  • Publication number: 20230228850
    Abstract: The receiver captures an electromagnetic transmission carrying a bauded signal, such as a transmission from an orbiting satellite, and processes it for Doppler shift analysis. The electromagnetic transmission is captured and a non-linear operation is performed to expose a cyclostationary feature of the captured transmission that will define a rate-line. This rate-line will exist at a frequency that is related to the bauded signal and Doppler shift relative to the motion of the transmitter to the receiver. The rate-line frequency is tracked in time to generate data indicative of a Doppler shift associated with the satellite and processed by an estimator fed by satellite propagator to supply positioning, navigation and timing services at the receiver output.

  • Patent number: 11635874
    Abstract: Methods for pen-specific user interface controls are performed by systems and devices. Users activate pen-specific menus at user devices by activating controls of a touch pen such as a tail button. A communication is received by a device, from a touch pen, that indicates an activation control of the touch pen has been physically activated. The user device selects a touch pen menu that includes selectable menu options for respective launching of separate pen applications from among available menus based at least on the received communication. The device determines menu presentation information specifying a location within a user interface (UI) from a state of the UI at a time associated with the communication. The touch pen menu is displayed via the UI according to the menu presentation information. A detection for selection of a selectable menu option causes the device to launch a pen application associated therewith.
