  • Patent number: 7012403
    Abstract: A charger with a replaceable signal for a car includes a casing and a circuit board. The casing is provided with a current taking plug at a lateral side thereof. The circuit board is disposed in the casing and electrically connected to the current taking plug for rectifying and transformed an input power. It is characterized in that the casing at a proper position thereof is provided with a signal socket to electrically connect with the circuit board and a stopper being located therein; a signal line at an end thereof has a signal plug being detachably inserted into the signal socket and the stopper has an engaging piece for engaging with the signal plug and allowing the signal line fixedly joined to the casing laterally and the signal line at a another end thereof has a connector. Once the connector of the signal line is connected to an output/input port of a personal electric product and the current taking plug is inserted to a lighter device in a car, a recharging circuit can be performed.

  • Patent number: 6999026
    Abstract: A system 10 which is adapted to receive global positioning signals 14 from a satellite assembly 12 and which determines, displays, and selectively disseminates that error associated with the received signals to selected users at selected locations and at selected times. The system 10 also provides several other applications, including but not limited to the acquisition and selectively display of selective weather information, physical attributes of a facility, such as an airport, time distribution, collection and dissemination of user information as well as allowing one to simulate the performance of a global positioning acquisition and dissemination system. Such a simulation allows a user to dynamically specify the location and movement of signal generating satellites, the location of the various ground or reception stations, and to display certain other attributes or desired system characteristics.

  • Patent number: 6947755
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods to locate and recover objects equipped with tracking devices by determining the location information of the object. The system employs multiple radio direction finding (RDF) devices, which is capable of determining the angle of arrival of a radio signal. The MSC sends a request along with radio information to a location processor, which controls the RDF devices. The system also employs a theft detection device, which is capable of placing a wireless telephone call to a monitoring center. The theft detection device connects to and receives instructions from the monitoring center, which retrieves the instructions from a primary database server. If the primary database server is unavailable, the request for information is sent to a secondary database server.

  • Patent number: 6934548
    Abstract: Systems and methods to determine the location information of an emergency call made from a radiotelephone. The system employs multiple radio direction finding (RDF) devices, which is capable of determining the angle of arrival of a radio signal. The MSC sends a request along with radio information to a location processor, which controls RDF devices. The location processor sets up each RDF device to track the radio signal. If at least two RDF devices are successful in tracking the radio signals and returning information about the radio signal, then the location processor can determine the location of the radiotelephone by using a triangulation method.
