Abstract: A method, device and system for determining a receiver location using weak signal satellite transmissions. The invention involves a sequence of exchanges between an aiding source and a receiver that serve to provide aiding information to the receiver so that the receiver's location may be determined in the presence of weak satellite transmissions. With the aiding information, the novel receiver detects, acquires and tracks weak satellite signals and computes position solutions from calculated pseudo ranges despite the inability to extract time synchronization date from the weak satellite signals.

Abstract: Radiodirection finding method and apparatus using Doppler effect frequency modulation for measuring the bearing of a source transmitting a high frequency signal, wherein either on the reception side or on the transmission side, several antenna strands are used in pairs diametrically spaced from each other and spaced evenly apart angularly about a circumference. A first pair of diametrically spaced antenna strands are energized and then the next pair of diametrically spaced antenna strands in turn are selectively energized so as to create, at all times, a mobile fictitious antenna moving diametrically and alternately between the two diametrically opposite antenna strands of the particular pair of antenna strands considered. Different pairs of diametrically opposite antenna strands are successively energized in an angularly rotating sequence from the first pair of antenna strands.

Abstract: A polychromatic cathode ray tube includes a screen formed by a single layer of a crystalline semiconductor material which luminesces in visible light when excited by an electron beam. The color of luminescence is varied by modulating the heat energy imparted to the layer by the electron beam.
