Patent EP-2667223-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FINCHAM STEPHEN
IPC: G01S15/04
Filed: 2012-05-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for collision detection for robots using reduction of signal strength of an ultrasound signal to determine a collision event. In particular we describe a method and apparatus of collision detection in robots, such as robot lawn mowers and similar devices, which use a transmitter to transmit an ultrasound signal through a bumper to a receiver. A collision with the bumper causes a reduction in the signal strength and hence a reduction in the measured signal at a receiver compared with the expected signal. Ultrasound frequencies used are typically in the region of 40 KHz and the bumpers are constructed from either metal or polymers such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.

Abstract: A method and a fingerprinting device (400) for countering fingerprint forgery in a communication system (100; 200). The fingerprinting device (400) obtains and stores (310) a reference fingerprint for a client device (120), generates and transmits (320) decoy traffic (141 B) that appears to originate from the client device (120), the decoy traffic having different fingerprinting properties than real traffic from the client device (210), generates (330) a fingerprint for non-decoy traffic (141A; 141C) purportedly from the client device (210), and compares (340) the generated fingerprint with a reference fingerprint. A forged fingerprint is detected if there is a mismatch. The decoy traffic (141 B) preferably comprises frames to which no response is needed. The invention is particularly suited for 802.11 using fingerprints based on duration fields of received frames and the decoy traffic is then preferably probe request frames and null data frames.
