    Abstract: The present invention provides a statistical acoustic sensing (SAS)-based method and system for in-vehicle Child Presence Detection. The SAS-based method comprises: transmitting acoustic signal to a subject in a vehicle cabin; receiving acoustic multipath signals scattered by the subject; and processing the acoustic multipath signals to detect presence of the subject by: extracting a plurality of channel impulse response (CIR) data from the received acoustic multipath signals; aggregating the extracted CIR data to estimate acoustic channel state information (CSI); obtaining an autocorrelation function (ACF) of the acoustic CSI based on a statistical acoustic sensing (SAS) model; and performing motion detection and breath tracking on basis of the ACF to detect presence of the subject in the vehicle cabin. The present invention can leverage in-car audio systems to detect presence of young children including newborns in an accurate and responsive manner.

    Abstract: An ultrasound input device can be coupled to a material layer having an external surface located opposite the material layer from the ultrasound input device. The ultrasound input device can transmit an emitted signal through the material layer towards the external surface and receive a set of reflected ultrasound signals associated with the emitted signal. The set of reflected ultrasound signals comprises at least one reflected ultrasound signal, and the set of reflected ultrasound signals can be associated with a touch event between an object and the external surface. A system can comprise one or more data processors configured for performing operations including determining an energy signal associated with the set of reflected ultrasound signals, extracting feature information associated with the energy signal, determining an inference associated with the object based on the extracted feature information, and generating an output signal associated with the determined inference.

    Abstract: A method for velocity estimation based on a complex demodulated doppler signal in a multi-gated doppler. The method is based on the autocorrelation function estimates of the complex demodulated doppler signal. Contribution to the correlation function from the receiver noise is found by measuring the noise in absence of echo signals. The obtained values are subtracted from the correlation estimates before further processing. A limited number of candidates for the true velocity are calculated from the autocorrelation function phase.

    Abstract: A non-intrusive vibration measurement system and method using commercial ultrasonic instruments together with digital signal filtering and analysis techniques is adapted to quantitatively detect vibrations as small as 0.04-inch peak-to-peak. The system and its methodology is used for in-service vibration monitoring of internal components of check valves, pumps, nuclear reactors, steam generators and heat exchangers, especially when the vibration frequency is too low for quantitative analysis by accelerometers and when the strain induced is too low for strain gauge analysis, and when the vibrating component is in an "encased" environment.
