20090274113 | Channel Allocation for Burst Transmission to a Diversity of Satellites - A method for allocating transmission channels to devices configured to communicate short data packets to a diversity of non geostationary satellites is disclosed hereby. The method suggests a dynamic cellular partitioning of the earth surface, based on the smallest intersections of overlapping satellite service areas (“footprints”), defined as mega-cells, and reusing channels in different mega-cells. In addition, a transmission cycle is defined and divided to time slots, synchronized at each device by GPS timing signals, and mega-cells served by more satellites are allocated with fewer time slots, in order to increase the chance of transmitters placed in mega-cells served by fewer satellites to be detected. Further, each mega-cell is divided to cells, and different channels and time slots are allocated to each cell, from those allocated to the corresponding mega-cell. Consequently, collision of transmissions from different mega-cells is reduced, and collision of transmissions from different cells in a mega-cell is avoided. | 11-05-2009 |
20130002484 | INDOOR NAVIGATION WITH GNSS RECEIVERS - Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as the US GPS, the European GALILEO and the Russian GLONASS, are based on a mathematical concept known in the art as “three dimensional Trilateration”, where a point is determined by its distances from three other points. The point we wish to determine is the position of a GNSS receiver, typically located by the earth surface, in a car or onboard a ship or aircraft or carried by a person, while the other points are satellites orbiting around the earth. The distances between the satellites and the receiver are estimated by measuring the travelling time of signals transmitted from the satellites, at the speed of light, until arriving at the receiver. Typically, an unobstructed line of sight is required between GNSS satellites and the receiver, for a GNSS receiver to detect these signals and determine its position. Thus, a GNSS receiver located indoors, e.g. inside a concrete building, tunnel or basement, usually cannot determine its position based only on signals transmitted by the satellites. The present invention discloses a method for indoor navigation with GNSS receivers, based on or augmented by signals broadcast by local transmitters, also known as Pseudolites (“pseudo-satellites”). This task is not straightforward since GNSS receivers are designed to monitor satellites orbiting in space around the center of the earth, while pseudolites are typically deployed on the surface of the earth, thus continuously rotate around the earth axis, so unless placed on the equator, these pseudolites do not orbit around the center of the earth, so not easily can emulate GNSS satellites. | 01-03-2013 |
20130099962 | INDOOR ALTITUDE MEASURMENT BY GNSS RECEIVER - Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as the US GPS, the European GALILEO and the Russian GLONASS are very limited indoors, due to very low power levels and significant multipath. So, though hundreds of millions of people around the world use GPS receivers, particularly embedded in mobile devices, they cannot use these devices indoors, where they stay most of the time. Present art methods for augmenting or assisting GPS indoors, are mainly based on cellular or WLAN networks, and embedded sensors such as accelerometers and compasses, yet no integrated solution was launched. The present invention discloses a method that may contribute to GNSS indoors navigation, enabling a GNSS receiver to measure its elevation above sea level, indoors, to a floor resolution.

20110088396 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATING A SOLAR STEAM SYSTEM - Methods, apparatus and systems for operating a solar steam system in response to a detected or predicted reduced or impending reduced insolation event are disclosed herein. Examples of transient reduced insolation events include but are not limited to cloud-induced reduction in insolation, dust-induced reduction in insolation, and insolation events caused by solar eclipses. In some embodiments, in response to the detecting or predicting, steam flow is regulated within the solar steam system to reduce a flow rate into a steam turbine. Alternatively or additionally, one or more heliostats may be responsively redirected onto a steam superheater or steam re-heater. | 04-21-2011 |

20120227401 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPERATING A SOLAR STEAM SYSTEM - The disclosed subject matter relates to methods and systems for operating a solar steam system in response to a detected or predicted reduced insolation condition (for example, sunset or a cloud condition). In some embodiments, for a period of time, enthalpy stored within a solid material of a conduit via which steam travels en route to a steam turbine is used to heat the steam to drive the turbine. In some embodiments, a net migration of heliostats away from the steam superheater is carried out in response to the detected or predicted reduced insolation condition. | 09-13-2012 |
