A system including a polarized RF scanning reference source and one or more cavity sensor receivers.
METHODS OF PRESENTING AS BUILT DATA RELATIVE TO AN AGENT POSITION IN AN AUGMENTED VIRTUAL MODEL
Methods for presenting an augmented virtual model of a physical building. A headgear on an Agent is used to scan a physical building and capture aspects of the building at respective locations. The aspects are stored a As Built Data. A portion of the As Built Data is associated with a location in the physical building. A user interface includes a representation of an agent position and presents the portion of the As Built Data in a position relative to the agent location.
Systems, methods, and devices for locating items, people, and/or animals
Systems, methods, and devices for locating items, people, and/or animals are provided. In accordance with some embodiments, locator devices for locating a target device are provided, the locator devices comprising: a first transceiver configured to communicate with a second transceiver in the target device; a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver configured to receive data from a plurality of satellites for calculating a location; a visual indicator; and a hardware processor that: receives signals from the first transceiver; calculates an estimated distance between the locator device and a target device based on the signals; controls whether the GNSS receiver is powered on or off based on the estimated distance; and causes the visual indicator indicate an estimated direction to the target device from the locator device.
Estimating physiological load from location data
Methods and devices for determining a load vector on an object are disclosed herein. An example method includes collecting location observations related to the object. The example method further includes filtering the location observations to determine an estimated model path. The example method further includes outputting a set of data from the estimated model path, wherein the set of data includes a model location, a model velocity, a model acceleration, and a model jerk. The example method further includes calculating a load vector from the set of data, scaling the load vector via a scaling index, and transmitting the scaled load vector to a remote device.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LOCATION DETERMINATION OF WEARABLE SMART DEVICES
Methods and apparatus for interacting with a tag in a radio target area. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and systems for monitoring temperature and other environmental conditions in a storage area and displaying environmental conditions as digital content in a user interactive interface based upon energy levels received from a radio target area and content from a sensor generating digital content.
PERFORMING LOCALISATION OF A FIRST USER DEVICE
It is provided a method for performing localisation of a first user device comprising an environment sensor. The method is performed in a localisation determiner and comprising the steps of: determining a dynamicity parameter indicating an extent of environment dynamicity for the first user device; determining when the dynamicity parameter indicates that the first user device is in a dynamic environment; triggering localisation to occur using localisation procedures of a cellular network to which the first user device is connected, when the first user device is determined to be in a dynamic environment; and triggering localisation to occur using at least one environment sensor of the first user device when the first user device is determined to not be in a dynamic environment.
METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING, BY APPARATUS, CPM IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM SUPPORTING SIDELINK, AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

INTEGRITY FOR RAT DEPENDENT POSITIONING
Systems and methods for generating and configuring integrity parameters associated with positioning measurements and calculations are provided herein. Integrity KPIs can be determined to assess the integrity level of a RAT-dependent positioning estimation. A network node obtains a quality of service (QoS) for a positioning application and determines an integrity key performance indicator (KPI) associated with the QoS. A wireless device receives the KPI associated with the QoS and monitors it while performing positioning measurements.
