Title: Innovations of Dave Lawrence in Satellite Navigation Systems
Introduction
Dave Lawrence is an accomplished inventor based in Mountain View, CA. He has made significant contributions to the field of satellite navigation systems, holding two patents that showcase his innovative approach to technology. His work focuses on enhancing the accuracy and reliability of navigation systems, even in challenging conditions.
Latest Patents
One of Dave Lawrence's latest patents is a satellite navigation system that utilizes multiple antennas. This system is designed to provide the position of multiple fiduciary points on an object, even when fewer than four satellites are visible to some or all the antennas. The satellite signals from the multiple antennas are fed into at least one receiver. The receiver or receivers utilize constraint information that is independent of the satellite signals. These external constraints are used to augment the signals received from the satellites, allowing for a more accurate position solution for each antenna. In a preferred embodiment, a common reference clock is employed to provide an external constraint. Other examples of external constraints that can be utilized in this invention include the distance between the antennas, inertial measurement of attitude, and rotational or linear position sensors.
