Patent number: 11112507Abstract: A method may be executed by a base station or mobile device to improve accuracy of a global positioning system (GPS)-based position or “geoposition” of the mobile device. A time-stamped first set of GPS data may be received via a GPS receiver, e.g., of the base station. A second set of GPS data describing a geoposition of the mobile device is received from the mobile device by the base station. A time of collection of the base station and mobile device GPS data coincides. The GPS data includes code phase and pseudo-range data from each of the GPS satellites, and may include carrier phase data. A predetermined GPS position correction technique is used to generate a corrected geoposition of the mobile device using the GPS data. The corrected geoposition is then transmitted to the mobile device and/or an external response system such as a drone or first responder.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS REPRESENTED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR OF NASAInventor: Evan T.

Patent number: 11063629Abstract: Various embodiments include techniques for detecting a poor-quality cable associated with a wired communications channel that is causing noise that interferes with a wireless communications channel. The techniques are directed towards a test that a processor performs when the cable is installed in a user system. A wireless test application, executing on one or more processors of the system, determines a noise floor for the wireless communications channel when the wired communications channel is disabled. The wireless test application determines the noise power for the wireless communications channel when the wired communications channel is enabled, thereby causing interference in the wireless communications channel. The wireless test application compares the noise power to the noise floor in order to determine whether the cable is a high-quality cable or a low-quality cable.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2020Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Srirama Bhupatiraju, Tom Winton

Patent number: 11057061Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for simultaneously operating as a wireless radio and monitoring the local frequency spectrum. For example, described herein are wireless radio devices that use a secondary receiver to monitor frequencies within the operating band and prevent or avoid interferers, including in particular half-IF interferers. The systems, devices, and methods described herein may adjust the intermediate frequency in a superheterodyne receiver to select an intermediate frequency that minimizes interference. In particular, described herein are apparatuses and methods that use a second receiver which is independent of the first receiver and may be connected to the same receiving antenna to monitor the geographically local frequency spectrum and may detect spurious interferers, allowing the primary receiver to adjust the intermediate frequency and avoid spurious interferes.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: UBIQUITI INC.Inventors: Lance D.
