  • Patent number: 11933905
    Abstract: A method is provided that may include receiving a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal for a moving vehicle and obtaining a position estimation of the vehicle by inputting values of observable characteristics into an artificial intelligence (AI)-based model and receiving the position estimation as an output from the AI-based model. The AI-based model applies different coefficients to the values of the observable characteristics to output the position estimation. The method may also include calculating an error between a location derived from the GNSS signal that may be received and the position estimation obtained from the AI-based model, and changing one or more of the coefficients applied to the observable characteristics in the AI-based model based on the error that is calculated.

  • Publication number: 20040192217
    Abstract: An apparatus integrating all of the major base band components required for transmitting and receiving DVB-S signals into a portable package. The apparatus consists of a means for encoding various forms of video signals, voice, as well as IP data. Video signals that have been encoded to a standard form can be encapsulated into Transport Stream packets as a time division multiplexed signal for transmission to a modulator. The apparatus is bi-directional, and provides for demodulation and decoding of signals so encoded. The invention also includes means for assigning Quality of Service parameters, as well as a real-time sampling and analysis of the video information being transmitted.
