    Abstract: Provided is a method of determining timing of arrival of a signal on a path to a receiver in a mobile wireless communications system. The method comprises obtaining a channel impulse response (CIR) of a signal received at the receiver and deriving a power characteristic of the CIR. The method includes producing a first derivative of the power characteristic with respect to time, selecting some or all extrema from the first derivative of the power characteristic as indicative of candidate signal paths, and selecting one or more of said candidate signal paths. The method preferably includes determining timing of arrival of a signal on a first path of arrival at the receiver by assessing an energy value of each of said candidate signal paths against a threshold value.

    Abstract: Methods and systems which provide object edge image representation generation using block based edgel techniques implementing post edgel detection processing to eliminate false edges are described. Embodiments subdivide image data (e.g., image point clouds) to facilitate separate edgel detection processing of a plurality of sub-blocks of the image data. A false edge elimination algorithm of embodiments is applied in recombining the object edge image representation sub-blocks resulting from the sub-block edgel detection processing to eliminate false edge artifacts associated with use of block based edgel detection.

    Abstract: A wireless power transmitter that supplies power to a load. The wireless power transmitter includes an inverter, a voltage phase detector, a current phase detector, a phase difference counter, a controller and an impedance tuning circuit. The phase difference counter counts a phase difference between the voltage phase and the current phase at the output port of the inverter. The controller receives the phase difference from the phase difference counter and generates a control signal that changes an output impedance of the inverter in response to changes of a varying impedance of the load that is coupled with the output port of the inverter wirelessly. The impedance tuning circuit receives the control signal from the controller and tunes an imaginary part of the output impedance of the inverter to zero in order to maximize a power transfer efficiency from the wireless power transmitter to the load.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for selection of synchronization targets. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for selecting a synchronization target for a network device, within operational network constraints, when the network device loses its current synchronization target. When a network device loses its current synchronization target, the stratum index of the network device is downgraded to an artificial stratum index before a selection of a new synchronization target is made. The artificial stratum index is broadcast to children network devices. Downgrading the stratum index to an artificial stratum index allows for selection of available synchronization target network devices with stratum indices higher than or equal to the network device's stratum index. After selection of a new synchronization target, the network device's stratum index is updated, and the new updated stratum index of the network device is broadcast to the children network devices of the network device.

    Abstract: Techniques for effectively and accurately measuring psychological influencing factors, such as the white coat effect and mental stress, that may affect or otherwise influence biometric measurements, such as blood pressure measurements, are described. Embodiments of a measurement validation system herein may utilize a method for determining an artery location on a living subject's skin and positioning a tonometry pressure sensor on the artery location for tonometric blood pressure measurement to obtain pressure pulse data for a subject. In operation according to embodiments, measurement logic of a measurement validation system may utilize the pressure pulse data to extract blood pressure data, heart rate data, blood pressure variability data, and heart rate variability data. The foregoing data may be utilized in identifying whether the blood pressure measurement properly and accurately reflects the situation of the subject.
