Title: Methods and systems for radar detection of rotational motion
Inventor: ADAM NARBUDOWICZ
IPC: G01S13/75
Filed: 2016-12-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus of measuring the rotation of a target, wherein the target manipulates the phase of an incident polarised radar signal depending on its orientation, comprising steps of: transmitting an elliptically or linearly polarised signal towards the target, receiving a scattered signal from the target, measuring a phase change of the received signal over time, calculating a change in orientation of said target.

Title: Improved apparatus and method for identifying radio locations relative to geo-fence
Inventor: XUN FEI
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2014-11-27
Abstract: A communication device receives coordinates for an inner area and an outer area associated with a geo-fence. The communication device determines its current location coordinate and determines how the current location coordinate relates to the coordinates for the inner area and the outer area. The communication device discovers, using the current location coordinate and the coordinates for the inner area and the outer area, that the communication device is located outside of the inner area and inside of the outer area. Responsive to the discovering, the communication device sends a query to a network equipment to determine the current location of the communication device relative to the geo-fence. The communication device receives information associated with an intermediate area and uses the information associated with the intermediate area to determine the current location of the communication device relative to the geo-fence.
