Abstract: A mobile tag for an ultra-wide band (UWB) positioning system, and related devices. The UWB positioning system includes mobile tags, stationary anchors, and a central positioning entity. The mobile tag is a first mobile tag configured to acquire positioning information that depends on a relative position between the first mobile tag and a second mobile tag. The first mobile tag is further configured to transmit the acquired positioning information to another device of the UWB system, such as a stationary anchor or a third mobile tag.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates an evacuation management system, EMS, (40, 52, 60, 00, 200) operative to provide real-time evacuation information for evacuation of a building, triggered by alarm notification (S202). Based on determined (S214) precise real-time positions of personal ultra-wide band, UWB, devices, as determined by UWB real-time localization system, RTLS, a controller determines (S210) evacuation plans being personal UWB device specific in real-time. Based on individual evacuation plans and input from building facilities, real-time guidance information is defined (S208) and sent to each personal UWB device, providing guidance to person carrying said personal UWB device, in what direction to move (S212), to reach a safe area. Based on localization signals the UWB RTLSA then calculates updated positions of the personal UWB devices and sends to the evacuation management system. It is an advantage that trapped or injured people can be found, even in low visibility areas.

Abstract: We generally describe a collision prevention system (100) comprising: a localization system (402) for determining positions of an autonomous vehicle (104) and a human (106); and a collision determination unit (404) coupled to or in communication with the localization system (402), wherein the collision determination unit (404) is configured to determine, based on the determined positions of the autonomous vehicle (104) and the human (106), whether a predefined condition for an anticipated collision of the autonomous vehicle (104) with the human (106) is met; wherein the collision prevention system (100) is configured to: lock the autonomous vehicle (104) if the predefined condition is met; alert the human (106) for whom the predefined condition for colliding with the autonomous vehicle (104) is met; and allow unlocking of the autonomous vehicle (104) to be performed or initialized by the alerted human (106) only.

Abstract: We generally describe a detection system and a method for tracking a moving object. The detection system (101) comprises a sensor (102) which is configured to sense an event. The system further comprises a trigger detection module (108a) which is coupled to the sensor (102), wherein the trigger detection module (108a) is configured to identify the sensed event to be a trigger event. The system further comprises an imaging device (114) for imaging the trajectory of an object, and an imaging device control unit (112) for controlling the imaging device (114). The imaging device control unit (112) is coupled to the trigger detection module (180a), wherein the imaging device control unit (112) is configured to control the imaging device (114) in response to a trigger event being identified by the trigger detection module (108a).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining, by a scheduler, at least one transmission parameter for each of a plurality of smart meters which each transmit, via power line communication, a measurement report to a control entity. The at least one transmission parameter allows a reporting time for a corresponding smart meter to be determined. The method comprises the following steps: At least one status parameter is collected for each of the plurality of smart meters, the at least one status parameter influencing a success rate of the transmission of the corresponding measurement report to the control entity. For each of the plurality of smart meters, the at least one transmission parameter allowing the reporting time for the corresponding smart meter to be determined, is determined based on the collected at least one status parameter.

Abstract: A computer system and computer-automated method for analyzing performance data in a telecommunications network. In A data set is provided that contains a log of a first time sequence of network events which are classified into event types. A second time sequence is generated from the first time sequence by aggregating the events into event groups, and at least a third time sequence is generated by aggregating the event groups into event super-groups. A multi-level time sequence event hierarchy of at least three levels is thus created. The multiple time sequence levels are rendered into a visualization in which the different event types are visually distinct from each other. The visualization reveals to a domain expert patterns of behavior in the data set which can be used to detect current network problems and to predict future network loading, for example in a network operations center.

Abstract: A computer system and computer-automated method for analyzing sports performance data from a game. A data set is provided that contains a log of a first time sequence of game data events which are classified into event types. A second time sequence is generated from the first time sequence by aggregating the events into game patterns, and a third time sequence is generated by aggregating the game patterns into game strategies. A multi-level time sequence event hierarchy is thus created. These multiple time sequence levels are rendered into a visualization in which the different types at each level are visually distinct from each other. The visualization reveals to a game expert player or team behavior in the data set which can be used for player and team improvement.

Abstract: It is disclosed a method, and a system (30) capable of localizing ball hit events on a sports court. From on acoustics data acquired (22) of ball hit events by individual distributed sensors or microphones, ball hitting patterns are identified (24) in the data from each individual sensor. Based on the identified ball hitting patterns and geometric constraints of a sports court and the distribution of sensors, ball hit events are detected (26). The localization of the detected ball bit events is determined (28) based on the geometrical constraints of the sports court and the sensor distribution. The system has a number of advantages of which some are that it is cheap to install, it is non-invasive, and that it can easily be extended to provide higher precision of ball hit event localization.
