Patents by Inventor George Papanagopoulos

George Papanagopoulos has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7239975
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for an innovative design of the automatic stabilization and pointing control of a device based on the MEMS technology, which is small enough and has acceptable accuracy to be integrated into many application systems, such as, laser pointing systems, telescopic systems, imaging systems, and optical communication systems. The stabilization mechanism configuration design is based on utilization of AGNC commercial products, the coremicro IMU and the coremicro AHRS/INS/GPS Integration Unit. The coremicro AHRS/INS/GPS Integration Unit is used as the processing platform core for the design of the MEMS coremicro IMU based stabilization mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20050231425
    Abstract: A networked position multiple tracking system includes a plurality of individual units which are networked multi-tracking devices networked and their location information is shared via a data link. The individual units are organized as groups and groups are further networked to facilitate the data transfer in a large area or different geographical areas. The typical applications of the present invention include tracking of family members; tracking of cab vehicles of a taxi company; tracking of law enforcement officials pursuing criminals or suspects. In a military environment, the soldiers in a regiment can track each other during military missions by using the present invention. The pilots of aircraft in a formation can use the multi-tracking system to maintain formation flight and evade potential collision.
