Abstract: A GPS receiver architecture is disclosed having digital correlation processing in faster than real-time, which is achieved by storing signal samples into a memory in real-time at a first rate and reading packs of stored samples at a second higher rate. For mitigating cross-correlation interference from the strong signal to reception of weak ones, a group of compensator blocks is introduced. A method of interference waveform reproducing is disclosed that compensates influence of stronger signal over long coherent accumulation intervals, not complicating processing of the strong signal over shorter coherent accumulation intervals. Search bins corrupted by under-compensated interference are pre-calculated and discarded.

Abstract: A portable electronic target game is disclosed, including a playing field display, scoring displays and two sets of input keys to permit two players to simultaneously control the operation of the game. Each player may launch a projectile toward a moving ball in an effort to intercept it, causing the ball to move forward the opposing player. The ball is removed from play if it is captured by a player or if it lands in a pocket location on the playing field. The scoring includes bonus points and penalties for the various events. The motion of the ball is controlled in a pseudorandom manner in accordance with a predetermined probability matrix.
