Filed: 2002-05-29
Abstract: The receiver (1) for radio-frequency signals (SV1, SV2, SV3, SV4), modulated by specific codes of transmitting sources, such as satellites (S1, S2, S3, S4), includes receiving and shaping means with frequency conversion for the radio-frequency signals for generating intermediate signals, a correlation stage formed of several correlation channels for receiving the intermediate signals and microprocessor means connected to the correlation stage in order to process the extracted data after correlation. Each channel includes a correlator in which the intermediate signals are correlated with at least two early and late replicas of the specific code of a visible transmitting source to be searched and tracked. The correlator further includes integration means for the correlated signals to provide a first amplitude value of the auto-correlation function of the early signals and a second amplitude value for the late signals. When multipath signals (SV1', SV3') are detected in the first operating               ~ channel, at least a second unused channel is configured, via the microprocessor means, and connected in parallel to the first channel. The second channel has the task of searching the maximum amplitude value between the two amplitude values of the first operating channel.   The receiver, in particular of the GPS type, can be mounted in the case of a watch and powered by the energy accumulator or battery of said watch.

Title: A system for integrating diverse databases and maintaining their consistency
Inventor: ORDILLE JOANN J
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2001-04-10
Abstract: An arrangement maintains consistency among satellite databases and an integrated database that is the union of the satellite databases with a controller that fetches update requests from a queue and applies each fetche d request to all of the databases, in sequence, ending with the integrated database. In applying a modification request to a target database, a filter is used that comprises two components. The first component processes the modification request submitted by the queue to a modification request that i s appropriate for the schema of the target database and that is based on the data that is already present in the target database. When appropriate, the first component also creates an update request that is sent to the queue, to  achieve transitive closure. The second component communicates with the targe t database, using the API and protocols of the target database.
