| 20110125323 | LOCALIZATION BY LEARNING OF WAVE-SIGNAL DISTRIBUTIONS - A robot having a signal sensor configured to measure a signal, a motion sensor configured to measure a relative change in pose, a local correlation component configured to correlate the signal with the position and/or orientation of the robot in a local region including the robot's current position, and a localization component configured to apply a filter to estimate the position and optionally the orientation of the robot based at least on a location reported by the motion sensor, a signal detected by the signal sensor, and the signal predicted by the local correlation component. The local correlation component and/or the localization component may take into account rotational variability of the signal sensor and other parameters related to time and pose dependent variability in how the signal and motion sensor perform. Each estimated pose may be used to formulate new or updated navigational or operational instructions for the robot. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20110269418 | RF Performance Improvement - A method is disclosed that includes measuring, under control of one or more processors of a mobile device, performance of a radio frequency reception parameter for radio frequency reception for the mobile device. The mobile device includes one or more antennas over which the radio frequency reception occurs and the one or more processors. The method includes causing movement of the mobile device to improve the performance of the radio frequency reception parameter. A mobile device includes one or more antennas over which radio frequency reception occurs, one or more processors, and one or more memories including computer program code. The mobile device performs at least the following: measuring, under control of the one or more processors, performance of a radio frequency reception parameter, and causing movement of the mobile device to improve the performance of the a radio frequency reception parameter. Program products are also disclosed. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20090106800 | Controlling supplementary data channels using display state information - Controlling supplementary data channels using display state information involves processing, at a user device, a first broadcast signal having a content channel and a second signal having a supplementary data channel. The supplementary data channel is related to the content channel. The broadcast channel and supplementary channel are rendered to a user via the user device. The supplementary channel is at least partially rendered on a display of the user device. An event is determined that causes the display to be no longer viewable by the user. In response to determining the event, processing and rendering the supplementary data channel is ceased. The action of ceasing to process the supplementary data channel results in lowering power consumption of the user device. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20090304050 | Method in a CDMA Receiver Using Hardware and Software in Acquisition, Tracking and Hosting - A method including: using both dedicated circuitry and a programmable processor system for acquisition of a communication channel; and using the dedicated circuitry for tracking the acquired communication channel while using the programmable processor system for hosting an application that uses information dependent upon data dependent on the acquired communication channel. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20110130151 | APPARATUS FOR ASSISTING IN PROVIDING A FIRST FIXING GLOBAL POSITIONING SATELLITE SYSTEM, ASSOCIATED APPARATUS AND METHODS - There is provided a method for assisting in providing a first fix in a global positioning satellite system, the method comprising: storing of connection point association data for a network connection point, observed by a portable electronic device, for subsequent use in assisting in providing a first fix, the connection point association data providing for approximation of the position of a device at the observed network connection point by associating together connection point identifiers of the observed network connection point and one or more other network connection points to allow for positional data used for determining the position at one or more other network connection points to be used for the approximation of the position of the device at the observed network connection point. | 06-02-2011 |

| 20100320759 | Method and apparatus for ocean energy conversion, storage and transportation to shore-based distribution centers - A fleet of vessels attached together longitudinally (rows), and transversely (columns) and operating in unison convert wave energy to electrical energy which is stored in either a chemical or electrical form. The vessels when detached from the fleet provide transportation to coastal or by navigable waterway ports of call for distribution to market centers. Both wind wave and swell wave energy conversion is performed by use of the differential motion between the vessels. Means are provided for the energy conversion systems to adapt to changes in wave direction, wave length, amplitude, and phase. Such vessels are self powered for off shore or inland waterway navigation, either singularly or in multiples, with which to deliver energy to other sea going vessels or to land based ports of call. Two or more of such vessels are capable of using the energy of waves during the delivery process. The fleet can maintain a designated geographical location by dynamic positioning. Alternatively, the fleet may maintain its designated position by moorage of a designated centrally located vessel in the fleet to a permanent anchoring system when operating at appropriate depths. | 12-23-2010 |
