  • Publication number: 20250168812
    Abstract: A method for precision finding with two radio technologies includes: determining a first distance to a wireless node based at least in part on a first positioning technology having a capability of determining distances to objects within a first range; determining, based on the first distance being within a second range, a second distance to the wireless node based on a second positioning technology having a capability of determining distances to objects up to the second range, wherein the second range is less than the first range; and outputting location information for the wireless node based at least in part on the second distance.

  • Patent number: 11501633
    Abstract: In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, a control system is provided for controlling electronic devices, the control system comprising: an ultra-wideband communication unit configured to receive ultra-wideband signals from the electronic devices, and a processing unit configured to select a specific electronic device among said electronic devices for further communication, wherein the processing unit is configured to select said specific electronic device using an angle of arrival of the ultra-wideband signals received from the electronic devices. In accordance with a second aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding control method for controlling electronic devices is conceived. In accordance with a third aspect of the present disclosure, a computer program is provided, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a control system for controlling electronic devices, cause said control system to carry out or control a method of the kind set forth.

  • Patent number: 11057742
    Abstract: A method for facilitating a relative position determination is disclosed, comprising: a first radio frequency (RF) communication device measures a first angle of arrival, being an angle of arrival of a first RF signal received from a second RF communication device; the first RF communication device senses its orientation at a first time, resulting in a first orientation; the first RF communication device measures a second angle of arrival, being an angle of arrival of a second RF signal received from the second RF communication device; the first RF communication device senses its orientation at a second time, resulting in a second orientation; the relative position of the second RF communication device with respect to the first RF communication device is determined using a difference between the first angle of arrival and the second angle of arrival and a difference between the first orientation and the second orientation.

  • Publication number: 20040142233
    Abstract: Battery holder (100) consists of elastic bands (106a, 106b, 106c, 106d) and battery support plates (105a, 105b) on which terminal contacts (102a, 102b) are affixed. Battery (90) is inserted into said battery holder (100) between the battery support plates (105a and 105b) and held by elastic bands (106a, 106b, 106c, 106d) so that a negative battery electrode (109a) mates a negative terminal contact (102a) and a positive battery electrode (109b) mates a positive terminal contact (102b). The battery's position expands the elastic bands and, therefore, exerts tension between the battery support plates (105a, 105b) and the battery (90) so that the expanded battery holder maintains proper contact between the battery electrodes (109a, 109b) and the terminal contacts (102a, 102b).
