Patent number: 9557421Abstract: A method for detecting a lane change by a moving vehicle is disclosed. In one embodiment, it is detected that a first heading of a moving vehicle has met a parameter defining a stable heading. It is then detected that a second heading of the moving vehicle has subsequently met a parameter defining an unstable heading. It is then detected that a third heading of the moving vehicle has subsequently met a parameter defining a stable heading within a pre-determined time parameter and that the third heading equals the first heading within a pre-defined margin. An indication is then generated that the moving vehicle has performed a lane change.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2014Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Trimble Inc.Inventor: James C Reynolds

Patent number: 5794174Abstract: A system for visually representing the location of an item on a television. In one embodiment, a user of the present system telephonically requests that a visual representation of the location of an item be transmitted from a telephone company and displayed on the user's television. In the present embodiment, the user's television is connected with the telephone company by a telephone line and a modem. Once the request is received at the telephone company, position information indicative of the location of the item is transmitted from the item to a receiver. The position information is then transmitted from the receiver to the telephone company. The acquired position information is then transmitted from the telephone company to the user's television. A visual representation of the position of the item is then displayed on the user's television.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1996Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Assignee: Trimble Navigation LimitedInventors: James M.
