Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of a location determining device includes a processor that is configured to determine an indicated distance between a first detector and a source based on a signal originating at the source and detected by the detector, determine a second distance between the source and a second detector that does not have a direct signal path to the source based on a signal originating at the source and detected by the second detector, and determine a reliability of the indicated distance for determining the location by determining whether the indicated distance corresponds to a direct signal path between the first detector and the source based on a difference between the indicated distance and the second distance.

Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of a system includes a detector configured to detect a signal from a source and provide first signal information regarding a distance a detected signal traveled between the source and the detector. A processor is configured to determine whether the first signal information corresponds to a direct signal path between the detector and the source or the first signal information corresponds to a reflected signal based on second signal information from at least one other detector that does not have a direct signal path between the other detector and the source. The processor determines a location of the detector based on the first signal information only when the first signal information corresponds to the direct signal path between the detector and the source.

Abstract: A device for determining position information includes a detector that is configured to detect a position of the device and a processor that is configured to determine the position information based on a primary position indication from the detector and a secondary position indication from a second detector that is distinct from the detector. The processor determines the position information by aligning the primary position indication with the secondary position indication based on identifying a pattern of the primary position indication that corresponds with a pattern of the secondary position indication.

Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of a system for determining heading direction information includes a plurality of detectors in a predetermined detector arrangement. The detectors are respectively configured to detect at least one satellite. At least one processor is configured to determine a spatial relationship between at least one characteristic of the detector arrangement and a single satellite detected by each of the detectors. The processor is configured to determine the spatial relationship at each of a plurality of times when each of the detectors detects the single satellite. The processor is configured to determine heading direction information based on a difference between the determined spatial relationships.
