Title: Methods and systems for enhanced navigational performance
Inventor: COHEN CLARK E
IPC: H04Q7/36
Filed: 2005-01-12
Abstract: Methods and systems for navigation are disclosed. In one embodiment, data from GPS satellites within a field of view of a ground station are retransmitted to LEO satellites, such as Iridium satellites, and cross-linked if necessary before being transmitted to a user. The user is then able to combine the fed-forward data with data received directly from GPS satellites in order to resolve errors due to interference or jamming. Alternately, a method includes receiving at least one carrier signal at a user device, each carrier signal being transmitted by a distinct LEO satellite. The user device processes the carrier signals to obtain a first carrier phase information. The user device recalls an inertial position fix derived at an inertial reference unit. The user device derives a position of the user device based on the inertial position fix and the first carrier phase information.

Title: Horizontal drainwater heat exchanger
Inventor: MACKELVIE WINSTON R
IPC: F28D7/16
Filed: 2006-09-07
Abstract: The present invention is a heat exchanger to recover heat from drainwater in a building (also referred to as wastewater) or from industrial/commercial process fluids.  The heat exchanger is for horizontal use where it replaces a convenient length of horizontal drainpipe.  The upper first conduit of the heat exchanger for the drainwater is a large bore, flat bottomed (hemicylindrical) copper tube with no obstacle to drainwater flow. The lower second conduit heat exchanger is for the cold feed water of a water heater and is a flat topped tube, (hemicylinder) bound tightly to the first conduit so that maximum heat transfer can occur therebetween. The ends of the upper first conduit are adapted to connect with round drainpipes either by forming a round end or by attaching adaptors thereto. The ends of the lower second conduit are sealed and adapted to connect to regular water piping. In forming the tubes, a groove therebetween provides a vent to the ambient that provides visual indication of any leakage.
