摘要： A global navigation satellite system receiver manufacturer provides functional extensibility to a global navigation satellite system receiver. An application programming interface to the receiver is provided. The interface is public, such as using pubically available software or pubically distributed instructions, for loading on applications or other extensions to the core functionality of the GPS receiver. Other programmers than the manufacturer may add applications to the GPS receiver, avoiding separate devices in a vehicle.

摘要： A system and method for compensating for changes in relative antenna attitude in a single-receiver position detection system, such as a differential carrier phase GPS system, utilizes sensor input to detect changes in the relative attitude of at least two antennas or an antenna positioner, such as an motorized actuator or operator, that orients or re-orients the antennas to a predetermined orientation. The changes in the detected relative carrier phase due to the right hand circular polarized nature of the carrier signals are thus corrected. In this way, the high positional accuracy associated with kinematic GPS systems, for example, can be achieved even when the system's antennas are not constrained by a common rigid body, for example.

摘要： A low-cost, solid-state position sensor system suitable for making precise code and carrier phase measurements in the L1 and L2 bands of GPS uses an ordinary, low-cost OEM card single-frequency carrier phase tracking C/A code receiver and includes low-cost hardware for sensing the L1 and L2 components of GPS carrier phase. Such measurements are suitable for general use in a variety of fields, including surveying. They are also of sufficient quality to be used in controlling heavy machinery, such as aircraft, farm tractors, and construction and mining equipment. A C/A code continuous tracking GPS receiver is used to produce GPS positioning fixes and real-time L1 carrier phase measurements. This C/A code receiver generates timing and reference information for a digital sampling component. This sampling component processes the L1 and L2 signals from the GPS signals in view. A digital signal processing component coupled to this sampling component processes the raw samples in synchronous, batch form including a step to precisely unwrap the P(Y) carrier phase to baseband. The receiver outputs synchronous, carrier phase measurements associated with each ranging source and signal observable. The synchronous raw carrier phase measurements from the continuous tracking C/A code receiver and the digital sampling component may be used to resolve the cycle ambiguities to each ranging source with respect to a reference station at a known location. Within a short interval typically tens of seconds from initial turn on, continuous, synchronous raw measurements are provided by the GPS receiver and processed into precise position fixes.

摘要： To reduce the number of processors and/or displays in mobile equipment, an operating system is emulated in one example. A primary operating system runs on a processor or uses a particular display. The emulated operating system shares the same processor and/or same display. The emulation allows use of applications drafted or written for different operating systems in a common or shared environment. As another example, a virtual terminal function is emulated on a particular device. The particular device interacts with additional sources of information for displaying images on a same display. Using emulated operating systems or virtual terminals, a navigation program is used in a vehicle. An additional program is run on the same processor or shares the same display in the same vehicle at substantially the same time.

摘要： A computerized system and method for structuring risk management and assist a financial institution quantify financial, legal, regulatory and reputational risk associated with opening accounts related to management of financial assets and investments and facilitate analysis and quantification of risk. An automated account opening risk management system receives information quantifying factors relating to financial, legal, regulatory and/or reputational risk. The information is utilized to generate a risk quotient or other rating based upon a weighting algorithm applied to the criteria. The risk quotient is indicative of risk associated with an account. The quotient can be monitored on account opening, periodically or during a transaction. A log or other stored history can be created to help mitigate adverse effects relating to a problematic account by demonstrating to regulatory bodies, shareholders, news media and other interested parties that corporate governance is being addressed through tangible risk management processes.
