Abstract: A loop powered process instrument comprises a control system measuring a process variable and developing a measurement signal representing the process variable. An output circuit, for connection to a remote power source using a two-wire process loop, controls current on the loop in accordance with the measurement signal. A power supply is connected to the output circuit and the control system. The power supply receives power from the two wire process loop and supplies power to the control system. The power supply comprises a voltage regulator receiving loop power and developing a regulated output voltage and an adjustable shunt regulator controlling voltage supplied to the voltage regulator.

Abstract: An object detection device for a vehicle monitors the surroundings at the rear of the vehicle. The object detection device has a radar sensor for generating a radar signal containing information about a distance between the vehicle and a vehicle user or another object in the surroundings. The radar sensor mounts on a vehicle component pointing toward the surroundings to the rear of the vehicle. Furthermore, the object detection device contains a control and evaluation unit for determining a movement pattern of the vehicle user on the basis of the radar signal, and to compare the movement pattern with a predefined reference pattern and to actuate a servomotor which has the purpose of actuating the tailgate between an open position and a closed position when the movement pattern corresponds to the reference pattern. Furthermore, a vehicle ideally has such an object detection device.

Abstract: A pulse transmission controller generates transmission timing signals for a high-frequency radar transmission signal in every transmission cycle. A transmission phase shifter gives a transmission signal generated by a modulator phase shifts each corresponding to a transmission cycle on the basis of the transmission timing signals generated at intervals that are equal to the transmission cycle. A reception phase shifter gives a reception signal that is output from an A/D converter reception phase shifts that are opposite in direction to the respective transmission phase shifts given by the transmission phase shifter on the basis of the transmission timing signals generated at intervals that are equal to the transmission cycle.

Abstract: A MIMO FMCW radar sensor and a MIMO time multiplexing method for localizing a radar target, in which an FMCW radar measurement is performed with a transmitted signal whose modulation pattern encompasses, for different transmission switching states that differ in terms of the selection of antenna elements used for transmission, mutually temporally interleaved sequences of ramps; ambiguous values for the relative velocity of the radar target are determined from a position of a peak in a two-dimensional spectrum; phase relationships between spectral values of spectra are checked for agreement with phase relationships expected for several of the determined values of the relative velocity; on the basis thereof, an estimated value for the relative velocity of the radar target is selected from the determined periodic values of the relative velocity; and the angle of the radar target is determined on the basis of amplitudes and/or phase relationships between obtained baseband signals.

Abstract: A method for determining location information for an airborne target includes synthesizing a cyclic transmit signal, transmitting an electromagnetic beam corresponding to the cyclic transmit signal, providing a plurality of vertically offset return signals corresponding to at least two receive antennas that are vertically offset, down-converting the plurality of vertically offset return signals with the cyclic transmit signal to provide a corresponding plurality of baseband signals, determining magnitude and phase information for each vertically offset return signal as a function of range from the corresponding baseband signal, and determining elevation information for an airborne target from the magnitude and phase information. Azimuthal information for the airborne target may be determined by tracking amplitude variations in the return signal in response to azimuthal rotation of the receive antennas. A corresponding apparatus, system, and computer readable medium are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A non-wearable Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) architecture is provided, implementing RF interferometry using synthetic aperture antenna arrays to derive ultra-wideband echo signals which are analyzed and then processed by a two-stage human state classifier and abnormal states pattern recognition. Systems and methods transmit ultra-wide band radio frequency signals at, and receive echo signals from, the environment, process the received echo signals to yield a range-bin-based slow signal that is spatio-temporally characterized over multiple spatial range bins and multiple temporal sub-frames, respectively, and derive from the slow signal multiple characteristics of human(s) in the environment. The reception antennas may be arranged in several linear baselines, implement virtual displacements, and may be set into multiple communicating sub-arrays. The decision process is carried out based on the instantaneous human state (local decision) followed by abnormal states patterns recognition (global decision).
