Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting an event within a monitored area are provided. A transmitter emits an RF interrogation signal into the monitored area. An RF target positioned within the monitored area reflects the interrogation signal as a target signal when the interrogation signal impinges on the RF target. The RF target has a switch actuatable by a user between a switch-state in which the RF target operates in a first reflective state, and a switch-state in which the RF target operates in a second reflective state. A receiver receives the target signal from the RF target. Based on the target signal received by the receiver, a processor can detect an indication of the reflective state in which the RF target is operating. The processor triggers an action in response to the indication of the reflective state in which the RF target is operating.

Abstract: A method includes: obtaining, at a controller of a device, a delay setting corresponding to an effector head configured to engage with the device, the effector head having (i) an array of effector elements, (ii) a first switch assembly controllable to deliver power to a first subset of the effector elements, and (iii) a second switch assembly configured to deliver power to a second subset of the effector elements; at the controller, activating the array of effector elements by: controlling the first switch assembly to deliver power to the first subset during a first time period, and controlling the second switch assembly to deliver power to the second subset during a second time period, the second time period shifted relative to the first time period according to the delay setting.

Abstract: A method of object identification includes: capturing an image of an object having a material presenting surface artifacts; detecting a boundary within the captured image; selecting a portion of the image depicting the surface material within the boundary; based on the selected portion of the image, determining attributes of the surface artifacts; generating, based on the determined attributes of the surface artifacts, a physical identifier corresponding to the object; and storing the generated physical identifier.
