    Abstract: The present disclosure describes embodiments of driver circuit. The driver circuit includes a first impedance element electrically coupled to a first inverter circuit and a second impedance element electrically coupled to the first impedance element and a second inverter circuit. For a first encoding using the driver circuit, the first inverter circuit and the second inverter circuit are controlled such that a first current flows through the first and second impedance elements, the first current having a first value and a first direction. For a second encoding using the driver circuit, the first inverter circuit and the second inverter circuit are controlled such that a second current flows through the first and second impedance elements, the second current having a second value and a second direction. The first value is substantially the same as the second value and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

  • Patent number: 10966173
    Abstract: Accurate position capability can be quickly provided using a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). When associated with a WLAN, a wireless device can quickly determine its relative and/or coordinate position based on information provided by an access point in the WLAN. Before a wireless device disassociates with the access point, the WLAN can periodically provide time, location, and decoded GPS data to the wireless device. In this manner, the wireless device can significantly reduce the time to acquire the necessary GPS satellite data (i.e. on the order if seconds instead of minutes) to determine its coordinate position.

  • Patent number: 10114104
    Abstract: An indoor positioning system determines the location of a mobile device by comparing measured signal strengths to a database determined via offline calibration. Automated maintenance and repair of the database are facilitated by accurately characterizing indoor radio signal propagation. Systems and methods for updating a signal strength database are disclosed. In one variation, a computer-implemented method of discovering a new or moved wireless access point (AP) within an indoor environment involves flagging one of the wireless APs as the new or moved AP; determining a location of the new or moved AP using information from at least one of an installation log and an AP location solver; determining transmit strengths and estimated received signal strengths of signals transmitted from calibration reference points (RPs) to the AP using a spatially-dependent path-loss model; and adding the transmit strengths and estimated received signal strengths to the signal strength database.

  • Patent number: 9395441
    Abstract: GPS receivers obtain GPS navigation data from acquired GPS satellites and determine a position of the GPS receiver. However, the GPS receivers may not always be in view of the GPS satellites or may receive GPS signals that are too weak to decode. Moreover, assisted GPS techniques rely on the ability of the GPS receivers to connect to auxiliary channels to receive navigation data, which might not always be possible. Functionality for powerline-aided GPS can be implemented to provide the navigation data, with varying levels of accuracy via a powerline network, when the GPS satellites are not in view of the GPS receiver. Moreover, the GPS receiver can use the navigation data to determine the position of the GPS receiver and/or to synchronize a local clock in the GPS receiver. Receiving the navigation data can ensure that the GPS receiver has a fast time to first fix.
