Abstract: A method and apparatus for fast searching GNSS signals performed on a GNSS receiver includes the steps of receiving a signal having a known pseudo random noise code. State information of a code generator is stored when a pseudo random noise code is generated. Several NCO, including a Doppler NCO are used to search GNSS signal for several supposed Doppler’s simultaneously. A search window associated with the received signal is reviewed a first time to identify a source of the received signal. After it is determined if a source of the received signal can be identified, the state information is loaded into the code generator prior to reviewing the search window a second time etc. Search windows is shifting by all length PRN Code. The loading of state information allows sequential review of the search window without readjustment of a fast search module which speeds the process of analyzing the received signals.

Abstract: Typically, when a user switches sessions between devices, the user authenticates the sessions by providing user account information, password, and/or pin code input or other credentials. However, when the user is frequently switching sessions between devices, authenticating sessions may result in the user reducing or even stopping switching across mobile devices. Systems and methods according to this disclosure provide automatic session roaming across mobile devices using proximity authentication. Upon detecting an indication to initiate session roaming, the source device automatically roams the session on the source device to a target device based on a proximity of the source device to the target device. The session is handed off from the source device to the target device as an authenticated user session.

Abstract: To provide search capabilities in a process control system, a contextual knowledge repository is generated that organizes process plant-related data according to semantic relations between the process plant-related data and the process plant entities. When a user submits a process plant search query related to process plant entities within a process plant, search results are obtained by identifying a data set from the contextual knowledge repository which is responsive to the process plant search query. The search results are then presented on a user interface device based on the identified data set. To allow for searches to be performed by user interface devices external to the process plant, a data diode is disposed between a field-facing component and an edge-facing component of the process plant so that data flows from the field-facing component to the edge-facing component without flowing from the edge-facing component to the field-facing component.
