Abstract: In some embodiments of the invention, a method for estimating parameters of an evolution model includes identifying an evolution model; obtaining a set of training data values, where each value in the set is associated with a parameter-of-interest (PoI) associated with the evolution model; obtaining a noise model representing noise affecting the output of the evolution model; obtaining a prior model that represents prior information on characteristics of the parameter-of-interest; constructing a loss function for a neural network, where the loss function incorporates the set of training data values, the evolution model, the noise model, and the prior model; and training the neural network with the loss function to obtain updated weights.

Abstract: A method and system for distributing content in a real-time interactive environment to one or more computing devices configured to include, via a graphical user interface (GUI), an editor to display, arrange, edit, debug, and interpret, run, execute, or compile code provided within the editor, and then output result feedback to the user via the GUI, the code being modifiable text or a plurality of arrangeable visual objects within the GUI, and the editor being configured to include an integrated development environment (IDE) to edit, interpret and run code within the real-time interactive environment, the IDE further configured to provide visual cues to assist in viewing, arranging, and editing the code.

Abstract: A wireless GNSS receiver, for example a Bluetooth® receiver, including a bidirectional link to the host, and an update client, for downloading extended ephemeris data from the host, by the Bluetooth® link. The invention reuses the protocol used for NMEA data transfer, in order to send the extended ephemeris data up to the receiver. Hence, the extended ephemeris data can be sent without having to instantiate any other type of connection to the receiver. The invention reduces the cost and complexity of BT-GPS receivers that want to make use of extended ephemeris technology in order to reduce the time to first fix of GPS receivers left off for more than four hours.

Abstract: A system for remotely updating software on at least one electronic device connected to a network. The electronic devices have a non-volatile rewritable storage unit divided into at least two partitions, one of which will contain core firmware and the other of which will contain auxiliary software. When an update is received at the device, the updated core firmware is written to overwrite the partition in the rewritable storage unit that contained the auxiliary software. When this is completed and verified, the previous version of the core firmware stored in the storage unit is disabled from execution by the device. Next, the updated auxiliary software is written to overwrite the old version of the core firmware. When this write is complete, the device determines a suitable time for it to be rebooted to execute the updated software. In another embodiment, the present core firmware in the device is copied from the partition it is in to the other partition, overwriting the auxiliary software stored there.
