System and Method for Providing Distributed Wireless Communication
A system for providing distributed wireless communication for at least one user equipment with connectivity and/or security against at least one eavesdropper is provided. The system includes wireless communication units and a scheduling unit. In this context, the scheduling unit is configured to schedule a first subset of the wireless communication units for radar sensing in order to gather radar sensing information with respect to the at least one user equipment, the environment of the at least one user equipment, the at least one eavesdropper, the environment of the at least one eavesdropper, or any combination thereof. In addition to this, the scheduling unit is configured to schedule a second subset of the wireless communication units for distributing the wireless communication with respect to the at least one user equipment on the basis of the radar sensing information.
Electronic warfare system device with non-real-time threat signal analysis and electronic attack function
Provided are electronic warfare system device including: an electronic warfare support unit for receiving a threat signal and generating a Pulse Description Word (PDW) using the received threat signal; an electronic warfare system display for downloading the PDW to perform a threat signal analysis and selecting an electronic attack technique based on the threat signal analysis; and an electronic attack unit for outputting at least one of noise jamming and deception jamming based on the electronic attack technique selected in the electronic warfare system display to perform an electronic attack.
DISPLAYS FOR TINTABLE WINDOWS
A tintable window is described having a tintable coating, e.g., an electrochromic device coating, for regulating light transmitted through the window. In some embodiments, the window has a transparent display in the window's viewable region. Transparent displays may be substantially transparent when not in use, or when the window is viewed in a direction facing away from the transparent display. Windows may have sensors for receiving user commands and/or for monitoring environmental conditions. Transparent displays can display graphical user interfaces to, e.g., control window functions. Windows, as described herein, offer an alternative display to conventional projectors, TVs, and monitors. Windows may also be configured to receive, transmit, or block wireless communications from passing through the window. A window control system may share computational resources between controllers (e.g., at different windows). In some cases, the computational resources of the window control system are utilized by other building systems and devices.
Key fob communication control
Communication with a key fob of a vehicle can be controlled based on a key fob jamming condition. One or more sensors can be configured to detect the key fob jamming condition. In response to the key fob jamming condition being detected, a jamming device can be activated to cause one or more jamming signals to be emitted. The one or more jamming signals can prevent the key fob from receiving and responding to other signals.
CONTROLLER FOR AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING A COUNTER MEASURE SYSTEM
The present disclosure relates to a controller (10) for a counter measure system against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the controller (10) comprising a display device (18) and a processor configured to: receive target position data indicative of a position of a target UAV; receive effector position data indicative of a position of at least one counter measure effectors (12, 14); receive effector orientation data indicative of an orientation of the at least one counter measure effector (12, 14) relative to geographic cardinal directions; determine a field of effect (30, 32) of the at least one counter measure effector on the basis of the effector position data and the effector orientation data, said field (30, 32) of effect being indicative of an area covered by electromagnetic radiation emitted, in use, by the at least one counter measure effector; and, generate a display signal for displaying, on the display device, the position of the target UAV with respect to the field of effect (30, 32) of the at least one counter measure effector (12, 14).
REACTIVE JAMMING DETECTION
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to device, method, apparatus and computer readable storage media of reactive jamming detection. The method comprises in accordance with a determination that an interference to the first device is to be detected, determining at least one set of actual receiving powers at the first device on a bandwidth and a frequency of a channel associated with a transmission of the first device within a time interval; determining at least one set of reference receiving powers at the first device on the bandwidth and the frequency; and in accordance with a determination that a difference between the at least one set of reference receiving powers and the at least one set of actual receiving powers exceeds a threshold difference, determining the first device is interfered by reactive jamming. In this way, the malicious device that does not respect the LBT procedure in unlicensed bands can be recognized and meanwhile the devices using a different technology while respecting the LBT procedure can be allowed to access the channel.
Method and system for controlling and modifying driving behaviors
Disclosed herein is a method and system for detecting, monitoring and/or controlling one or more of mobile services for a mobile communication device (also referred to herein as a Controllable Mobile Device or CMD), and in particular, when the device is being used and the vehicle, operated by the user of the device, is moving. In addition, one aspect of the invention generally relates to a method and system for modifying a user's driving behaviors, in particular to a system and method for modifying a user's unsafe driving behaviors, e.g., using one or more services of a controllable mobile device while driving, by providing a score to the user rating indicating that they are using a mobile device in a distracting way, or driving in a manner that indicates that they are distracted.
Privacy device for smart speakers
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for a privacy blocking device configured to prevent receipt, by a listening device, of video and/or audio data until a trigger occurs. A blocker may be configured to prevent receipt of video and/or audio data by one or more microphones and/or one or more cameras of a listening device. The blocker may use the one or more microphones, the one or more cameras, and/or one or more second microphones and/or one or more second cameras to monitor for a trigger. The blocker may process the data. Upon detecting the trigger, the blocker may transmit data to the listening device. For example, the blocker may transmit all or a part of a spoken phrase to the listening device.
SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS FOR DETECTION AND/OR PREVENTION OF POWER LINE COMMUNICATION
There are provided systems, devices and methods for detection and/or prevention of power line communications. In particular, there are provided systems, devices, and methods for preventing and/or detecting the possibility to communicate with an end unit via power line communication.
OPTRONIC SYSTEM FOR A COUNTERMEASURE UNIT AND METHOD TO OPTICALLY COMMUNICATE
