摘要:
A method in a mobile satellite positioning system receiver operating in cold-start mode, including searching for and detecting (310) a first satellite in a constellation of orbiting satellites, searching (320) for a second satellite based on detection probability information for non-detected satellites, the detection probability information obtained using information about one of satellites not detected or the first satellite detected. In one embodiment, the detection probability information is based on a measure of range between the non-detected satellites and the first satellite detected, and in another embodiment the detection probability information is based on a measure of angle between the non-detected satellites and the first satellite detected.

Kilns for processing ceramics and methods for using such kilns are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a kiln includes an inner body configured to hold one or more ceramic workpieces for processing. The kiln can also include an outer body at least partially surrounding the inner body and spaced apart from the inner body to define an airflow passageway therebetween. The airflow passageway includes an inlet proximate to an upper portion of the outer body and an outlet proximate to a lower portion of the outer body. The kiln can further include an air mover positioned to move air through the airflow passageway from the inlet toward the outlet. In several embodiments, the kiln can additionally include a lid assembly pivotably coupled to the outer body and configured to sealably close against at least the inner body.

Irrigation and/or aspiration devices and methods may be configured to aspirate and irrigate alone, sequentially, or concurrently. The devices and methods may provide a base with a removable head, and adapted for partial or complete separation of the irrigation and aspiration functions. The devices and methods can be configured to aspirate and/or irrigate the nasal and sinus cavities. The devices and methods may be manually and/or automatically controlled. The devices and methods may include removable, and/or replaceable, and/or refillable, and easily cleanable reservoirs for aspirant and irrigant. The device head and/or aspirant reservoir may comprise a diagnostic device, i.e., test device and/or container after use of the devices and methods.

摘要:
A satellite positioning system receiver programmed to determine information for a satellite using ephemeris data (710), determine information for the same satellite using almanac data (722), which may have been previously stored on the receiver, to determine an error between the satellite information determined from the ephemeris data and the satellite information determined from the stored almanac data (730), and to update the stored almanac data based upon the error (734).
摘要:
A reconfigurable downconverter (10) for a multi-band positioning receiver is operable with an RF synthesizer (18) with fixed output frequency, and a fixed wideband RF input (28). The downconverter (10) includes an RF mixer (12) operable to accept a range of frequencies that encompass the GPS and Galileo frequency bands and to output a downconverted IF signal (32). A fixed frequency local oscillator signal (34) is coupled to the RF mixer (12). At least one IF processor 14 further downconverts the downconverted IF signal (32) to at least one baseband signal (22). At least one of the IF processors (14) is reconfigurable for different frequency bands.

A method (200) and apparatus (900) for correcting frequency errors of received signals in a wireless communication receiver are disclosed. The wireless communication device (900) receives (204) a signal; correlates (206) the received signal with the plurality of offset prestored data sets; generates (208) at a predetermined data rate interval a plurality of signal correlations where each of the plurality of correlations is correlated to each of the plurality of offset prestored data sets; and computes (210) a frequency error estimate based upon the plurality of signal correlations.
