| 20090002221 | Traffic Alert Police Radar - An enhanced police Doppler direction sensing radar detects possibly dangerous traffic conditions during certain vehicle maneuvers such as U-turns and returns to travel after roadside stops. By monitoring a host or primary vehicle speed, speed transitions, transmission state (e.g. gear selection), and the closing vehicle position, range and speed, a number of selectable conditions are detected, resulting in an alert indication to a primary vehicle operator. User preferences and thresholds allow the traffic alert function to be customized according to a primary vehicle operator's desire to suppress alerts in situations which the user does not deem dangerous. The traffic alert function may be automatically triggered under certain detected conditions, or manually initiated when the primary vehicle operator intends to make a driving maneuver. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090009382 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING SIGNAL DIRECTION USING ARTIFICIAL DOPPLER SHIFTS - A method for determining the direction of an incoming signal is provided in which each of a plurality of receivers arranged in a linear array is sampled in sequence to simulate a single receiver moving along an aperture defined by the linear array at a simulated speed. This generates a simulated time series data from which a simulated Doppler shift in the incident angle is measured. The simulated Doppler shift is used to determine the incident angle between the incident signal and the linear array of receivers. By adjusting the simulated speed to eliminate artifacts in the power spectral density of the data obtained from the receivers, the incident angle can be obtain from the expression of the simulated Doppler shift. | 01-08-2009 |
