In one embodiment of the invention, a crew member () using a computing device () communicates over a wireless link () with a film system communication module () placed nearby a filming tank (). The computing device () can be a smartphone, tablet or computer. A crew member () and/or talent () wearing a remote transceiver () in the tank communicates over a wireless link () through the film system communication module. Additional crew members () can also connect to the film system communication module () and communicate to any person with a transceiver ().

System for making motion pictures under water

A system for monitoring and directing athletic or other physical activities is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a headset worn by an athlete includes one or more sensors, a microprocessor, a non-volatile memory and a communication link. The athlete's headset receives and transmits signals to a coach while the athlete is performing an activity. In this embodiment, the present invention provides coordinated audio streams to the athlete during his/her activity and training.

Activity monitoring and directing system

A method for searching for parking for a vehicle using a positioning device and a map having a plurality of segments; determining that the vehicle is near a first location; generating a first route comprising segments from the plurality of segments, prioritizing segments closer to the first location and avoiding use of segments more than once in the first route; generating signals to direct the vehicle along the first route using positioning information from the positioning device; and determining that the vehicle is parked.

Method and apparatus to search for local parking

A method and apparatus for routing using a positioning device and a map having a plurality of segments; generating a first route from a first location to a second location; generating signals to provide directions along the first route using positioning information from the positioning device; detecting that the positioning device is off-route at a third location, the third location being adjacent to the first route; generating a second route by tracking the position of the positioning device from the third location to to a fourth location, and, in some cases, storing the second route for use in route generation.

Method and apparatus for hybrid routing using breadcrumb paths

A method and apparatus for identifying access points using a positioning device and a map having a plurality of segments; determining that the positioning device is near a first location; detecting that the positioning device is off-route at a second location; and storing the second location as a first access point associated with the first location on the map.

Method and apparatus for access point recording using a position device

Apparatus, methods, processors and computer readable media for determining a suggested route having an estimated minimum fuel usage for a vehicle based on a estimated fuel efficiency for the vehicle for different speeds of the vehicle and based on estimated speeds for the route. The estimated fuel efficiency for the vehicle is based on aggregated data for the vehicle. Alternatively, the estimated fuel efficiency is based on actual data for the vehicle. In some embodiments, suggested routes are constrained by user route preferences, and real-time route information. Alternatively or additionally, the estimated fuel usage is based on actual driver behavior data.

Methods and apparatus for determining a route having an estimated minimum fuel usage for a vehicle

A method of and computer system for assisting GPS position determination is described. Ephemeris and updated almanac information for a GPS satellite is received over a datalink. Based on the received updated almanac information and GPS parity algorithms, data bits of the GPS signal are reconstructed. Based on the current time, the reconstructed data bits are synchronized with the time of reception of a GPS signal from a satellite currently in view. The reconstructed data bits are subtracted from the received GPS signal at the synchronized time. A coherent integration of the received GPS signal over the time period corresponding to the reconstructed data bits is performed to obtain a GPS pseudo-range measurement. The GPS receiver position is determined using the generated, synchronized pseudo-range measurement and the ephemeris information received over the datalink.
