A sensor and method for sleep position detection including: a transmitter configured to transmit electromagnetic waves between 30 GHz and 300 GHz; a receiver configured to receive the electromagnetic waves from the transmitter, wherein the transmitter and receiver are positioned in relation to person sleeping such that the receiver receives reflected electromagnetic waves; and a control station configured to analyze the transmitted and received electromagnetic waves to determine a position of the person sleeping. In some cases, the method may include: forming a radar cube of results; performing a fast fourier transform (FFT) on the radar cube; applying a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processor to the FFT data; determining a capon gradient; forming a 5-dimensional feature space based on the capon gradient; and conducting an optimization of SVM.

System and method for sensing with millimeter waves for sleep position detection, vital signs monitoring and/or driver detection

A biometric sensor including: a transmitter configured to transmit electromagnetic waves between 1 GHz and 300 GHz; a receiver configured to receive the electromagnetic waves from the transmitter; and wherein the transmitter and receiver are positioned in relation to an object to be scanned such that the receiver receives reflected electromagnetic waves. A method for sensing including: transmitting electromagnetic waves between 1 GHz and 300 GHz to an object; receiving reflected electromagnetic waves from the object; analyzing the electromagnetic waves and reflected electromagnetic waves to determine a characteristic of interest associated with the object.

System and method for sensing with millimeter waves

The present disclosure relates to systems, devices and methods for eyeglasses frames and eyeglasses frames assemblies for wearable electronic devices, and particularly relates to systems, devices, and methods that employ an antenna in eyeglasses frames and eyeglasses frames assemblies for wearable heads-up displays. In an embodiment, a pair of eyeglasses includes a first arm housing a radio and an antenna passing internally from the radio to at least a portion of a front eyeglass frame, which includes a first and second rim securely physically coupled by a bridge. A power source is coupled to the first arm or a second arm and electrically coupled to the radio via an electrically conductive path.

Antenna designs for wearable heads-up displays

Systems, devices and methods for eyeglasses frames and eyeglasses frames assemblies for wearable electronic devices, and particularly systems, devices, and methods that employ an antenna in eyeglasses frames and eyeglasses frames assemblies for wearable heads-up displays, the systems, devices and methods including a pair of eyeglasses having a first arm housing a radio and an antenna, wherein the antenna has a principal axis and main lobe extending outward therefrom and a power source is coupled to the first arm or a second arm and electrically coupled to the radio via an electrically conductive path.

Wearable heads-up displays with antennas and antennas for same

A mobile wireless communications device may include a housing, and circuitry carried by the housing. The circuitry may include a wireless transceiver, a wireless broadcast receiver, audio circuitry coupled to the wireless transceiver and the wireless broadcast receiver, a wired headset jack, and a reference voltage device line, and at least one wired headset device line coupled between the audio circuitry and the wired headset jack. The reference voltage device line may be also coupled to the wireless broadcast receiver so that a corresponding reference voltage headset line of a wired headset serves as an antenna for the wireless broadcast receiver. The reference voltage line may be switchable to one or more connectors at the headset jack.

Mobile wireless communications device using wired headset as an antenna and related methods

A mobile wireless communications device may include a portable housing, and an antenna carried by the portable housing. The mobile wireless communications device may further include wireless communications circuitry carried by the portable housing and an adjustable impedance matching network coupled between the wireless communications circuitry and the antenna. An audio input transducer and an audio output transducer may be carried by the portable housing. The mobile wireless communications device may further include a controller carried by the portable housing and configured to determine an acoustic coupling between the audio input transducer and the audio output transducer. The controller may further be configured to adjust the adjustable impedance matching network based upon the determined acoustic coupling.
