Railcar location using mutter networks and locomotive transmitter during transit
TL;DR: In this article, a method of tracking railcars in transit using global positioning techniques involves determining the location of a railcar by using a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and a satellite transceiver on board the locomotive, and a local area network of railcar tracking units.
Patent
Turbo decoder control for use with a programmable interleaver, variable block length, and multiple code rates
Nick Andrew Van Stralen,Stephen Michael Hladik,Abdallah Mahmoud Itani,Robert Gideon Wodnicki,John Anderson Fergus Ross +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a turbo decoder control comprises an address generator for addressing systematic data, parity data, and systematic likelihood ratios according to a pre-determined memory mapping, such that interleaving and de-interleaving functions in the MAP decoding algorithm are performed in real-time, i.e., without delay.
Patent
Protocol and mechanism for primary and mutter mode communication for asset tracking
Irfan Ali,John Erik Hershey,Stephen Michael Hladik,Amer A. Hassan,Sandeep Chennakeshu,Ravinder David Koilpillai,Kenneth Brakeley Welles,Harold Woodruff Tomlinson +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose the use of the local area network (LAN) or "mutter" mode, in which a subset of tracking units communicate with each other in a mobile LAN.
Patent
Method and apparatus for reducing interference among cellular telephone signals
Richard L. Frey,Richard Charles Gaus,L. George Ii Robert,Stephen Michael Hladik,Howard LeRoy Lester,Charles M. Puckette,Jimmy C. Ray +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, aircraft directional antennae are used to minimize the signal strength of air cellular signals received by ground cellular BSs by switching to channels not currently in use for ground cellular systems.
Patent
Reduced-power GPS-based system for tracking multiple objects from a central location
TL;DR: In this paper, the location of an object to be tracked is determined by measuring the propagation time difference between the signals from a plurality of GPS satellites, each of which is received by the receiver situated at the object.
