The thought of computer micro ID chips in humans has been around in a sense for a few thousand years. The use of the global positioning system "GPS" has been a remarkable tool for the modern man. This device can be used in cars to help people get to their destination‚ or in the hand of a hunter to retrace his lucky hunting spot way out in the middle of nowhere in the woods. Recently a school in California has inserted GPS chips in their student ID cards so the school knows where the students are

What is a GPS? GPS‚ a device known as Global Positioning System is a tool used for tracking locations‚ finding routes for certain places and for finding the position of objects‚ people and yourself. This device uses a satellite based network to provide you with necessary information to a certain place or location you wish to go to. This technology uses signals that are transmitted from satellites to the earth which are captured by monitoring stations on the earth then sent to the receivers

The current driver interface is based on recent experimental results that drowsiness feedback can reduce drowsiness and improve driver performance for sleep deprived truck drivers operating a truck simulator. DSS System The DSS system works most of the time for most operators Provides “virtual” driving buddy for the operator Can provide site supervision near real-time notice of potential fatigued operators Highly effective if used with supervisor intervention procedure

14 Omega was the first truly global radio navigation system for aircraft‚ operated by the United States in cooperation with six partner nations. It enabled ships and aircraft to determine their position by receiving very low frequency (VLF) radio signals transmitted by a network of fixed terrestrial radio beacons‚ using a receiver unit. It became operational around 1971 and was shut down in 1997. INTRODUCTION The OMEGA radio navigation system‚ developed by the United States Navy for

Hyperbolic navigation Hyperbolic navigation refers to a class of radio navigation systems based on the difference in timing between the reception of two signals‚ without reference to a common clock. This timing reveals the difference in distance from the receiver to the two stations. Plotting all of the potential locations of the receiver for the measured delay produces a series of hyperbolic lines on a chart. Taking two such measurements and looking for the intersections of the hyperbolic lines

While the technology available to Christopher Columbus in 1492 was certainly sufficient to impress his memory firmly upon future generations‚ if he had had access to modern navigational techniques and technology‚ the organization and outcome of his voyages would have been vastly different. Methods of elucidating longitude in Columbus’s time were nonexistent‚ and those for determining latitude could be deeply flawed. Thus‚ given the defective nature of the technology Columbus employed on his voyages

Computers In Military Applications Computers have given the modern military a degree of efficiency and effectiveness that has completely changed the way the military operates at sea‚ in the air‚ and on the ground. The fast computational abilities and the accuracy of digital computing enable the military to perform more quickly with less risk to themselves and with less cost to their government. Wars fought prior to the advent of digital computing could take years to complete and resulted

Personalized Location Provider Abstract—Currently available location technologies such as the global positioning system (GPS) or Wi-Fi fingerprinting are limited‚ respectively‚ to outdoor applications or require offline signal learning. In this paper‚ we present a smartphone-based autonomous construction and management of a personalized location provider in indoor and outdoor environments. Our system makes use of electronic compass and accelerometer‚ specifically for indoor user tracking. We mainly
