    摘要: The present invention provides methods and systems that enable a mobile navigation receiver to accurately determine its trajectory with non-current ephemeris in stand-alone mode. In an embodiment, the receiver computes the position for the same location using non-current ephemeris and current ephemeris at different time instances. The receiver then determines a position correction by finding the difference between these two computed positions, and applies this correction to the trajectory generated with non-current ephemeris to obtain a more accurate trajectory. In another embodiment, the receiver computes an initial position of the receiver using non-current ephemeris and finds the difference between the computed initial position and an accurate approximation of the initial position. The receiver then shifts the subsequent receiver trajectory computed using non-current ephemeris by the difference to obtain a more accurate trajectory.

    摘要: The present invention provides GPS receivers capable of tracking very weak GPS signals particularly in an indoor environment without assistance from an external server or a network. In a preferred embodiment, a GPS receiver initially acquires and locks onto GPS satellite signals to compute receiver position outdoors. The GPS receiver then tracks at least one satellite signal indoors to maintain acquisition parameters for quick acquisition of GPS signals. To save power, the receiver automatically goes to the sleep state and periodically wakes up, i.e., powers up, to maintain the at least one satellite signal tracking. During the wakeup state, the receiver collects ephemeris data from the at least one satellite signal when the ephemeris data needs to be updated for quick acquisition of GPS signals.

    摘要: An improved image sensing array including a semiconductive substrate having formed therein an array of discrete substrate areas organized in rows and columns. The array of areas is segmented into a plurality of blocks, each including a sub-array of the areas. At least one of the rows of each block has at least one reader cell formed therein, and the remaining rows of the block have photosensor cells formed in each area thereof. Each column of each block forms a column block including a plurality of photosensor cells, and a node line communicatively coupling each photosensor cell of the column block to an associated reader cell. A row address line is coupled to each photosensor cell in a particular row of the array. A column bit line is coupled to each reader cell in a particular column of the array. A block select line is coupled to each reader cell in a particular row of the array containing reader cells. In response to row select and block select inputs to the row address lines and the block select lines respectively, image data captured by each the photosensor cell is read out to a corresponding column-bit line through an associated reader cell for input to an output processing means. The output processing means may include a device for interpolating the data state of the image data supplanted by each reader cell of the array.

    摘要: CCDs and bipolar transistors are formed together on a silicon chip. For n channel CCDs and npn transistors, only a single extra diffusion is necessary in addition to the diffusions used for the CCDs alone. This step is diffusion of n.sup.+ collector wells, and is performed before CCD channel stop-transistor base diffusion. For p channel CCDs and pnp transistors, two extra diffusions are necessary and are: diffusion of a p collector wells, and diffusion of n.sup.+ base contracts; the extra diffusions may both be performed before CCD channel stop-transistor base diffusion, or the n.sup.+ base contact diffusion may be performed thereafter.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods and systems for keeping the ephemeris in a navigational receiver current to achieve fast TTFF without the need for connecting to an aiding network or remote server. In an embodiment, the receiver keeps the ephemeris current by downloading the ephemeris in the background. In the preferred embodiment, the receiver uses a background sleep/wake up process to download current ephemeris with minimal power drain. In this embodiment, the receiver alternates between a sleep mode and a wake up mode. During the wake up mode, the receiver attempts to download current ephemeris. The receiver then goes back to the sleep mode until the next wake up to conserve power. The receiver may wake up from the sleep mode to download the ephemeris when the stored ephemeris is no longer current or the ephemeris broadcasted from a satellite has been updated or based on receiver usage patterns.
