Publication number: 20220365223Abstract: In an embodiment, a method monitors, within a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) limited zone, an intra-zone location of a vehicle having a GNSS receiver, the intra-zone location being within the limited zone. The method determines a simulated intra-zone location of the vehicle based on the intra-zone location monitored to calculate a likely location of the vehicle. The method calculates a global location of the vehicle based on the intra-zone location and the location of the GNSS limited zone within a global network of limited zones. The method broadcasts, from a transmitter within the GNSS limited zone, a GNSS signal representing the global location of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Matthew T.

Patent number: 10199718Abstract: An antenna may be formed from a peripheral conductive housing structure in an electronic device that is separated from an antenna ground by a gap. An antenna feed may be formed from a metal trace on a flexible printed circuit that spans the gap. The metal trace may have a line segment that joins a wider pad portion of the trace at a junction. A stiffener on the flexible printed circuit may have a protrusion that overlaps the junction. A metal bracket attached to the peripheral housing structure may be soldered to the pad. A metal member with meandering paths may form a return path in the antenna. The meandering path may have parallel segments that extend along an inner surface of the peripheral conductive housing structure to prevent the metal member from rotating when a screw is used to screw the metal member to the peripheral conductive housing structure.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2015Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Sammy M.
