Path Progression Matching For Indoor Positioning Systems
US Patent:
8565783, Oct 22, 2013
Filed:
Nov 24, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/954545
Inventors:
Zongxiang Yang - Superior CO, US
Henry Frick - Boulder CO, US
John Charles Curlander - Boulder CO, US
William B. Gail - Boulder CO, US
Sharad Agarwal - Seattle WA, US

Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
H04W 24/00
US Classification:
4554561
Abstract:
A path progression matching system and method that uses path progression to find a current position of a mobile device in an indoor environment and a path history to find the path of the mobile device to get to the current position. Embodiments of the system and method use path history information, constraints, and optimization measures such as the use of received signal strength indicator (RSSI) weighted correlation coefficients. Embodiments of the system and method include a unified probabilistic model that uses path history and allows multiple constraints to be applied simultaneously. Embodiments of the system and method also include a path progression module having a first-stage progression module, which finds a starting location for the path progression matching, a second-stage module, which begins building a path history, and a third-stage progression module, which uses the path history to find the current position and path.
Virtual Shopping Assistance
US Patent:
2012023, Sep 20, 2012
Filed:
Mar 15, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/047907
Inventors:
John Curlander - Boulder CO, US
William B. Gail - Boulder CO, US
Heinrich Frick - Boulder CO, US
William B. Gail - Boulder CO, US
Heinrich Frick - Boulder CO, US
Assignee:
MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06Q 30/00
US Classification:
705 1466
Abstract:
On-premise virtual shopping assistance is provided via a mobile device and other networked user interface devices. The assistance can be based on various context parameters associated with the shopper, including without limitation location, past shopping behavior, shopping list content, store layout, inventory, social networking characteristics, in-store activity, perceived shopper intent, etc. Based on such context information, a retailer and/or a manufacturer can provide relevant information to an on-premise shopper, including without limitation product/service promotions (e.g., discounts), product/service specifications (e.g., nutritional information) and recommendations and on-premise routing information. Such information may be presented to the user through a mobile device or via on-premise displays that respond to the shopper's location within a store. In one implementation, on-premise virtual shopping assistance may be provided through a cross-retailer shopping platform that integrates shopper, product/service, and retailer information and presents relevant assistance to the shopper through one or more user interfaces.
Reduction Of Radar Antenna Area
US Patent:
5745069, Apr 28, 1998
Filed:
Sep 10, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/710092
Inventors:
William B. Gail - Boulder CO
Assignee:
Ball Corporation - Muncie IN
International Classification:
G01S 1390
US Classification:
342 25
Abstract:
The traditional minimum antenna area limit for synthetic aperture radar (SAR), imposed by ambiguity considerations, is eliminated by using a transmitter format providing distinguishable sub-pulses. Signal formats which are feasible for implementing such sub-pulses include frequency-division (i. e. , a distinct frequency band is used for each sub-pulse), and code-division (i. e. , sub-pulses occupying the same frequency band are grouped in distinguishable combinations). The nominal pulse period is divided into N sub-pulses, and the sub-pulse group is transmitted with the nominal pulse repetition frequency (f. sub. p). The range ambiguities are determined by the repetition rate of the sub-pulse group (f. sub. p) and the azimuth ambiguities are determined by the repetition rate of the sub-pulses (N. f. sub. p). The antenna is capable of sampling a Doppler bandwidth that is a factor of N times the traditional value and the antenna area can be reduced by a factor N from the limiting value presently used in SAR antenna design.
Using Mobile Data To Improve Weather Information
US Patent:
2023010, Mar 30, 2023
Filed:
Oct 5, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/938147
Inventors:
- Mountain View CA, US
William B. Gail - Boulder CO, US
William B. Gail - Boulder CO, US
International Classification:
G01W 1/10
Abstract:
A system for using mobile data to improve weather information is provided. The system includes a weather prediction station configured to receive stationary observation data provided by a plurality of stationary weather stations along with data from a plurality of input weather models and generate unified weather model estimates based on the stationary observation data, the input weather model data, and a processor. The processor is configured to aggregate mobile observation data provided by a plurality of non-stationary sensors and use the aggregated mobile observation data to adjust the weather model estimates.

It is generally assumed that, in polite company, you don’t talk politics, religion, or money. But in recent years, it seems climate change” needs to be added to that list. Incorporating all of the above, few topics can divide a dinner party faster. Yet, while much ink has been spilled on both sides ...
