135 System and method for determining the position of an underwater vehicle US11675167 2007-02-15 US09223002B2 2015-12-29 Jonathan C. Crowell
A system and a method are provided for determining the position of an underwater vehicle while the vehicle is operating underwater. A buoyant float stays on or near the surface of the water and is attached to the vehicle by thin tether that can include insulated wires. The vehicle moves under the water and pulls the float behind it. The float can receive a localization signal, such as a signal indicating its GPS position, and so can determine its position precisely. The position can be transmitted to the underwater vehicle over the wires located in the tether. The underwater vehicle can use sensors and/or calculations to determine the positional offset of the vehicle from the float buoy and generates its true position based on the known position of the float and the positional offset. The float can be constructed with attributes that will allow the float it operate with a greater tether length, and in turn allow the underwater vehicle to operate at greater depths. The float may also generally carry a radio system for high speed communication of signals from the vehicle while the vehicle is submerged.
136 Communication system, transmission device and receiving device US14260796 2014-04-24 US09207326B2 2015-12-08 Jun Nomura
In a communication system, a transmitting unit divides each of latitude data and longitude data of a current location transmitted from a GPS receiver, at a predetermined digit position, into high order data and low order data.

A receiving unit combines the high and low order data regarding the latitude data together, and further combines the high and low order data regarding the longitude data, extracted from the received high and low order frames in order to reconstruct the latitude data and the longitude data of the current location.
