    Abstract: A chatbot capable of empathic engagement with a user is disclosed. An identified trend in a user's mood or goals between a first time and a second time can be associated with open input (e.g., open text string input) from the user. As the user's mood or goals continue to be tracked, a subsequent trend can be identified that is the same as, similar to, different from, or opposite to the first identified trend. The user can then be automatically engaged based on the open input associated with the first identified trend. In an example, a user may input thoughts or reasons why they have been having a positively trending mood over a duration of time. The chatbot can then repeat or otherwise use those same thoughts or reasons to engage the user empathically when the chatbot detects that the user is experiencing a negatively trending mood.

    Abstract: A FCFMSIL radar includes a SILO, a frequency conversion unit, an antenna unit, a demodulation unit and a processing unit. The frequency conversion unit converts an oscillation signal of the SILO into a FMCW signal. The antenna unit transmits the FMCW signal to an area as a transmitted signal and receives a reflected signal from the area as a received signal. The frequency conversion unit converts the received signal into an injection signal and injects it into the SILO. The demodulation unit demodulates the oscillation signal into an in-phase demodulated signal and a quadrature demodulated signal. The processing unit processes the in-phase and the quadrature demodulated signals to obtain a baseband signal and thus acquire a phase and a frequency of a tone in the frequency-domain baseband signal, and determines the tone corresponding to one or multiple objects based on the phase and frequency of the tone.
