  • Method and system for implementing navigation using bounded geographic regions
    Patent number: 9591442
    Abstract: A method and system for creating Bounded Geographic Regions (“BGRs”) in a navigation system using BGRs is presented. Various methods for creating BGRs are disclosed. Additionally, the implications of minimizing the area of a BGR is discussed and disclosed. The method and system allows for easier convergence for creation of BGRs.

  • Linear interleaved magnetic motor and loudspeaker transducer using same
    Patent number: 8774430
    Abstract: A linear interleaved magnetic motor in which the B-field flows between a plurality of motor cell elements, creating a long, serpentine gap. The motor is used with at least one flex circuit as a drive coil. The motor can be used as a drive motor for a loudspeaker transducer. Multiple loudspeaker transducers can be connected together to make a loudspeaker frame or system.

  • Method and system for navigation using bounded geographic regions
    Patent number: RE47107
    Abstract: A navigation system containing a software core, which uses bounded geographic regions (“BGRs”) and Node Pairs to explicitly optimize, in two dimensions, for user desired dependent variables, by analyzing variance due to standard and user-defined independent variables. The invention stores Node Pair data, and can use error function, feedback, and ANOVA/MANOVA to create a tightly convergent navigation solution.
