  • Position tracking method and apparatus
    Patent number: 10288740
    Abstract: A portable position tracking apparatus including a power supply, a position sensor that receives signals and uses the signals to determine an absolute position of the apparatus, a trigger sensor that detects a trigger, and an electronic processing device in communication with the position and trigger sensor that monitors the power supply to determine an available power, determines the trigger in response to a signal from the trigger sensor, in response to detection of the trigger, uses the available power to control operation of the position sensor to thereby selectively determine the absolute position, and stores an indication of a position of the apparatus in a memory at least partially in accordance an absolute position.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 2, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 14, 2019
    Assignee: COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANISATION
    Inventors: Jiajun Liu, Philipp Sommer, Kun Zhao, Branislav Kusy, Raja Jurdak

  • System and methods of radio interference based localization in sensor networks
    Patent number: 7558583
    Abstract: A method for radio interference based sensor localization. In one embodiment, the method has the steps of creating an interference signal from a first transmitter and a second transmitter, measuring phase offsets of the interference signal received by a first receiver and a second receiver, respectively, and determining the locations of the first and second transmitters and the first and second receivers from the measured phase offsets.
