11579314 · 2023-02-14 · ·

A traffic radar system comprises a first radar transceiver, a second radar transceiver, a speed determining element, and a processing element. The first radar transceiver transmits and receives radar beams and generates a first electronic signal corresponding to the received radar beam. The second radar transceiver transmits and receives radar beams and generates a second electronic signal corresponding to the received radar beam. The speed determining element determines and outputs a speed of the patrol vehicle. The processing element is configured to receive a plurality of digital data samples derived from the first or second electronic signals, receive the speed of the patrol vehicle, process the digital data samples to determine a relative speed of at least one target vehicle in the front zone or the rear zone, and convert the relative speed of the target vehicle to an absolute speed using the speed of the patrol vehicle.

Recognizing gestures based on wireless signals

In a general aspect, a motion detection system detects gestures (e.g., human gestures) and initiates actions in response to the detected gestures. In some aspects, channel information is obtained based on wireless signals transmitted through a space by one or more wireless communication devices. A gesture recognition engine analyzes the channel information to detect a gesture (e.g., a predetermined gesture sequence) in the space. An action to be initiated in response to the detected gesture is identified. An instruction to perform the action is sent to a network-connected device associated with the space.
