  • Publication number: 20180254208
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for in-situ temperature measurement of a process chamber are described herein. A process chamber includes an infrared (IR) sensor mounted to the chamber wall. The IR sensor is mounted such that it can be oriented to receive an IR wave from targets within the process chamber through a view port in the chamber wall to detect a temperature of a surface inside the chamber, or to receive an IR wave from a target outside of the process chamber to detect an atmospheric temperature or a temperature of an exterior surface of the process chamber. As the orientation of the IR sensor is controllable to receive the IR wave from selected directions, it may be used to detect the temperature of various targets inside and outside the process chamber. The obtained temperature information is useful to improve overall chamber matching, processing throughput, and uniformity.

  • Publication number: 20180153444
    Abstract: Disclosed methods, systems, and storage media may track body movements and movement trajectories using internal measurement units (IMUs), where a first IMU may be attached to a first wrist of a user, a second IMU may be attached to a second wrist of the user, and a third IMU may be attached to a torso of the user. Upper body movements may be derived from sensor data produced by the three IMUs. IMUs are typically not used to detect fine levels of body movements and/or movement trajectory because most IMUs accumulate errors due to large amounts of measurement noise. Embodiments provide arm and torso movement models to which the sensor data is applied in order to derive the body movements and/or movement trajectory. Additionally, estimation errors may be mitigated using a hidden Markov Model (HMM) filter. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 9921292
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to determining the location of a device using hybrid localization techniques. For example, a first technique such as trilateration may be used to determine an approximate location of the device. An error associated with the approximate location may also be implemented to increase the likelihood of locating the device upon applying a second localization technique, such as fingerprinting. Fingerprinting, when applied to the approximate location determined from trilateration, may determine the location of the device, or a more precise location than that determined from trilateration, such that reduced power consumption by the device may be achieved without sacrificing location accuracy.

  • Patent number: 9877158
    Abstract: Embodiments of a mobile station and method for Wi-Fi scan scheduling and power adaption for low-power indoor location are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the mobile station may identify channels, beacon timing and rough signal strength levels of nearby access points (APs) from at least one of a previous full-channel scan or a Wi-Fi fingerprint database and may configure receiver sensitivity based on the rough signal strength levels for receipt of subsequent beacons. The mobile station may wake-up from a low-power state to receive beacons for the nearby access points on the identified channels at times based on the identified beacon timing. The received signal strength indicators (RSSIs) levels of the received beacons may be used for location determination.

  • Patent number: 9848302
    Abstract: A system for locating a mobile device includes an input that accesses a plurality of scans of wireless network access signaling, where the scans indicate received signal measurement results. A similarity measure module executes comparisons between the data of different scans in order to assess the similarity between those scans. The comparisons produce multi-dimensional comparison results. A dimension reduction module reduces dimensionality of the multi-dimensional comparison results to produce a dimension-reduced set of comparison results. A clustering module identifies groupings of similar scans based on the dimension-reduced set of comparison results.

  • Patent number: 9807549
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media related to employing adaptive multi-feature semantic location sensing methods to estimate the semantic location of a mobile device. A set of wireless data scans associated with one or more access points at one or more locations may be received. One or more features of the one or more locations may be identified, based upon the set of wireless data scans wherein the features are associated with one or more location metrics. At least one of the one or more access points may be determined to be associated with a first location based upon, at least in part, the set of wireless data scans. A first classifier for the first location may be generated based upon, at least in part, the one or more features and the associated access points.

  • Patent number: 9803971
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance technology is used to implement front and back proximity sensing capability for wireless devices such as a laptap device. For example, a high quality (Q) factor coil antenna may be embedded in a display, such as a liquid crystal display, of a first laptap device to detect other wireless devices (e.g., a second laptap) that are within coupling distance of the first laptap device. In this example, the second laptap device induces a sine wave signal to the first laptap device if the second laptap device is physically located at backside of the first laptap device. Otherwise, the second laptap device may induce a cosine wave signal to the first laptap device if the second laptap device is physically located at the front side of the first laptap device.

  • Patent number: 9677890
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to positioning and mapping based on virtual landmarks. A space may include a plurality of signal sources (e.g., wireless access points (APs), cellular base stations, etc.). The space may be virtually divided into a plurality of regions, wherein each region in the space may be associated with a virtual landmark. Virtual landmarks may be identified by a signature comprised of measurements of wireless signals received from the plurality of access points when at the associated region. A device position may be approximated based on signal power magnitude and variance measurements for wireless signals received at the virtual landmark. Devices may employ an algorithm such as, for example, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) for positioning and map creation in the space without the need for GPS signals, specialized signaling equipment, pre-navigation device training, etc. Navigation/mapping may also account for space changes, signal source position changes, etc.

  • Publication number: 20170067982
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to automatic calibration for cross devices in Wi-Fi fingerprint based areas. In an exemplary embodiment, an online device scans and obtains multiple signal strength value (RSSIoi) from local access points. The online device may access a fingerprint database and obtain a set of fingerprints. Each fingerprint includes a known location, a set of RSSI values (RSSIfi) and optionally a device/model name. For each fingerprint, the online device: (1) calculates a fingerprint RSSI offset (fpOff) in real-time; (2) applies the fingerprint RSSI offset (fpOff) to the fingerprint RSSI values to determine adjusted fingerprint values. Then the online device identifies fingerprints with minimum Euclidean distance and uses their RSSI offset (fpOff) value to determine a device RSSI offset value. The device offset value can be used to calibrate the online device and to provide accurate location information.
