    摘要: The invention relates to a method and system for detection of an object in proximity to an electronic device, which method comprises the steps of:—producing, via the processing unit using one or more parameters relating to a loudspeaker, a controlled audio signal;—amplifying using an amplifier at least said controlled audio signal, thereby producing an amplified audio signal at an amplifier output; wherein an amplitude of the controlled audio signal is such that the amplified audio signal is less than or equal to an amplitude determined to be safe for the loudspeaker in view of the one or more parameters,—analyzing at least one of said one or more parameters relating to the loudspeaker to detect a change in response of the loudspeaker; the change in response being caused by an object that is present in the acoustical path of the loudspeaker,—determining, based upon the analysis whether the object is located in close proximity to the electronic device.

    摘要: Ultrasonic audio processing circuitry and a method useful in ultrasonic presence detection. An ultrasonic burst generator produces an ultrasonic burst signal at one or more ultrasonic frequencies, and an equalizer equalizes that ultrasonic burst signal according to frequency response characteristics of the speaker and microphone at those ultrasonic frequencies. Driver circuitry drives a speaker with the ultrasonic burst signal, which may be combined with an audible audio signal. An ultrasonic separation filter separates an ultrasonic portion from a signal received at a microphone, and processing circuitry is provided to determine a delay time of an echo corresponding to the ultrasonic burst signal in that separated ultrasonic portion of the received signal. In another aspect, the equalizer equalizes an ultrasonic portion of the signal received at a microphone, according to frequency response characteristics of the speaker and microphone at the ultrasonic frequencies of the burst.

    摘要: A pallet safety system includes one or more of a pallet bed monitoring system, a pallet height monitoring system, and a pallet interface monitoring system, each of which provide an emitter and a detector. The safety system may be configured to be retrofit to an existing pallet system and is enabled to monitor the presence of unwanted obstructions at various regions proximate to the pallet bed opening, including a plane region above and parallel to the pallet beds, a region proximate to an interface between the pallet system and a material processing system, and a region between an upper and lower pallet.

    摘要: A technique for determining a presence of a person in a room may include an electronic device transmitting an electromagnetic wireless signal of a first sensor. The technique may include receiving an electromagnetic return signal from the electromagnetic wireless signal. The technique may include detecting a potential target in the room based on the electromagnetic return signal. The technique may include determining that the potential target is in the room using a second sensor. Responsive to determining the potential target is in the room, the technique may include saving a training signature of the electromagnetic return signal for training a machine learning model. This technique can be repeated to obtain a set of training signatures corresponding to potential targets. The technique may include training, using the set of training signatures, the machine learning model to detect when a target is in the room using the first sensor.

    摘要: An object detection device includes a transceiver that transmits ultrasonic waves encoded with frequency modulation and receives an ultrasonic wave and outputs a reception signal, a first quadrature detector that generates and outputs a complex reception signal based on quadrature detection of the reception signal, a second quadrature detector that generates and outputs a complex reference signal based on quadrature detection of the reference signal, a correlation filter that performs correlation detection between the complex reception signal and the complex reference signal and outputs a correlation signal, and a code determiner that determines a code included in the reception signal based on the correlation signal.
