    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a frequency analysis processing includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute a fast Fourier transform process that includes performing a fast Fourier transform operation on data of two groups into which sensor data sensed at a first sampling frequency by a sensor is divided, and execute a change process that includes changing, in a case where results of butterfly operations of the fast Fourier transform operation are similar between the two groups, a sampling frequency at which the sensor operates to a second sampling frequency lower than the first sampling frequency.

    Abstract: A method and a lighting control system for automatically determining a calibration curve for use in daylight harvesting applications. The lighting control system comprises a light sensor configured for recording light levels and a load controller configured for provide a dimmed output to a lighting load. The calibration curve comprises a calibration slope (SC) defined by a calibration coordinate (CC) and a night coordinate (CN). The calibration coordinate (CC) comprises a calibration dimming level (DC) set by a user and a calibration light level (LC) recorded by the light sensor when the lighting load is set to the calibration dimming level (DC). The night coordinate (CN) comprises a night scene dimming level (DN) and a night scene light level (LN), wherein the night scene light level (LN) comprises a difference between a sunlight plus night scene light level (LNS) recorded by the light sensor when the lighting load is set to the night scene dimming level (DN) and a sunlight level (LS) recorded by the light sensor when the lighting load is turned off.

    Abstract: A flame detector includes an ultraviolet (UV) sensor to detect UV radiation emitted by a flame; a testing apparatus to periodically test function of the flame detector. The testing apparatus includes a UV light emitting diode (UVLED) emitter to emit a test signal and a mirror to reflect the test signal emitted from the UVLED emitter to the UV sensor. A method of testing an ultraviolet (UV) flame detector includes transmitting a test signal from a UV light emitting diode (UVLED) emitter. The test signal is reflected toward a UV sensor of the flame detector, and the test signal received at the UV sensor is evaluated.

    Abstract: A user-wearable device includes a front facing first light detector and a backside optical sensor, which faces the user's skin and includes a light source and a second light detector. The device also includes a skin tone detector and an ultraviolet (UV) exposure detector. The UV exposure detector is adapted to determine estimate(s) of a user's exposure to UV light in dependence on signal(s) produced using the first light detector, calibrate UV exposure threshold(s) in dependence on a skin tone metric produced using the skin tone detector, compare estimate(s) of a user's exposure to UV light to calibrated UV exposure threshold(s), and selectively trigger an alert in dependence on results of the comparison(s). The second light detector is also used to produce a photoplethysmography (PPG) signal from which measures heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), respiration rate (RR) or respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is/are produced.

    Abstract: A two dimensional scanning laser system may automatically detect a laser, then align and calibrate itself to scan over the sensor area. The system may have a laser with a controller that may cause the laser to be directed over two dimensions, as well as a sensor apparatus. The laser may be controlled with a mirror system that may pivot in two directions, thus allowing the laser to be scanned over a two dimensional area. The sensor may be a point sensor, where the laser may be positioned in a constant direction, as well as a larger area sensor where the laser may be moved across the sensor area to detect objects in a two or three dimensional space. An alignment and calibration sequence may cause the laser to scan across its operational area and detect the location of one or more sensors.
