Title: Three-dimensional intrusion detection system and three-dimensional intrusion detection method
Inventor: KAZUHIRO TSUBOTA
IPC: G01C11/06
Filed: 2018-01-19
Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to enable an observer to easily perform work of checking that a detection is not erroneous, whether intrusion detection is operating normally, and so forth as necessary, and to enable an observer to efficiently carry out observation work. In the present invention, an observation area is captured using at least two cameras disposed so as to be separated from each other, a plurality of camera images are obtained, three-dimensional measurement is performed in which a three-dimensional position of an object inside the observation area is measured by a three-dimensional measurement unit on the basis of the camera images, and three-dimensional information regarding the observation area is generated. An intrusion detection unit detects an object that has intruded into the observation area on the basis of a change in the three-dimensional information. An image generating unit generates a map image that visualizes the three-dimensional information and a mark image that indicates the object that has intruded into the observation area. The image generating unit outputs an observation screen in which an image selected by an input operation of a user from among the camera images and the map image, and the mark image are displayed.

Title: Method for seamlessly changing a value of an extended unique identifier of a non-AP station associated with an AP station
Inventor: Stéphane Baron
IPC: H04W12/02
Filed: 2022-02-11
Abstract: A method for changing a value of an Extended Unique Identifier, EUI, of a non-access point, non-AP, station associated with an access point, AP, station. The non-AP and AP station both use the same mechanism to determine the new EUI value. An EUI change start time and transition period duration is determined. Once the new EUI value has been determined, data is transmitted between the non-AP and AP station using both the current and new EUI value. Transmission of both EUI values is only for the transition period duration. Information for obtaining the EUI change start time is transferred between the non-AP and AP station. The EUI may be the MAC address. The request for changing EUI may be a beacon frame. The information for obtaining EUI change start time may be a counter included in the beacon frame indicating a number of Target Beacon Transmission Times (TBTTs).

Title: An RFiD based automatic labeling system for management of expiring food and medicine
Inventor: ARIAN SHOARI
IPC: G06Q50/12
Filed: 2017-04-13
Abstract: A system comprises a processor, database and either a radio frequency (RF) reader and a user’s RF tag or a barcode reader and barcode on a food container label. The database stores food types and corresponding periods for safely consuming food of that type after opening its container. The processor generates food expiration information comprising an expiration date calculated using a current date (when the container is opened) and a food-specific safe consumption period retrieved from the database based on the food type – and optionally user information based on their RF tag. It may be generated in response to detection of the RF tag by the reader or when the user opens the food container. Alternatively it may be generated upon scanning the barcode and retrieving the food-specific safe consumption period may be based on a food type identifier stored there-on. Another system uses sensors for detecting use of a soap dispenser and faucet and a user’s RF tag to determine compliance with a hygiene standard (Figures 10-11).

Title: Thermal protection venting system for aircraft and spaceplanes
Inventor: STEPHEN DESMOND LEWIS
IPC: B64C1/40
Filed: 2022-06-10
Abstract: An aircraft or space plane has a space formed between an aluminium alloy skin 2 and a stainless steel outer wrap 3, the space contains glass fibre and/or mineral wool forming a thermal insulation 1 sandwich. A duct 4 is in fluid communication with the insulation space and with the atmosphere, allowing air to pass between the insulation space and the atmosphere, which may equalise the pressure when air trapped in the insulation space is heated as aircraft velocity increases, preventing rupture of the outer wrap; the duct faces in an aft direction of the aircraft to prevent air being rammed into the space. A stainless steel gauze or mesh 6 is attached to the duct, and may act as a heat flashback arrestor and/or prevent insects and birds entering the insulation space.

Title: Monolithic combined transceiver
Inventor: Vemund Bakken
IPC: H04B1/40
Filed: 2022-06-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a monolithic transceiver 200, such as a system on chip (SoC) that implements both a narrowband (NB) transceiver 300 and an ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver 400 on a continuous piece of semiconductor. The narrowband transceiver may operate in accordance with either BLE or IEEE 802.15.4 protocols. The transceivers preferably share a common crystal oscillator, voltage supply or antenna. The invention also relates to a method of operating the monolithic transceiver to time interleave operations of the narrowband transceiver (547, Fig. 4) with operations of the UWB transceiver 548. This could involve scheduling the UWB transceiver in time slots not used for BLE, or scheduling the UWB in IEEE 802.15.4 SIFS/LIFS slots. The invention may be used in a real time location system (RTLS).
