Um eine Vorrichtung (100) zum Nachverfolgen einer geografischen Position eines Gegenstandes (31) und/oder eines Lebewesens, wobei die Vorrichtung (100) an oder in dem Gegenstand (31) und/oder dem Lebewesen anbringbar, angebracht oder angeordnet ist, modulartig und besonders flexibel auszugestalten, wird vorgeschlagen, dass das jeweils mindestens eine mechanische Verbindungsmittel (15) eines ersten Gehäuses (12) und eines zweiten Gehäuses (13) bajonettartig ausgebildet ist, derart, dass die mechanische und elektrische Verbindung der Module durch ein Aufeinandersetzen der beiden Gehäuse (12, 13) in einer ersten Position und eine anschließende Drehbewegung der beiden Gehäuse (12, 13) relativ zueinander in eine zweite Position hergestellt werden.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify that an uplink transmission to a base station is to occur in accordance with an uplink timing advance value representing an amount of time that the uplink transmission takes from transmission at the UE to reception at the base station. The UE may perform an autonomous open-loop adjustment to the uplink timing advance value. The UE may transmit the uplink transmission to the base station in accordance with the adjusted uplink timing advance value. The base station may transmit an indication of a set of uplink timing advance values for a UE to use for uplink transmissions, each of the set of uplink timing advance values representing an amount of time that an uplink transmission is expected to take from transmission at the UE to reception at the base station.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to delivering merchandise using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In some embodiments, there is provided a system including: a UAV having a motorized flight system, a storage area, a transceiver, an imaging, and a GPS tracking device; a memory device for storing position coordinates of the UAV; a flight simulator database including storing geographic and landscape features along the UAVs flight path; and a control circuit configured to: navigate the UAV using GPS, store position coordinates, capture image sequences of the geographic and landscape features, and if the GPS fails to provide accurate position information, communicate with the flight simulator database, calculate a predicted position for the UAV, compare the image sequences with images from the flight simulator database, and determine the actual position of the UAV if individual images in the image sequences match images from the flight simulator database.
Abstract:
The invention concerned a trackable golf ball (10) and a golf ball locating device (30). The locating device has a receiver configured to receive an electromagnetic signal from the golf ball and to determine from the received signal a distance and direction from the locating device to the golf ball. lt further provides and a display (32) giving an indication of the said distance and direction to a user. The locating device is configured to determine whether the distance is below a predetermined value.
Abstract:
A mobile transceiver for asset tracking having route monitoring and method of operation are provided. In one aspect, the method comprises: determining a location of the mobile transceiver using the satellite receiver; determining whether the determined location deviates from a planned route; and sending an alert to an asset tracking service when the determined location deviates from the planned route.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un procédé pour localiser un objet d'intérêt depuis un serveur de géolocalisation, ce procédé comprenant les étapes suivantes: - utilisation d'une balise émettant de façon périodique et unidirectionnelle un identifiant universel unique par liaison radio et avec une portée limitée à quelques dizaines de mètres, cette balise étant attachée à l'objet d'intérêt, - détection de l'identifiant universel unique par au moins un appareil configuré pour détecter un tel identifiant et pour être géolocalisé par le serveur de géolocalisation. Selon l'invention, le procédé comprend en outre les étapes suivantes: - transmission de données depuis ledit appareil vers le serveur de géolocalisation, ces données comprenant au moins l'identifiant de l'appareil, les informations relatives à la géolocalisation de l'appareil, et l'identifiant universel unique de la balise détectée, - géolocalisation de la balise à partir des données transmises par ledit au moins un appareil.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices for determining a more precise location of a fixed wireless device and providing an enhanced location based service (eLBS). A fixed wireless device may be configured to determine its approximate location (e.g., a current location waypoint, etc.), communicate with other fixed or mobile wireless devices to receive location information, and determine a more precise location of the fixed wireless device based on the approximate location and the received location information. The fixed wireless device may use the computed location information to provide a location based service and/or send the more precise location to another wireless device for use in providing a location based service.

Le support peut être un harnais ou une veste.
Abstract:
Devices and methods for generating locational and other pertinent information from a tracking device associated with an asset in need of tracking during a tracking event and for selectively retaining and deleting information stored during a loss of communication between the tracking device and a communication network, to increase probability of retaining information suitable for use as evidence in court or other proceedings in which accurate information is desired regarding the tracking event.
Abstract:
A device and method for monitoring the health of an animal using multiple sensors is described. The wearable device may include one or more sensors whose resultant signal levels may be analyzed in the wearable device or uploaded to a data management server for additional analysis. One or more embodiments include variations of the ultra wide band, UWB, system to detect certain states in animals, whereby a method for scheduling or attempting transmissions between the wearable device and the data management server is applied in such a way as to increase the likelihood of a successful transmission.
