  • SATELLITE-BASED SOURCE OF POSITIONING SYSTEM-INDEPENDENT POSITION NAVIGATION AND TIME
    Publication number: 20230194727
    Abstract: For global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-independent operation of auxiliary PNT systems, one or more ground stations of the auxiliary system have access to a non-GNSS source of precision timing. That source and known locations of the ground stations may be used to derive timing corrections to account for imperfect clocks in the satellites for non-purpose-built satellite systems being used for PNT. Crosslinks between satellites and/or propagation of timing correction through other ground stations are used to better control the timing and resulting precession of PNT in the PNT auxiliary system. The timing correction may be provided as a service to end users, other constellations, and/or other satellite operators.

  • Database methods and apparatus
    Patent number: 9063988
    Abstract: An apparatus having a computer-implemented database controller module, a computer-implemented database module, and a computer-implemented database query module. Software and/or firmware that is/are included in computer-implemented database controller module is/are configured to enter baseline data into the computer-implemented database module and to enter changes into the computer-implemented database module using an extensible multidimensional effectivity method of recording only an indicated change with its effectivity parameters. The computer-implemented database query module is configured to retrieve answers to queries relating to the baseline data and the changes and to return the answers in response to the queries.
