Abstract: A positioning system is disclosed for measuring a position of a vehicle on land, air, and space, using measurements from a global positioning system receiver and an inertial measurement unit. In the present invention, an integrated Kalman filter processes the all-available measurements of the global positioning system: pseudorange, delta range, carrier phase, and the solution of an inertial navigation system. The integrated Kalman filter is a multi-mode, robust kalman filter, in which optimal integrated mode is selected based on the measurement availability and filter stability. The high accurate solution of the inertial navigation system, which is corrected by the Kalman filter, is used to aid on-the-fly resolution of the carrier phase integer ambiguity of global positioning system in order to incorporate the carrier phase measurements into the Kalman filter, and to aid the carrier phase and code tracking loops of the receiver of the global positioning system to improve the receiver jamming and high dynamic resistance.

Abstract: An improved fully-coupled vehicle positioning process and system thereof can substantially solve the problems encountered in global positioning system-only and inertial navigation system-only, such as loss of global positioning satellite signal, sensibility to jamming and spoofing, and inertial solution's drift over time, in which the velocity and acceleration from an inertial navigation processor are used to aid the code and carrier phase tracking of the global positioning system satellite signals, so as to enhance the performance of the global positioning and inertial integration system, even in heavy jamming and high dynamic environments. The improved fully-coupled GPS/IMU vehicle positioning system includes an IMU (inertial measurement unit) and a GPS processor which are connected to a central navigation processor to produce navigation solution that is output to an I/O (input/output) interface.

Abstract: A miniature in-vivo robotic module to be used for conducting dexterous manipulations on organs and other target entities in a patient's abdominal or peritoneal cavity as part of Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) is disclosed in this invention. The robotic module is a serial manipulator consisting of seven cylindrical links and six actively controllable rotational degrees of freedom, thereby enabling an end effector equipped with a laparoscopic type instrument to assume a commanded position and orientation within the robot's workspace. After overtube navigation starting from a natural orifice or preexisting wound, the module must be anchored and guided to a designated location along the inner abdominal cavity wall. This is accomplished via magnetic coupling forces between internal embedded magnets and magnets fixed to the end of a different robotic manipulator located external to the patient.

Abstract: A platform residing viewing sensor and a pointing system/weapon. An operator system is remotely monitoring the scene on a display as viewed by the viewing sensor such that an operator system can gaze, acquire and track targets by scanning the scene with eyes and locking the eyesight onto a selected target and track the target with the eyes. The system further includes a dual camera sensor that follows and monitors the operator system's eyes motion so that the operator system can simultaneously monitor the external viewing sensor's scene, locking and tracking some selected target. The display coordinates of the selected target are utilized to point the pointing system/weapon on the external platform so that the operator system can fire at the target as desired. The problem is thus summarized as one of controlling the weapon pointing, movement and firing on a target that has been selected and is tracked by the eyes of an operator system viewing a display.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a two-dimensional displacement is disclosed and includes a laser light source, a collimator lens, a beam splitter, a plurality of staggered conjugate optic lens and a plurality of interference optical dephasing modules. The laser light source provides a laser light incident on the collimator lens to generate collimated laser beams. Each of the collimated laser beams are incident on the beam splitter to be separated into two incident beams and incident on a two-dimensional diffraction unit to generate a plurality of first diffracted beams and a plurality of second-order diffracted beams. The staggered conjugate optic lens are used to reflect the first diffracted beams so that the first diffracted beams return to the two-dimensional diffraction unit to generate a plurality of second diffracted beams where the second diffracted beams and the second-order diffracted beams generated as a result of the first diffraction of the beams stagger.
