    Abstract: A method is provided for determining a mobility status of a target object located in an environment of a sensor configured to monitor a surrounding environment of a vehicle. According to the method, a detection angle of the target object is determined with respect to the sensor based on data acquired by the sensor, and an ideal beam vector for a stationary object is predicted based on the detection angle. The ideal beam vector and a measured beam vector obtained from the data acquired by the sensor are normalized, and a correlation of the normalized ideal beam vector and the normalized measured beam vector is determined. A score is determined based on the correlation of the normalized ideal and measured beam vectors and indicates whether the target object is stationary or moving.

    Abstract: This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for multi-channel joint interference mitigation. Radar radiation received by a radar system may include interference from other nearby radar systems. The interference can result in reduced sensitivity of the radar system. The techniques, apparatuses, and systems described herein mitigate the interference by identifying a set of samples of the radar radiation with interference. The interference can be estimated and mitigated by comparing this set (e.g., with interference) to a set of samples without interference and suppressing the interference without suppressing the detected signal. Further, the interference can be analyzed to determine if the interference contains detection information of one or more objects (e.g., other vehicles with radar systems causing interference). In this manner, interference mitigation may be obtained without losing information included in the set of samples including interference.

    Abstract: A radar assembly includes a rectangular-waveguide (RWG) and a printed-circuit-board. The rectangular-waveguide (RWG) propagates electromagnetic energy in a transverse electric mode (TE10) and in a first direction. The printed-circuit-board includes a plurality of conductor-layers oriented parallel to each other. The printed-circuit-board defines a substrate-integrated-waveguide (SIW) that propagates the electromagnetic energy in a transverse electric mode (TE10) and in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and defines a transition that propagates the electromagnetic energy between the rectangular-wave-guide and the substrate-integrated-waveguide. The transition includes apertures defined by at least three of the plurality of conductor-layers.

    Abstract: An apparatus for cutting a previously flared shield conductor of a shielded electrical cable includes a two-piece clamping die having an aperture in which the shielded electrical cable is secured and a cutting surface. The clamping die is opened and closed around the shielded electrical cable. The apparatus further includes a cutting tube configured to be pressed against the cutting surface while the flared shield conductor is between the cutting tube and the cutting surface, thereby cutting a portion of a free end of the flared shield conductor. Alternatively, the apparatus may include a die comprising a cutting surface and an aperture in which the end of the shielded electrical cable is received. The cutting tube has two parts that are closed about the shielded electrical cable and pressed against the cutting surface while the flared shield conductor is disposed between the cutting tube and the cutting surface.

    Abstract: A heating device includes a housing, a primary induction coil, a controller circuit, and a secondary induction coil. The housing retains a camera lens. The primary induction coil is positioned proximate the housing and generates a magnetic field in response to receiving electrical power from a power supply. The controller circuit is in electrical contact with the primary induction coil and controls the electrical power delivered to the primary induction coil. The secondary induction coil overlays the primary induction coil and receives the magnetic field from the primary induction coil and generates heat. The secondary induction coil is in direct contact with a windshield of a vehicle and heats the viewing window when the primary induction coil receives the electrical power.

    Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for clustering track pairs for multi-sensor track association. Many track-association algorithms use pattern-matching processes that can be computationally complex. Clustering tracks derived from different sensors present on a vehicle may reduce the computational complexity by reducing the pattern-matching problem into groups of subproblems. The weakest connection between two sets of tracks is identified based on both the perspective from each track derived from a first sensor and the perspective of each track derived from a second sensor. By identifying and pruning the weakest connection between two sets of tracks, a large cluster of tracks may be split into smaller clusters. The smaller clusters may require fewer computations by limiting the quantity of candidate track pairs to be evaluated. Fewer computations result in processing the sensor information more efficiently that, in turn, may increase the safety and reliability of an automobile.
