ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,541,017, issued on Feb. 3, was assigned to Robert Bosch GmbH (Germany).
"In-vehicle occupancy sensing via high-resolution ultra-wideband power delay profile" was invented by Shuai Wang (Fairfax, Va.), Yunze Zeng (San Jose, Calif.) and Vivek Jain (Sunnyvale, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of sensing occupancy of a vehicle using ultra-wide band (UWB) communication includes transmitting and receiving a UWB signal within the vehicle, obtaining channel impulse response (CIR) data corresponding to the UWB signal as received within the vehicle, calculating power delay profile (PDP) results for the CIR data, determining, based on ...
