Abstract: The disclosed embodiments are directed to detecting a user activity based on patterns in location data. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining, by a processor of a computing device, location data; detecting, by the processor, a pattern in the location data; determining, by the processor and based on the detected pattern, an activity associated with a mobile device; and adjusting, by the processor, one or more parameters of a location data filter configured to process the location data.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for determining a location from non-line-of-sight (NLOS) signals are described. A processor can determine that multipath interferences of a signal reaching a receiver through different paths that are close in lengths may be mistakenly interpreted as additional time shift, (e.g., additional time delay or, in some cases, time advance) of the signal in calculating a timing of the signal. The processor can determine the possible differences between path lengths and then determine an amount of the additional time shift. The processor can determine a shift correction to remove effects caused by the additional time delay from the timing calculation.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for determining and filtering potential outliers in RF signals used in radionavigation are described. A radionavigation subsystem of a mobile device can determine a first location estimate of the mobile device. The mobile device can determine a free direction from the first location estimate. The free direction can be a direction along which RF signals may cause greater position errors than RF signals from other directions may cause. The mobile device can determine a potential outlier among the received RF signals, the potential outlier being an RF signal from a signal source in the free direction. The mobile device can indicate to the radionavigation subsystem that a weight of the potential outlier shall be reduced when determining a second location estimate of the mobile device using the RF signals.

Abstract: A detonator system is provided for use with explosives that utilizes two subsystems. A first subsystem functions as a non-explosives based detonator, which does not contain any explosives. The second subsystem is an initiating subsystem, which includes an initiating pellet. To set off an explosive event, the non-energetics based detonator is coupled to the initiating subsystem and the non-energetics based detonator is commanded to provide a suitable signal to the initiating subsystem that is sufficient to function the initiating pellet. Further, the initiating subsystem can be integrated directly into an associated explosive such as a booster that has been configured to receive the initiator subsystem without changing the hazard class of the booster.
