontal movement, and determining a vertical position of the mobile device based on the expected Doppler shift and the observed Doppler shift. A mobile device, apparatus and positioning system for performing the method are also provided.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a menstruum prepositioned type sterile drug-mixing syringe and a menstruum separately positioned type sterile drug-mixing syringe including a shell, a needle, a piston and a push-pull rod assembly. The syringe further includes a menstruum bottle, a solute bottle, a sliding sleeve and a needle loading assembly. The menstruum bottle may be fixed to the inner wall of a sliding sheath, and the solute bottle may be fixed to the inner of the shell. Piston may be disposed within the solute bottle. The sliding sleeve may be socketed to the front end of the shell in advance or disposed by other ways. The mouth of the menstruum bottle may be opposite to the mouth of the solute bottle and may be connected by a needle, which has two piercing tips, wherein the needle punctures and is securely connected to the needle loading assembly.
