Abstract: A system (400, 500) and method (800) of personal inertial navigation measurements can include measuring (802) an angle, measuring (804) an angular velocity independent of an angle measurement, measuring (806) an angular acceleration independent of the angle measurement and independent of an angular velocity measurement, and combining (808) the angle measurement, the angular velocity measurement, and an angular acceleration to provide an angled output. The angle measurement can be measured using a compass or magnetic field, the angular velocity can be measured using a gyroscope (such as a MEMS gyroscope), and the angular acceleration measurement can be measured using an angular accelerometer (such as a molecular electronic transfer device having a magneto hydrodynamic effect device). The method can further include suppressing (810) noise caused by the angle measurement by using a sample and hold circuit (504) controlled by a higher ordered component to suppress noise from a lower ordered component.

Abstract: A wireless communication system (100) employs a method (700) and apparatus for automatically tracking locations of wireless communication devices (102, 104, 106) in a geographic area, such as an ad hoc area of an emergency scene, that is divided into two or more zones (108, 110, 112). A wireless communication device (102) or a host device (122), determines a location of the wireless device (102). The wireless device's location is then associated with one of the zones (108, 110, 112). An indication (410) of a zone change is presented to a user of the wireless device and/or the host device (102, 122), as applicable, in the event that the wireless device's location reflects a transition of the device from one zone to another. Alternatively, each wireless device (102, 104, 106) might be associated with a corresponding group, such as a fire department, and the zone change indication might include an identifier (412) of the wireless device's group.

Abstract: A method of increasing location accuracy in an inertial navigational device (100) is described herein. The navigational device (100) generates real-time data to depict its location. The data comprises at least one of sensor data, motion data, and location data. The navigational device (100) transmits the real-time data to a second device (104) in a real-time fashion. The navigational device (100) receives an update message from the second device (104), based on a comparison of the real-time data generated by the navigational device (100) against a second set of data. The navigational device (100) adjusts its depicted location based on the update message in order to increase the location accuracy of the navigational, device (100). Alternatively, the navigational device (100), absent the second device (104), can compare the real-time data generated against the second set of data internally and adjust its depicted location accordingly.

Abstract: A location determination system (100) utilizes a low accuracy timing infrastructure (106) to synchronize a personal tracking device (120) having high accuracy timing location determination devices integrated therein. The PTD (120) includes a radio frequency (RF) location unit (102) and integrated sensors, such as altimeter (132), GPS receiver (134) and inertial navigation unit (IMU) (136). The RF location unit (102) receives a synchronization command from the low accuracy timing infrastructure (106) and provides timing data representing range information in response thereto. The range information is used by the high accuracy timing infrastructure (180) to compute updated X, Y, Z coordinates of the PTD (120).

Abstract: A communication device provides for a hardware configurable module interface port by using a programmable logic device (108). The programmable logic device (108) is reconfigured using software stored in memory (106). The reconfiguration of programmable logic device (108) depends on the type of module (110) that is attached to the communication device. Since data translation is not required to be performed by each of the different types of modules that can be attached to the communication device, the time to develop a module is shortened and support circuitry requirements to perform data translation is reduced.

Abstract: A battery pack (304) and battery charging system (300, 400) provides contactless dynamic battery parameter sensing. A proximity sensor (208) is located in the battery pack (304) to monitor battery parameter measurements taken by battery parameter sensors (206). These battery parameter measurements are transferred to a charger (302) or radio (404) through a wireless link established between an excitation circuit, proximity sensor, and reader. The dynamically measured battery parameter information allows a charger (302) or radio (404) to select or adapt a charging routine based on the battery measurements. The use of a proximity sensor (208) along with battery parameter sensors (206) allow for minimal interface contacts between the radio and charger as well as the radio and battery.

Abstract: A radio configured to dynamically control cancellation of undesired signals in an audio stream. The radio includes a noise cancellation processor configured to receive an audio stream from a user and to alter information in the audio stream by filtering out undesired signals in the audio stream. The radio also includes a receiving component configured to receive a data packet from a remote device, to retrieve configuration information from the data packet, and to dynamically apply the configuration information, while the radio is being used by a user, to settings associated with the noise cancellation processor. A dynamically enabled noise cancellation processor suppresses undesired signals associated with a subsequent incoming audio stream provided by the user and transmits at least one of an altered audio stream or an unaltered audio stream to the remote device.
