This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,267.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

The inventive concept adapts the core technology of the original navigation system to enable accurate tracking and navigation in various industries, including agriculture, livestock monitoring, underwater exploration, inventory management, and environmental pollution monitoring.

Background and Problem Solved

The original navigation system was limited to medical procedures, but the new inventive concept addresses the need for precise navigation and tracking in diverse industries. The problem of inaccuracy and inefficiency in these industries is solved by applying the spread spectrum signal technology to these new use cases.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The new inventive concept consists of a navigation module, a transmitter, a receiver, and a tracking module. The navigation module generates a spread spectrum signal, which is transmitted to the receiver module. The tracking module evaluates the sensed signal to determine the pose of the tracked object, whether it be agricultural equipment, livestock, underwater vehicles, inventory, or environmental pollutants. The system can be adapted to various industries by modifying the transmitter, receiver, and tracking module configurations.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a novel application of the spread spectrum signal technology to diverse industries, which is not obvious from the original patent. The inventive step lies in the adaptation of the core technology to address specific challenges in these industries, such as tracking agricultural equipment in vast fields or monitoring environmental pollutants in complex ecosystems.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include using different types of spread spectrum signals, modifying the transmitter and receiver configurations for specific industries, or integrating the system with existing infrastructure. Variations could include using the system for tracking people, vehicles, or other objects in various environments.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in various industries, including agriculture, livestock monitoring, underwater exploration, inventory management, and environmental pollution monitoring. The system could be marketed as a customizable solution for industries requiring accurate tracking and navigation, offering improved efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced decision-making capabilities.
