Publication number: 20160334493Abstract: Techniques for allowing a remote receiver (such as a small cell) to derive a precise time reference (such as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)) when the remote receiver is not able to derive time directly from received GPS signals. The remote receiver receives LORAN signals from a LORAN station and determines the propagation time from the LORAN station to the remote receiver. The remote receiver derives a precise time reference from the received LORAN signals and the propagation time. The remote receiver may receive additional timing information from a reference station.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2016Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventors: RICHARD M. LEE, ERIC DERBEZ

Patent number: 9485745Abstract: Location of one or more devices in a monitored environment based at least in part on data communications between a device and a communication array disposed relative to the monitored environment. The communication array may include a plurality of nodes, at least two of which may be in operative communication with a mobile device. The plurality of nodes may be synchronized to a common time base with communications over a packet-switched communication network (e.g., employing IP communications or the like). In turn, communications between nodes of known location and a device may be used to determine ranging values at least in part based on characteristics (e.g., time of flight) of the communication. As such, a location may be determined by, for example, multilateration of a plurality of ranging values.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: iPosi, Inc.Inventors: Chris Kurby, Richard M. Lee

Publication number: 20160259060Abstract: A GNSS cooperative receiver system that can be utilized when one or more GNSS receivers is in a compromised position where it cannot receive direct signals from a sufficient number of GNSS satellites. This may in the interior of an office building or multi-dwelling unit, which may be in the vicinity of other tall buildings. The receivers determine their relative positions from one of various ranging techniques, and then with this relative position information, pseudoranges, and correlation values from the various GNSS receivers, the best GNSS solution can be determined for the group of cooperative receivers. This could include two or more receivers in a group. There also related techniques for one receiver to be a designated, remote anchor for other GNSS receivers that need such assistance.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2015Publication date: September 8, 2016Inventors: CHRISTOPHER NEIL KURBY, RICHARD M. LEE, ERIC DERBEZ

Patent number: 9319519Abstract: A method and system for precise position determination of general Internet Protocol (IP) network-connected devices. A method enables use of remote intelligence located at strategic network points to distribute relevant assistance data to IP devices with embedded receivers. Assistance is tailored to provide physical timing, frequency and real time signal status data using general broadband communication protocols. Relevant assistance data enables several complementary forms of signal processing gain critical to acquire and measure weakened or distorted in-building Global Navigation Satellite Services (GNSS) signals and to ultimately extract corresponding pseudo-range time components. A method to assemble sets of GNSS measurements that are observed over long periods of time while using standard satellite navigation methods, and once compiled, convert using standard methods each pseudo-range into usable path distances used to calculate a precise geographic position to a known degree of accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2014Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: iPosi, Inc.Inventors: Richard M.

Patent number: 9100814Abstract: A content descriptor is received at a download server on a network from a remote content server, which is coupled to the download server through a computer network. The content descriptor is indicative of a selection by a user transmitted from a wireless client device to the remote content server and relating to a digital product hosted by the remote content server. The content descriptor is used by the download server to obtain the digital product from the remote content server. The digital product is then downloaded from the download server to the wireless client device via a wireless network. The content descriptor may include information such as a reference for use by the download server in locating the digital product, information describing the digital product, price information relating to the digital product, and/or information specifying a licensee of the digital product.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2004Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: UNWIRED PLANT, LLCInventors: Rikard M.

Patent number: 8700204Abstract: A system for easily locating goods stored in a storage area including a computer coupled with a radio frequency transmitter or transceivers and goods placed in containers that are coupled to hangers that each has distinct electronic addresses. The hangers each have a hook that allows the hangers to be stored on rails coupled to racks in a storage area. The identifications of the goods and the electronic addresses for the corresponding hangers are associated with each other and stored on a computer database. When a user wants to pick up goods stored in the containers, the user inputs the identification for the goods and the computer will cause the radio frequency transmitter to emit a data packet that includes a search address and illumination data. The hangers each compare the search address to the electronic address and if there is a match, the hanger illuminates the light according to the illumination data.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Maxor National Pharmacy Services Corp.Inventors: Kevin C.
