Title: Innovations by Michael J Armatys
Introduction
Michael J Armatys is a notable inventor based in Cedar Rapids, IA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of navigation technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His work primarily focuses on enhancing precision navigation solutions through advanced algorithms.
Latest Patents
Armatys's latest patents include a system for determining high-integrity navigation solutions via optimal partial fixing of floating-point integer ambiguities. This innovative system decorrelates GPS carrier-phase ambiguities derived from multiple-source GPS information using Least-squares AMBiguity Decorrelation Adjustment (LAMBDA) algorithms. The decorrelated floating-point ambiguities are utilized to compute protection levels and the probability of almost fix (PAF). This probability indicates the likelihood that the partial almost-fix solution is within the region of correctly-fixed or low-error almost-fixed ambiguities. The system generates optimal navigation solutions by fixing the decorrelated ambiguities one at a time in the LAMBDA domain, ensuring high integrity in navigation.
Another significant patent by Armatys is the high integrity partial almost-fix solution. This system also decorrelates GPS carrier-phase ambiguities using LAMBDA algorithms and computes protection levels and PAF. The methodology remains consistent, generating optimal navigation solutions while monitoring the PAF and protection levels to ensure they remain below alert thresholds.
