摘要： A wireless, in-road traffic sensor system using sensors that are small, low-cost, and rugged. The sensors may be capable of measuring the speed of passing vehicles, identifying the type of passing vehicle and measuring information about roadway conditions, e.g., wet or icy. The sensor includes a wireless transmitter and may be configured for installation beneath a roadway surface. The sensors may be configured as a traffic sensor system including distributed sensors across a roadway system, concentrators for receiving the sensor broadcasts and a central computer for accumulating and organizing the sensed information. The sensed information may also be made available responsive to user requests via the Web through such reports as traffic delays, alternate route planning and travel time estimates. Alternatively, the sensed information may also be used to control traffic through a traffic control means, such as a traffic signal.

摘要： Surface impacts are located and characterized based on an acoustic signal produced by the impact despite the presence of signal dispersion. Acoustic signals from the surface may be compared to acoustic signals detected external to the surface in order to eliminate spurious impact sensing due to external sounds. Low-frequency acoustic signals may be sensed and identified as explicit hard “bangs” which are of limited utility for pointing and tracking applications.

摘要： A preferred reader circuit for energizing the coils and detecting loading variations is shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. It was designed for tabletop operation at relatively low frequencies; the amplitudes, frequencies, and time constraints listed below can be shifted as desired for other applications. The depicted schematic includes driver circuitry for three coils, it being understood that further drivers can be added as indicated in the figure. Each driver circuit includes an inductive bridge wherein a search coil 3051, 3052, 3053 is balanced against a series of reference inductors 3071, 3072, 3073; 3091, 3092, 3093; and 3311, 3112, 3113 (the latter being variable to trim residuals in the search coil's inductance). A representative pair of search coils 3051, 3052 are identically wound and driven together, and the sensing volume between them is once again indicated at 200. Coil 3053 may be one of another coil pair, or may instead be a non-aligned search coil used to resolve orientation-related ambiguities with respect to coils 3051, 3052.

摘要： A distributed sensor networks employing mobile sensing nodes that are carried to desired locations by attaching themselves to moving hosts and detaching themselves when the host arrives at the desired location or is moving away from the desired location. Each sensing node may carry a plurality of environmental sensors and communicates with nearby sensing nodes using a short range wireless link. The node further carries a location sensing mechanism and uses either active, passive or attractive means to attach itself to a moving host.

摘要： A system for introspection and annotation of electronic design data includes a tracked probe that interacts with an electronic circuit, a tracking system, schematics, design files, or models for the circuit, electronic design system software, and a user interface. The probe has a sensor that tracks the position of the probe within the circuit. The tracking system receives data from the sensor and translates it into coordinates reflecting the location of the probe within the circuit. The software uses the probe coordinates to locate the position of the probe on the circuit schematic, identify the circuit component at the probe location, and display information about the identified component. The displayed information preferably includes an annotated version of the circuit schematic. The system may include a measurement or instrumentation device, the probe may include at least one parameter measurement device, and the display may include information derived from the parameter measurements.
