Abstract: A micro-radar is disclosed that is operated based upon two Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) outputs that control its internal timing and Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal frequency. Calibration and temperature compensation is done through estimating the duty cycle of the transmit signal and possibly the reception signal that stimulate a pulse generator to create the transmit pulse and the reception pulse and adjusting one or both DAC outputs. Sensor processors, wireless sensor nodes and wireline sensor nodes are disclosed for operating the micro-radar. An integrated circuit is disclosed implementing all or portions of the micro-radar. Access points, servers as well as systems that include but are not limited to a traffic monitoring system, a traffic control system, a parking management system and/or a production management system are also disclosed.

Abstract: Technical problems and their solution are disclosed regarding the location of mobile devices requesting services near a site from a server. Embodiments adapt and/or configure the transmitting device near the site, the mobile device communicating with the transmitting device using a short haul wireless communications protocol to deliver a token based upon a key shared with the server but invisible to the mobile device. The server can determine the proximity of the mobile device to the site to control actuation of the requested service or disable the service request, and possibly flushing the service request from the server. Solutions are disclosed for traffic intersections involving one or more traffic lights, elevators in buildings, fire alarms in buildings and valet parking facilities.

Abstract: Several implementations of an access point, an application server, and instances of an application operating upon a cell phone are disclosed. These implementations support the cell phone and its application traveling on a vehicle, which wirelessly communicates through a wireless router, such as a Bluetooth router with an access point situated in a cabinet to direct a traffic controller driving a traffic light. The wireless router responds to a cell phone initiated by the app, by reporting the location and speed of the vehicle, often further including the vehicle type, such as a bicycle or heavy truck. The traffic controller may lengthen a green light in response to a heavy truck, to reduce wear on roadways. The access point may respond to a bicycle, by confirming its presence to the bicycle driver as well as adjust the traffic controller.
