Title: Interference detection and mitigation in inductive sensor applications and dynamic adaptation based on real-time noise detection
Inventor: GREGORY C YANCEY
IPC: G01R31/00
Filed: 2020-04-23
Abstract: A resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor is driven at a driving frequency and a measurement of phase and amplitude is used to determine the presence of external interference to the sensor. A noise detection circuit may detect the external interference based on the profile of at least one of the phase and the amplitude versus frequency. The rate of change of the phase or amplitude being outside an expected range may indicate noise. An operating parameter of the sensor, such as the amplitude or frequency of the driving signal, the resonant frequency or capacitance of the sensor, a filter corner frequency or conversion time, or noise floor, may be modified to compensate for the interference. The noise may be measured in a noise measurement mode of increased sensitivity. The magnitude of the noise may also be estimated. The sensor may be used to detect force applied to a mechanical member 105 used as an alternative to a mechanical switch in e.g. a mobile device.

Title: Methods, apparatus and systems for biometric processes
Inventor: THOMAS IVAN HARVEY
IPC: G06K9/03
Filed: 2019-06-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a method 500 to operate in the acoustic measurement of a user ear canal when used as a biometric authentication system. The method starts by generating an acoustic stimulus that is applied to a user’s ear 502, then a quality measure of a response signal is determined 504. If the quality measure is inadequate for performing a biometric process, the properties of the acoustic stimulus are modified to improve a signal to noise ratio, SNR, of the response signal 506. The stimulus may be modified by shifting the pitch of the signal to better aligned the signal to the user’s ear canal, by applying a masking noise to the user’s ear, by using a masking model to add additional content to the stimulus that is inaudible to the user and increasing the level of the acoustic stimulus, adding harmonic content to the stimulus and increasing the level of the stimulus, or adding content to the acoustic stimulus’ inaudible frequencies and increasing the level of the stimulus.

The method may include determining a portion of the flight plan during which a period of controlled rest is allowable e.g. when cruising at altitude. An indication may be provided in the cockpit that controlled rest is allowable, but only if a second pilot is present and not sleeping. A timer may monitor a period of controlled rest, and trigger a wake-up procedure e.g. audible warning, vibrating seat. If unacceptable absence or incapacitation of the pilot is determined then a recovery procedure begins e.g. unlock cockpit door, automatic landing, distress tracker.

Title: EDCA backoff restart procedures in EMLSR or EMLMR co-affiliated stations
Inventor: MICKAËL LORGEOUX
IPC: H04W76/15
Filed: 2022-06-10
Abstract: A non-access point (non-AP) multi-link device (MLD) operating in an Enhanced Multi-Link (EML) mode, in response to a starting a frame exchange with an AP MLD over a first link of a set of enabled links where EML mode is applied, suspends a backoff counter driving an Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) in a second link of the set. A restart strategy may be selected, based on a property of the frame exchange, to restart the backoff counter, including whether frame exchange includes single-user (SU) or multi-user (MU) trigger-based uplink transmissions to the AP MLD or only downlink transmission from the AP MLD. Additionally, a non-AP in EML mode, in response to ending a frame exchange, switches EDCA parameters of a backoff counter from current EDCA parameters to different EML EDCA parameters. The non-AP MLD may store sets of EMLSR and EMLMR EDCA parameters. Further, an AP MLD sends a management frame to non-AP MLDs wherein the management frame includes a set of EML EDCA parameters. The EML EDCA parameters are used to configure an EDCA of a non-AP MLD to drive access to a first set of links when a frame exchange with the AP MLD ends.
