Title: The Innovations of Rick R Lloyd
Introduction
Rick R Lloyd is an accomplished inventor based in Orange, California. He is known for his innovative contributions to the field of global positioning systems (GPS). With a focus on enhancing the tracking of high-dynamic targets, Lloyd has made significant strides in the realm of technology.
Latest Patents
Lloyd holds a patent for a Hybrid Translator in a Global Positioning System (GPS). This system is designed for tracking high-dynamic targets by relaying semi-processed GPS signals to a remote signal processing station with a relatively small and efficient bandwidth. The invention allows for the provision of processed GPS signals in high-dynamic environments without the need for an inertial measurement unit (IMU). One embodiment of the invention includes a hybrid translator that combines a full GPS navigation system with a translator system. The modulated GPS signals, such as modulated C/A codes, are pre-processed to minimize the information required to reconstruct the GPS signal received by the hybrid translator. This processing can yield a pseudo-range measurement and an indication of the corruption of delta range in the pseudo-range measurement, which are then transmitted to a remote location, such as a ground station, via a wireless downlink.
