Title: Position determination using carrier phase measurements of satellite signals
Inventor: ZHODZISHSKY MARK I
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2006-06-30
Granted: 2010-11-30
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for determining the relative position of a mobile unit that moves from an initial location to a plurality of successive positions. The mobile unit receives signals from a plurality of navigation satellites and tracks the carrier phases of the signals during movement. For each of the received signals, carrier phase increments are calculated over a plurality of epochs. Anomalous carrier phase increments are determined and eliminated from further calculations. The non- eliminated carrier phase increments are then used to calculate coordinate increments for each of the time epochs. If, after elimination, the remaining number of carrier-phase increments is less than a threshold for a particular epoch, then coordinate increments for the particular epoch may be extrapolated using data from prior epochs. In various embodiments, least squares method and Kalman filtering may be used to calculate the coordinate increments. The coordinate increments may then be summed over a plurality of time epochs in order to determine a position of the mobile unit relative to its initial position.

Title: Pulse contour method and apparatus for continuous assessment of a cardiovascular parameter
Inventor: HATIB FERAS
IPC: A61B5/029
Filed: 2006-04-12
Granted: 2014-06-10
Abstract: A cardiovascular parameter such as cardiac output is estimated from a current pressure waveform data set without needing to directly measure blood flow or arterial compliance. The general shape of an input flow waveform over one beat-to-beat cycle is assumed (or computed), and then the parameters of a flow-to-pressure model, if not pre-determined, are determined using system identification techniques. In one embodiment, the parameters thus determined are used to estimate a current peripheral resistance, which is used not only to compute an estimate of the cardiovascular parameter, but also to adjust the shape of the input flow waveform assumed during at least one subsequent beat-to-beat cycle. Another embodiment does not require computation of the peripheral resistance and still another embodiment computes a flow estimate from an optimized identification of the parameters defining the assumed input flow waveform.
