Title: Mixed code, and method and apparatus for generating the same, and method and apparatus for decoding the same
Inventor: CHOI HAN-YEONG
IPC: G06K19/06
Filed: 2005-11-03
Abstract: A mixed code, and a method and apparatus for encoding the same are provided.  The mixed code includes a first code image region storing a first code image obtained by encoding first information using color, shading, or a combination thereof, and a second code image region storing a second code image obtained by encoding second information using color, shading, or a combination thereof.  The first code image and/or the second code image includes the results of encoding interpretation information, construction information, error control information, and code direction information. The mixed code is made by adjusting the difference in color and brightness between the first and second code images to a predetermined level and combining these images. Also Provided are a method and apparatus for decoding a mixed code that is a combination of first and second code images. In the method, a mixed code image is obtained by receiving the original image having the mixed code image and removing noise from the original image. Next, the colors, shades, and brightnesses of pixels of the mixed code image are categorized into groups based on a predetermined threshold, the mixed code image is divided into first and second code images, and first and second information are extracted by decoding the first and second code images, respectively. The first and second code images can be effectively decoded by decoding interpretation information, construction information, error control information, and code direction information stored in the first and/or second code images.

Title: System and method for enhancing the performance of satellite navigation receivers
IPC: G01S19/11
Filed: 2007-06-05
Abstract: A system and method for enhancing the performance of satellite navigation receivers are disclosed, which incorporate a precise frequency reference in a satellite navigation receiver that reduces the system's dependence on maintaining continuous satellite reception for RAIM availability. As one example, a system for enhancing the performance of a satellite navigation receiver is disclosed, which includes a GPS receiver and a high precision (e.g., atomic) clock incorporated into the GPS  receiver. The use of the high precision clock reduces clock error and the number of satellite measurements needed to meet existing RAIM availability requirements.  For example, incorporating a precision clock into a GPS receiver provides an enhanced system that meets existing RAIM availability requirements with at least one less satellite measurement than the number needed for prior systems using RAIM.

Inventor: BLATHERWICK PETER
IPC: H04L12/12
Filed: 2008-04-24
Abstract: La présente spécification concerne un système pour la configuration de multiples dispositifs sur un réseau local. Le système peut permettre une configuration par du personnel non spécialisé. La configuration est souple parce que les dispositifs peuvent coopérer pour préserver une configuration de dispositifs temporairement retirés. Le système inclut un serveur de configuration local qui restaurera la configuration de dispositifs antérieurement configurés lorsqu'ils sont retournés au réseau, ou aidera des dispositifs récemment connectés à obtenir une configuration initiale. Le serveur de configuration local peut être un élément d'un dispositif d'un utilisateur final déjà existant, ou il peut être une entité distincte, et il peut être choisi à partir de la série de tous les dispositifs présents sur le réseau. Le serveur de configuration local actuellement actif peut être configuré pour répartir des données actuelles à d'autres dispositifs ayant la capacité d'agir comme serveur de configuration local dans le réseau pour une insensibilité aux défaillances, en cas de défaillance ou d'interruption de service, et pour permettre à un nouveau dispositif d'être choisi. Pour une insensibilité aux défaillances pendant des pannes d'alimentation ou d'autres causes de défaillance de réseau local, un regroupeur basé sur réseau est aussi décrit. Les serveurs de configuration locaux peuvent enregistrer leurs configurations de tous les dispositifs de réseau sur le regroupeur. Le regroupeur peut restaurer ces configurations sur le serveur de configuration local pertinent lors de la récupération de défaillances de réseau local. Avec cette capacité, le regroupeur peut fournir un chemin où les serveurs de configuration basés sur réseau peuvent gérer des configurations sur tous les dispositifs.
