摘要:
The embodiments described herein provide ranging capabilities in RF-opaque environments, such as a jungle, that preclude the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) and/or laser ranging systems, utilizing transponders and Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers located on aerial vehicles. The aerial vehicles operate above the RF-opaque environment, and communicate with a ranging device within the RF-opaque environment on frequencies that propagate in the RF-opaque environment. The ranging device transmits RF signals to the transponders, which are received by the transponders and sent back to the ranging device on a different frequency. The aerial vehicles also provide their coordinates to the ranging device using their GPS receivers. The ranging device uses information about the transmitted and received RF signals and the GPS coordinates of the aerial vehicles to calculate a distance to a property line from the ranging device, and/or to calculate a coordinate location of the ranging device.

A surface structure assembly that is adapted to be heated when electrically connected to a source of electrical power. The assembly has a relatively flat, thin surface structure having a top surface and an opposing bottom surface, and an electrically-operated radiant heating panel that has opposed front and back surfaces and is about the same size and shape as the surface structure. A fastening system mechanically couples the front surface of heating panel to the bottom surface of the surface structure.

The embodiments described herein provide ranging capabilities in RF-opaque environments, such as a jungle, utilizing transponders located on a property line. In particular, the embodiments described herein provide for determining a distance to a property line from a ranging device. The transponders are located on the property line and are separated from each other by a known distance. The ranging device transmits RF signals to the transponders, and receives RF signals returned by the transponders on a different frequency. The ranging device uses information about the transmitted and received RF signals and the known distance to calculate a distance from the ranging device to the property line.
