Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090167884Self-Similar Capture Systems - An image capture system providing self-similar image elements. The self-similar nature of the image elements makes the information taken from an image of an object be invariant with both the magnification and rotation of the object. This can significantly reduce the processing required for object alignment and magnification adjustment during object recognition, identification, verification, or classification processes.07-02-2009

20090171583GLOBAL POSITION SYSTEM (GPS) USER RECEIVER AND GEOMETRIC SURFACE PROCESSING FOR ALL-IN-VIEW COHERENT GPS SIGNAL PRN CODES ACQUISITION AND NAVIGATION SOLUTION - A method and system for enabling a more robust detection, acquisition and positioning solution capability for a GPS device. The system and method uses GPS satellite ranging signals based on a simultaneous, all-in-view coherent PRN code signal processing scheme, rather than acquisition of GPS signals one at a time, in order to predict a location of a GPS user receiver. Additionally, image processing techniques, ultra-tight coupling processing techniques, or a combination thereof, are used to further enhance accuracy in determining the location of the user receiver. Signal processing techniques are used to determine the location of the GPS user receiver when no GPS satellite ranging signals can be individually detected, or when only one or two strong GPS satellite ranging signals can be individually detected in weak signal environments, jamming conditions, and a combination thereof.07-02-2009
20090262014METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALL-IN-VIEW COHERENT GPS SIGNAL PRN CODES ACQUISITION AND NAVIGATION SOLUTION DETERMINATION - A method and system for enabling more robust detection, positioning and time solution using GPS satellite ranging signals based on a simultaneous, all-in-view coherent PRN code signal processing scheme rather than acquisition of GPS signals one at a time. Additionally, a plurality of signal processing operating modes are provided that include a Factory Start mode, a Hot Start mode, a Subsequent Fix mode and a Reacquisition mode. Each mode provides a user receiver with an ability to quickly determine its current probable location without undue delay when a prior probable location has been obtained. Preventing undue delay of predicting a probable location of the user can be especially valuable in conditions where weak signals are being received, or in high interference environments, or when signal jamming conditions are being experienced, or when a combination of such environments is present.10-22-2009
