Abstract: A system and method for deterring the theft of a marine battery pack used to power a marine propulsion system, such as an outboard motor. The marine battery pack includes an internal communication system that allows the battery pack to communicate with an authentication device. The battery pack communicates an authentication request to the authentication device. If the battery pack is associated with the authentication device, a confirmation is communicated to the marine battery pack and the marine battery pack operates in a normal manner. If confirmation is not received from an authentication device, the operation of the marine battery pack is modified from the normal condition. The modification of the operation of the battery pack renders the battery pack unusable to deter theft. Each battery pack may be associated with more than one authentication device and each authentication device may be associated with more than one battery pack.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods and systems for performing physical measurements using radio frequency (RF) signals. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method is disclosed for determining the distance between a first radio device and a second radio device. The method includes transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal from the first radio device and receiving the RF signal by the second radio device. The method further includes a determining a carrier frequency of the RF signal and determining a slope of a carrier phase versus the carrier frequency corresponding to a rate of change of the carrier phase with the carrier frequency. The method also includes determining a physical distance between the first radio device and the second radio device based on the slope; wherein the physical distance is proportional to the slope plus an integer ambiguity term and a bias term.

Abstract: A park-aid system for a vehicle includes a forward-viewing color video camera and at least three other color video cameras, with a first one of the three other color video cameras having a field of view at the driver-side of the vehicle and a second one of the three other color video cameras having a field of view at the passenger-side of the vehicle. A video display screen is viewable by a driver of the vehicle. During a parking maneuver of the vehicle, images derived, at least in part, from image data captured by at least the forward-viewing camera are displayed by the video display screen to assist the driver in operating the vehicle. At least one indication may be provided to the driver of the vehicle during the parking maneuver.

Abstract: A geolocation system includes an originator device configured to transmit a first wireless signal to a transponder device. The transponder device is configured to transmit a second wireless signal to the originator device. The system includes at least one observer device configured to receive the first wireless signal from the originator device and receive the second wireless signal from the transponder device. The system also includes a first processor configured to calculate a transactional difference range at the at least one observer device based on the first wireless signal received at the observer device and the second wireless signal received at the observer device. A corrected transactional difference range value may be calculated by subtracting a time-of-flight of the first wireless signal from the originator device to the transponder device from the transactional difference range. A method of performing geolocation using a transactional difference range is also disclosed.
