A method for detecting an activity of an object disposed within a medium at a depth ranging from about 0 to about 100 cm using a radar system, the method including establishing a baseline radar power level of the object in the medium; and detecting one or more radar data anomalies in radar data received of the medium with respect to the baseline radar power level, wherein a presence of the one or more anomalies indicates a presence of the activity of the object.

Activity detection in sand environment

A method and system for remote animal surveillance and distress monitoring includes detecting biometric and behavioral parameters of the animal, identifying novel events based on comparison of detected parameters to predefined parameter values and qualifications; determining whether parameter values or a composite parameter value exceeds a predefined value threshold indicative of possible distress in the animal; and notifying remote caretakers of possible distress in the animal based on the composite value exceeding the predefined value threshold.

A method for remote animal surveillance and distress monitoring includes detecting biometric and behavioral parameters of the animal, identifying novel events based on comparison of detected parameters to predefined parameter values and qualifications; determining whether a composite parameter value exceeds a predefined composite threshold value indicative of possible distress in the animal; and notifying remote caretakers of possible distress in the animal based on the composite value exceeding the predefined composite threshold value.

An apparatus for assisting in the transfer of an image from an image bearing member onto a copy substrate, comprises an image bearing member carrying an image to be transferred, a feed mechanism for feeding a copy substrate to the image bearing member, and a transfer assist mechanism movable to an activated position bearing on the substrate to maintain the substrate in contact with the image bearing member to assist in transferring the image thereto, and to a de-activated position. A sensor generates a signal in response to passage of the leading edge and the trailing edge of the substrate to ascertain an actual length of the substrate as it moves to the image bearing member. A controller is operable to direct the transfer assist mechanism to move to the activated position and then to direct the transfer assist mechanism to move to the de-activated position after a de-activation dwell time. The de-activation dwell time is at least initially a nominal dwell time based on an expected length of the substrate from its leading edge to its trailing edge. The controller is operable to change the de-activation dwell time from the nominal dwell time in response to the determination of the actual length of the substrate.
