20110037650 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION IN GNSS RECEIVERS - Systems and methods are disclosed herein to use what is referred to as adaptive continuous tracking (ACT) to reduce the power consumption of GNSS receivers. In GNSS receivers, performance as measured by position accuracy is a function of the observation time of the satellites. A longer observation time translates into more reliable range measurements and demodulated data, and ultimately into better positioning accuracy of the receivers. However, a longer observation time also means more power consumption. ACT allows satellite observation time to be tuned to the desired positioning performance by dynamically adjusting the on time period of the receivers while maintaining a minimum performance metric. The performance metric may be formed from a combination of the estimated position error, the horizontal dilution of precision (HDOP), the data collection state, and the receiver operating environment as characterized by the carrier to noise ratio (CN0). ACT cyclically switches on/off the radio frequency (RF) front-end and also cyclically enables/disables the baseband hardware of the receivers to reduce power consumption while allowing the receivers to meet the minimum performance metric and ensuring continuous satellite tracking, continuous positioning fix operation, multiplexed GNSS operation, and continuous data collection. | 2011-02-17 |

20110037730 | TOUCH PANEL AND TOUCH DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING THE SAME - A touch panel including a light guide plate, a plurality of light sources and a plurality of detectors is provided. The light guide plate has a top surface, a bottom surface, a plurality of side surfaces and a plurality of light incident surfaces. The light sources are disposed at the light incident surfaces of the light guide plate, and the light sources have a photocell total reflection angle (α) and a photocell vertical divergence angle (β) corresponding to the light incident surfaces of the light guide plate, wherein θ<α<60°, θ is a critical angle of the total reflection angle of the light guide plate, and β<50°. The detectors are disposed corresponding to the light sources so as to receive photocell signals from the light sources. | 2011-02-17 |
