Description
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a group of small, windscreen radio stations, and more specifically to a number of small, lighter than air separate telecommunications stations and floating in the Earth's natural magnetic field over the adjacent geographic area. Pre-emptive rights are required based on U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09 / 342,440, filed 06/29/99.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Until recently, all telecommunications networks were located on a single track called a groundbreaker, located 23,300 miles above the equator of the Earth. Since the international intergovernmental agreement demanded that the satellites be separated by two degrees, only 180 locations were found on a groundbreaking orbit. Preferred three-stage chemical missile will usually be 94% protruding at a ground-rotational orbit, which, after disposing approximately 5.6% of the missile weight, is only about 0.4% of the initial weight with a shot for the satellite. In order to make this happen, an average £ 3,000 vehicle with the same performance could only carry one £ 200 person, and would need a 8,400 gallon fuel tank, and would be disposed of after one trip. Finally,
At present, as there are a limited number of positions on the earth turbine orbit, earth-rotating satellites are increasing in size and performance, which can now broadcast television signals directly to homes. Recently, additional satellite systems have been put into operation that do not require ground-rotating orbit. All of these new networks have shot down smaller telecommunications networks on a much lower orbit, as there is an unlimited number of locations. Because the satellites used for networks are much more and because the satellites are smaller, up to 8 satellites in a missile have been shot on the ceiling. Although satellites have become smaller and more, there are not yet "personal satellites" and no manufacturers with mass production of consumer goods in the satellite industry today.
It may be estimated that the network of low-speed orbital satellite satellites to support tracking, transmission, reception, tagging among the majority of small satellites, and the necessary system network for voice systems would cost at least 3 billion US dollars in commissioning. Within four years of launching a system, each of the five million subscribers has invested up to $ 3,000 in the device, resulting in a total of $ 15 billion of investment in new equipment. The cost of using smaller systems of low-orbit ferry tickets could be estimated at approximately $ 475 million. Such a system could potentially serve two to three million users, each with user equipment costing $ 300- $ 1000. Therefore,
At present, an industry that covers weather conditions has the purpose of collecting weather information. Weather kits are device packets that are shot on the weather to gather weather data. Radios are shot from network locations around the world at noon and at midnight at Greenwich local time every day. Weather Surveillance Services collect data about temperature, humidity, pressure and wind as they rise from Earth's surface to approximately 100,000 feet during a two-hour flight. For a convenient reference, it has sometimes been referred to wind-based telecommunications stations or belts carrying electronic equipment for telecommunications and management as "nano satellites in the hip" or "SNS" for shortening. The information obtained from the network of rising weather is important in weather forecasts. Most countries in the world are bound by intergovernmental agreements to pop up the weather from designated sites and to share the data with other countries. At present, about 800,000 weather forecasters are shot to air every year around the world. This number represents the 997 global weather surveillance stations that shoot two meteorologists per day, 365 days a year (727,000), along with few weathered airplanes for military and research purposes. About 18% of weather conditions are restored, rebuilt, resulting in a new production of about 650,000 weather forecasts a year. This number represents the 997 global weather surveillance stations that shoot two meteorologists per day, 365 days a year (727,000), along with few weathered airplanes for military and research purposes. About 18% of weather conditions are restored, rebuilt, resulting in a new production of about 650,000 weather forecasts a year.

The location systems currently used to monitor weatherblocks are either inactive (Omega, started in 2000, Loran-C, shortly after 2000) or it's old for surgery and maintenance is becoming overly expensive (radar radar horns) . Changes in weather systems are usually very slower, as meteorologists investigate climate change by comparing data collected for 4 decades. Therefore, they are very suspicious of any changes that can introduce new bias to data while they are collected. This is evident from the fact that large users, like the US weather agency (NWS), still use parallel weathering weather monitored by radar horn gauges when digital seafarers have existed for many years. Government's tightening has made some users unable to pay for new technology needed. Now, there is now pressure on the core market to switch to the use of the Global GPS System (GPS) to cope with winds with a weather survey. From 1995 to 1998, the NWS tried and failed to get the US parliament to fund a project to develop a GPS location system for the US observation network. These inability to develop the necessary new technologies to replace the old and untouched infrastructure of the weather is happening simultaneously with reallocation of the RF weather for commercial purposes. The weather kits have been sent out at 400 MHZ for the seagoing kits and 1680 MHZ for the radar horns. The 400MHZ frequency band can be offered by the Federal Communications Council (FCC) in the United States for the simultaneous use of retail services. Therefore,
Very large and expensive NASA balloons have each been shot on the air and kept in a row for long periods. These balloons carry hundreds of pounds of equipment and cost tens of thousands of dollars each. Individual airbags do not have the ability to maintain a continuous line of sight distribution across widespread geographic areas.
Personal Communications Services (PCS) is a new category of digital services launched by FCC in 1994. PCS is divided into two categories, broadband and PCS. Broadband is primarily for voice services, and PCS broadband phones are now competing with traditional mobile phones. The band is for modern messaging, which is essentially a two-way call. The telecommunications industry views modern messaging as a portable extension of an email account, just as mobile phones have been portable on a desktop phone. Generally, the national league PCS (NPCS) national first-ever team has been offered by FCC. Approximately 30 NPCS licenses at local and national level have been offered and sold to retail companies. The fact that the test was offered is significant in such a way that there are fewer restrictions on the use of this test than the use of FCC license for a conventional test. For auction, the FCC allowed gradual trials, and companies had to prove they were using the "good for the public" airwaves. It was usually very accurate rules on how to use the frequency. Because companies paid for their PCS, they almost have the test. The FCC imposed only minimum rules to prevent systems from interfering with other burst waves and systems of other countries. Additionally, the FCC and Industry Canada came to an agreement known as an agreement on wireless communications on the ground where Canada assigned the same frequencies for NPCS with the same channel structure as the US offer. This allowed the NPCS across borders possible and 1996, at least one broadcaster was granted an NPCS license in Canada to operate at the same time as the US license. Mexico has also identified the same channel divider as used in the United States.
One of FCC's limitations is to provide affordable access to users in rural areas of radio communications (RF). This market has been largely ignored by larger telecommunications companies because of the declining return on investment in providing unnecessary telecommunications to regions with a detached area. These wireless services include calls, advanced phone calls, telemeters, numbers, and so on. Even though both voice and voice services are available in rural areas using satellite systems, the cost is generally in thousands of dollars per unit and out of reach for most customers. In addition, artificial honey systems are difficult to provide services in urban areas because they lack the necessary mark strength to get through buildings.
CONDITIONS AND PURCHASES OF THE INVENTION
The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the foregoing telecommunication cables, using low and relatively low-cost dwarf technology to embed most of the roles of existing telecommunications networks into lighter-than-air communication stations. Specifically, the number of lighter-than-air balloons forming a group are designed to carry a dwarf-aggressive radio equipment in the inverted Earth's Earthquake called the heath wave. The weight of these stops is approximately 100 to 1000 times smaller than those that are thrown into an orthopedic orbit. For a convenient reference, it has sometimes been referred to wind-based telecommunications stations or belts carrying electronic equipment for telecommunications and management as "nano satellites in the hip" or "SNS" for shortening. in the metric system, the "nano" represents the prefix unit of 1. 000 times smaller than the "micro" prefix. The SNS invention eliminates the need for a missile to bring the satellite to orbit. A synchronized shot of a number of wind-borne SNS stations with separate geographic locations provides a cheaper set of satellites. The SNS stations rise after a shot at a controlled, adjustable height as they migrate over a geographical area according to the weather conditions of the steam wave and the heath and especially the wind. The SNS stations can be raised or lowered by venting gas or by releasing a ballast to grab prevailing winds that are advantageous for keeping the SNS stations evenly separate. The stations are dropped quickly when it becomes unnecessary. Additional shots of additional stations fill up with excessive holes formed in the group.

The current user interface designed for wireless communications on the ground can work with the SNS system of the present inventor. It does not apply to the traditional telecommunication switch industry, as the telecommunications networks are very far away from the user (more than 22,000 miles for ground-moving satellites that make the signal too weak without specialized user equipment, or that the satellites travel at high speeds relative to users on the planet (more 36,000 miles per hour for satellite near orbit orbit) causing frequencies in the receiver. The SNS station is at least about 175 miles (280 kilometers) from the user on the ground, depending on the height and beam distribution and distance from a certain station among the number of stationsa covering the geographical area. Furthermore, wind turbine stations move at a speed that is similar to the speed of a car (between about zero and 80 miles per hour in their flood). Compatibility with existing electronic communications systems is a significant advantage because when new telecommunications systems are put into service, investment in user equipment is always the largest part of the total investment required.
In comparison with the high level of distribution and cost of new orbit satellite systems, the present invention offers a cheaper option that does not require new subscriber equipment. Therefore, the advantage of the SNS system is the development of an SNS network messaging system that is compatible with single-use and bi-directional devices present and already in use with tower-based transmission network systems. Even without expecting to be taken into use
SNS system, market analysts predict that 35 million users will deliver bi-directional devices for the year 2003. For example, $ 100 / unit, it shows an investment of more than $ 3.5 billion. The users can receive an improved distribution of the intelligent SNS networks, which extend the existing service simply by choosing to pay monthly and increased usage fees. There is no pre-cost for new user equipment or training and no need to change the user's custom and burden them with more than one device or other communications device as is the case with the existing satellite device.
Furthermore, the intelligent SNS system, when it performs advanced messaging, uses communications protocols or protocols for international calls that are being broadcast. The international potential for the new system is at least equal to the possibilities in the United States. The SNS system can also use other popular protocols for messaging. The system also has the use of other communications beyond personal messaging, remote access, infrared scanning, tracking equipment and weather information collection services.
It will also be useful for the United States Weather Center (NWS) to consider using this SNS invention as a renewal system that provides NWS with the information it needs while stopping the SNS stop. GPS information available from the SNS station could provide the window information that NWS requests but can not afford. The existing NWS shotstations could even be used as locations for SNS shots, tracking and telecommunications. After the rises and shipment of weather to NWS, the station would be controlled to float at a controlled height and to offer other telecommunications services. NWS explorer could be remotely connected and released as a ballast after the risk has been completed and the requested information has been sent to NWS.
The intelligent SNS network is uniquely designed to cover large areas and to use the assigned frequency at national level, and if everything is to be done, internationally, cross-border borders. It is useful to allocate on a national basis, and if it were all the best, it would be preferable to the global frequency of the SNS system because of the large distribution circuits of each SNS wind turbine station. The sharper use of the same frequency without time-labeling in the signals would most likely cause interference to the receiver. The system will most advantageously operate within a range of frequencies called a public telecommunication service or "NPCS" spectrum. Furthermore, the NPCS industry in the US has generally agreed on standard two-to-eight communications called ReFLEX "(ReFLEX is the trademark of Motorola, Inc.). ReFLEX is a protocol that uses a protocol for TDMA time-sharing. The ReFLEX communication rules are an extension of the FLEX protocols designed by Motorola and are synchronized protocols, with 128 frames in a four-minute circle. The start of each frame is synchronized at national level by using GPS technology for timing. This allows one frequency to be shared between the SNS network of the present invention and satellite networks on the ground by simply allocating a certain number of frames to each network during each four-minute circle. As a result, the SNS system can either operate on its own dedicated frequencies or interact with satellite systems on the ground on the same channel and never send on top of each other.
Although the TDMA system is used by the preferred FLEX and ReFLEX communication rules, it can also work by using other systems such as CDMA and CDMA, and even FDMA frequencies. The code division of multiple access distributes data that has been placed in digital form over all available bandwidth. A number of data streams are placed on top of each other on the channel (sometimes referred to as RF Distribution Technology) with each stream of assigned individual serial codes. Although the unique serial code can provide highly efficient bandwidth usage, it is still very complex and costly. The FDMA system assigns its own frequencies to each data stream. Even though this provides a system that is relatively easy to implement and low costs from the point of view of equipment, it still results in highly inefficient use of bandwidth
ReFLEX has 128 separate time slots or frames in a four-minute period. The SNS system can use its own frequencies, or it can share time slots with the attached callers. The TDMA system used by ReFLEX provides efficient use of bandwidth. It has some complications and related equipment costs. However, the complexion continues to be easier to handle with high speed processors and the cost of equipment continues to decrease.
At one frequency, the timescales or frames 128 that the ReFLEX communication rules break into every four-minute circle can be shared by the SNS system with other landlines and earth towers that may overlap the geographic area of attraction. One Pagerank may be able to receive broadcast from a number of stations and towers on the ground, but because each station or tower with adjacent dragging areas is assigned a special frame or special frame, the phone message will only be heard in one station in each time slot. It is a feature of the present invention to provide a combination of electronic communications stations which can be dynamically assigned new frames to be transmitted while the station is running to ascertain whether bidders receive sends from only one sender in the same frame.
It is also a feature of the present invention that the timing may be dynamically redistributed so that at any given time or location, one station may have a greater number of available time slots than others to offer higher capacity to other stations that may require higher capacity. A sharp frame allocation (or dynamic allocation of capabilities) is a complex task. At what time more frames are assigned to one station, all other stations that have crossed a distribution area at this one station lose access to the assigned grids, thereby losing capacity. However,
Also, even though ReFLEX two-to-eight broadcasting protocols using TDMA as described above are preferred, it is also a feature of the present invention that SNS may also be compatible with other protocols. For example, cover three other main protocols across FLEX, POCSAG, and ERMES. The FLEX communication rules are the one-way messaging system that is the predecessor of ReFLEX. POCSAG's senior messaging standard for single-line communications and is not as effective. However, most US devices are compatible with POCSAG, even though FLEX is more resistant to noise, higher throughput, and is becoming the standard in US and overseas (outside of Europe) for one-way broadcasting. ERMES messaging protocols are the standard for single-policy invitations in Europe (currently enforced by government).
In comparison with most voice and messaging systems, where many different protocols are used across broad spectrum, NPCS includes almost adjacent groups of frequencies at national level where PCB licensees have incorporated the FLEX / ReFLEX protocols.
The intelligent, intelligent SNS system benefits from the stability of frequencies and protocols at national level, so it can work relatively easily across all NPCS channels owned by any or all licensees, if necessary. The government's minimum regulatory regime for NPCS frequencies also allows the SNS system, which was unknown when the NPCS rules were written, to operate at NPCS frequencies without violating existing rules. Since the NPCS license almost exclusively purchased the purchased auctions, and the intelligent SNS system can use the same frequencies with the permission of the buyer in a compatible manner, additional FCC licenses may not be required. This unique feature saves two to three years at a startup time, which can sometimes be sought for separate licenses.
As discussed briefly above, in addition to minimizing regulatory barriers, the new SNS network has great advantages in such a way that it does not require new, specialized user equipment. It is estimated that it could be as much as between 6-15 million units of compatible user equipment operating on existing networks on the planet. They can simply be added to the new SNS system using cheap programming of the system, thus receiving expanded, more comprehensive, dispersion of adjacent geographic areas offered by a group of floating telecommunications stations according to the present invention. For the NPCS carrier wave, the new system can offer total distribution, especially distribution in remote areas outside the metropolitan area.
As existing and existing proprietary proprietors could get an expanded distribution area offered by the present invention through their existing carrier wave, the decision to expand the distribution area can be as simple as a check box on a monthly account. They could keep current broadcasting companies, and simply added to the benefits of remote distributions offered by SNS. No new equipment is needed and no start time is needed to learn about personal characteristics of new electrical equipment. It simply adds a distribution area for the user without changing equipment.
A very important benefit of the intelligent SNS network is a significant improvement in the geographic distant geographical area. Today, wireless broadcasting is spreading distant areas for urban areas, especially around metropolitan areas. The SNS network operates in cooperation with existing districts and fills the rural areas, and therefore, low-traffic areas use the same subscriber equipment. Regulations that govern NPCS systems require minimal system enhancement for all licenses. For example, in 1999, licensees offering NPSS nationwide will be serving at least 37.5% of the US population or 750,000 square kilometers, and for 2004, NPCS licensees will be serving at least 75% of the US population or 1,500,000 square kilometers. Because the population is very dense, previous systems have to build turf for distribution over a very small percentage of the total landmass. in fact, corresponds to the minimum area requirements for 1999 and for 2004 service requirements for the population to approximately 8% and 16% of the total US landmass, respectively, for urban areas in US cities. For example, a distribution system for 90% of the population, the licensee needs to utilize only about 20% of the country's total land mass. A service area in rural areas is more expensive for previous systems, as a turntable / turntable device has short queues that require much more equipment for each potential customer. As a result, few previous licensees have a system that covers more than 90% of the population due to diminished earnings. Many well-placed licensees for wireless data use only about 70% -80%.
The present invention is designed to offer almost 100% distribution and can be interconnected in a compatible manner with other systems or networks for wireless transmission so that the density of utilization of previous migration systems shows a geographic urban area and the thoughtful SNS system for a rural or remote area wherever could be located within adjacent geographic areas. The SNS system is a supplement for high density tendencies. Therefore, even though the SNS system has less capacity for handling signals when compared to a local area network, it offers geographic distribution so that subscribers traveling or traveling through remote areas are provided with additional deployment systems with the additional distribution of the SNS system. Subscribers are always within the scope of the messenger service or other compatible telecommunications services using one device. The SNS system can also reset capacity on a regular basis by shooting more SNS stations or by re-launching the frequency of frequencies among neighboring stations.
The SNS system also uses excess personal messaging for other communications that include speech, remote imagery, infrared scanning, tracking of equipment, and data retrieval services. Breiöbands PCS (BPCS) phones that have been launched in the last year offer any advanced messaging service called SMS service. SNS could call a subscriber when the phone was outside the BPCS telephone service area. BPCS voice service could also be an option with an SNS system. Another possible use for SNS technology is the remote imaging market. The government, urban organizers, environmentalists, cartographers, and real estate designers rely on aerial photographs or satellite imagery. Worldwide, this market is over $ 1.4 billion. Since the SNS is more than 20 times the subject exceeds the satellite, SNS can achieve one-meter resolution only with a lens that is 0.75 in diameter. Weather data from a long stay in the heath can be collected and sent to the SNS station, as current weather conditions are not able to maintain flood.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Preferred embodiment of the present invention is a group of small wind-powered telecommunications stations with ground-based networks having shot-scanning and telecommunications stations. Although overall systems are described, in particular, communications in the form of messenger services, other communications such as voice communications, emergency services, search and rescue, emergency medical services, remote imaging, environmental monitoring, industrial and service monitoring, remote asset management, image data, IR scanning , shunting equipment, shuttles and shipment shuttles, automotive safety, personal safety, hazardous materials, security related customs and international transport, child safety, animal shedding, personal messaging, disability communications, surveillance and data collection (SCADA) freight transport and cargo handling and many other adapted communications could easily be included. As used here, communication over traditional one-to-one communications and also new advanced messaging services (one-and-one-eight communications and voice communications). A group of wind turbine telecommunications systems and ground support systems expand the limited distribution of existing networks for communications in order to offer a full-range distribution system. For example, in the United States, it really offers distribution at national level. The systems based on existing towers already offer distribution to buildings needed in urban areas, while the SNS system offers distribution in rural areas, rural areas. As a result, subscribers can have a distribution network at national level using the same mobile device. Hugvitsama system does this by offering a group of equal opportunities,
To form a group of windscreen telecommunications stations, transmitter transmitters are mounted on lighter-than-air carrier devices, such as high altitude belts similar to those used by the United States Weather Observatory (NWS), yet modified to offer controlled height adjustment devices by use methods such as gas aeration and ballast suspension. The lighter-than-air carrier or the bellows and is connected to a remote switching device that has been referred to in this application as a hi-tech nano-radio station (SNS stations). For distribution in adjacent continental areas in the United States, SNS stations can be regularly monitored on a regular basis or as needed from about 50 to 100 locations throughout the United States. These shooting spots can be selected to pop up bell-borne transmitters to rise into controlled floods in the heath field, which is approximately 60,000 to 140,000 feet. Computer-controlled height control and computerization are used. SNS stations are controlled to maintain the ideal height within the predetermined platform, such as, for example, in the heath field over the Earth while operating with wind currents present. New SNS stations can be shot up to fill in holes that can form in the distribution area, as the stations operate at different speeds, when they lose power or when they sometimes burst or fail. New SNS stations can also be launched to offer additional telecommunications services, if necessary. SNS recently-shot stations can collect, record and send weather data during the rush to a controlled height. Such data could be routinely transmitted via radio broadcast to the ground for use by the United States Weather Service (NWS). The process of making a model and thus predicting the distribution of SNS's network on a continuous basis is a complicated task due to weather conditions that are constantly changing. This task is facilitated by using the weather data collected and / or transmitted to the ground to predict the movement of single stations relative to each other and relative to ground stations and grounding stations. This data can also be used to control the height of single SNS stations to capture favorable prevailing winding to help close the streets in distribution.
Support for the ground for a number of SNS stations that form the group consisting of at least one networking center (NOC) and number of switching stations and detection stations, NOC is preferably high-speed, high-volume, data processing, telecommunications and control center for the SNS system. The NOC may be in charge of all administrative aspects of flight and management of each SNS station. This management covers shots at the station, fleet, tracking, all communications, and shipments, and communications with affiliated companies. Usually, the SNS Earthquakes cover crossing points, tracking and telecommunications equipment and telecommunications networks. Integrated landfills and geothermal sites can also be in a beneficial way in communication with existing locations around seventy-eight NWS buoys designed to monitor weather conditions at national level. Similar weather stations are also available and are maintained by international agreements around the world. These sites can be automatic. Portable or mobile shots and tracking stations can also be used when required to fill in holes that are expected to be formed between circular overlap patterns at the distribution of the fleet stations. These portable or mobile launchers and grounding rails can be moved seasonally to offer additional shooting spots, as the winds of the hills change seasonally. They would most likely be located along the shoreline or on the periphery of the distribution area. The ground stations can efficiently track the number of SNS stations floating near their location, and can offer distinction and distinction for all communications, including delivery and management data, to each station within the center's center. Invitations to subscribe to a subscription can be sent to the SNS system through NOC. NOC determines which SNS station is over the appropriate device and sends the message message to the ground station that is traced to the SNS station. The ground station receives the NOC message transmission and sends to the SNS station. The SNS station then sends the message message down to the single message device. Any message sent with a two-to-one message device is received by the nearest SNS station and sent down to the ground station. Earth Station sends the message to NOC, which sends the message to the appropriate Subscribers. NOC maintains all tariffs information and information about the subscriber's location. The SNS system is ideally designed to be fully compatible with FLEX (one-to-one messenger) and also ReFLEX (two-eight devices) without changing the messaging. Shots, whether integrated with NWS shots or separately located at other locations on the ground, can consist of a fully automated shooting and grounding station. One earth station can control a large number of SNS stations at a time. Landlines, satellite connections, station-to-terminals, pod-to-belts, or other telecommunications network connections from one location on the ground to another can be used to connect multiple shooting points and ground stations to each other or at NOC.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Figure 1 shows a diagram of part of a group and telecommunications network 10 according to the present invention, in which winded stations 12 (a) - (g) have reached the desired height within the platform, as in the heath. Also shown is a wind turbine station 12 (h) in the process to rise to the height chosen. Each wind turbine system consists of a lighter than air gas tank 14 (a) - (h), control and communication equipment for stations 16 (a) - (b) and antennae 18 (a) - (b). Telecommunication signals between stations and ground stations are shown diagrammatically in 20 (a) - (u) in telecommunications to a number of ground terrestrial equipment, such as telecommunications terminal receivers, transmitters, transmitters, or message devices 22 (a) - (u). There are a number of shots and scanning stations 24 (a) - (d), each having a plurality of scanning grids 26 (a) - (g). Earth stations send forward messages and management data between the SNS stations and NOC. Preferably, the geothermal power stations can operate uncontrollably and require only electricity and telecommunications signals. The ground stations consist of a series of transmitters and receivers and their control systems, tracking and control systems, in excess of electronic communications with NOC, and spare parts. To accommodate possible stations within the area of withdrawal at any given time, four to six separate transmitters, receivers and tracking networks are expected. Glenayre offers decent send, control transmitters and receivers in the market for SNS sites, although some small changes will be necessary. The shaving cloak 26 is shown with a diagram in communications with different stations through the signals 28 (a) - (g). Geothermal Networks 30, with interconnected portions 30 (a) - (d) are shown in telecommunications between bulletin boards and tracking stations 24 (a) - (d) and networking center 40. The networking center 40 may also be in communication with a plurality of bullets and scanning stations 24 through satellite 42 at orbital and satellite telecommunications networks 38 (a) - (b) and satellite radio networking network 42. For purposes of explanation, a launcher and tracking station 24 (c) are aligned with a wind turbine station 44 similar to the United States weather forecast. One aspect of the invention may also design a movable trawl and tracking station 46, such as for example a self-contained unit attached to a trailer of a trailer. The portable trawl can be moved to the desired shooting location, sheltered and additional SNS stations can be installed.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged diagram showing a portable SNS trawl 46 of Fig. 1, shown with explanations associated with stations 12 (f), 12 (g) and 12 (e) forming part of the group of stations. The portable SNS cable is in communication with the network power center 40. Further shown in Figure 2, there is a desired height 50 defined by the minimum desired height 48 and the maximum desired height 52, which height is measured by sea level
54. In one preferred embodiment, a predetermined range of heights is defined with a minimum desirable height of approximately 60,000 feet and a maximum desired height of about 140,000 feet. These heights correspond generally to the ground of the Earth or to the height of the hip 50. Further shown in Figure 2 is a hole of distribution 56 between separate platform platforms 12 (g) and 12 (e) represented by a diagram as a separated distance 56 which is significantly greater but desirably separating the distance 58 between stops 12 (f) and 12 (g). In a further preferred embodiment, it is expected that the stations will be controlled to float within a predetermined height of between about 70,000 ft and 100,000 ft, will have a diffusion radius measuring about 175 miles (280 km) will be above the commercially-controlled airspace and will be below the hills as the survival of the station is less secure. When the distance between the two adjacent stations is greater, in any direction, but about one and a half times the radius distribution, a hole in a dispersion can begin to form. In such cases, either an additional SNS station can be deployed from a fixed shot point or capable of moving a movable scoring unit 46 on the ground to a location substantially between the two separate stations 12 (g) and 12 (e) that an additional add-on 12 (h) can be shot in a fast shot at the desired height 50. A computer model based on the tracking of all stations 12 in group 10 of wind turbine stations can be used to predict the development of a large street in distribution and to quickly launch a few shoe units to fill the streets. With the occurrence of a fixed shooting and tracking station, when properly located to pop up an additional SNS station, there would not be a removable unit.
Figure 3 shows with a diagram of station 12 (i) which is transmitted due to wind currents to the delivery location 12 (ii) shown by fracture lines. At the point of delivery, the ground terminal 24 (s) takes over the rail and rail and keeps control while the station moves through 12 (iii) and across the terminal 24 (e).
Figure 4 is a diagram of the telecommunications terminal of the following consignments to ground terminals and to network power stations (NOC).
Figure 5 is a diagram of the satellite-to-geim communications network to provide network connection to the networking center (NOC). This is economical because this can reduce or drop a number of ground stations, as the stations would have direct contact with the NOC through satellite connections.
Figure 6 is a diagram of the "divider box and spat" topology of Internet telecommunications connections. This is economical because it requires fewer fixed telecommunications lines and generally requires cheaper equipment than other top-level networking.
Figure 7 is a diagram of mesh topology of Internet communications. This is advantageous because "mesh" topology provides a large number of excess telecommunications connections to other parts of the network, adding to increased reliability.
Figure 8 shows a diagram of adjacent geographical area 100, and more specifically, with an example of geographical area corresponding to the United States. Depending on the geographical area 100, 70 are selected as standard shots, which are marked with "X-um"
101 -105 (only get an example numbered). Further illustrated by diagrams, the geographical area 201-205 (again, only examples are numbered) which represent the location and distribution of each of the 101-105 stations when they reach the controlled height desired, preferably in the heath. Each station is very small compared to the satellites present on the earthquake orbit so that they have been referred to and designed to float at the controlled height in the hollow so that they have been referred to as "hip nano nets" (SNS). Distribution zones 201-205 are shown in Figure 4, assuming a vertical vertical angle from the shots 101-105. The districts 201-205 will move over time, due to the wind and other times of life in a certain place. However, the rice rises to the height of the pelvis desired for one to two hours, such as a normal air velocity less than about 10-20 miles per hour and even moving through a jet stream if there is a relatively small stretch that is 10 to 80 miles in any direction while a giant stands. Therefore, approximately 175-mile (280 km), the radius of distribution has a radius of approximately 350 miles (560 km) radius, which is a short period of time with normal wind conditions of 10-40 miles, giving rise to indicate that the shooting area is appropriate for the starting position at high altitude at the end of the riots.
The stations or balloons 12 are provided with a height control device comprising both low density gas and a device for releasing the high density ballast which the ball has to be controlled to maintain the desired height within the desired range. The height can be maintained for approximately 12-24 hours, corresponding to the current current schedule of NWS belts that are two shots a day. If the NWS schedule is not used, the height of the ball can be maintained for more than 100 hours, depending on the lifting power, energy and ballast remaining in the 12th floor. In the case of the NWS belt, the belts today are eliminating themselves because of overheating when they reach and exceed 100,000 feet, and weather data is collected and sent to the ground during a giant. in the case of telecommunications terminals operated by telecommunications operators, the stations must be kept at a height which is preferably less than 140,000 feet. And more preferably less than about 100,000 feet and will continue to move due to wind conditions in the upper hemisphere. The NOC can appoint an SNS station to quickly expel air or burst in case of box 12, when it is no longer needed, it falls below 60,000 feet, and no ballast remains, runs it over an undesirable area, or it fails. The station could start this process if any of these conditions are present and that the station has lost contact with the ground. Advantageously, wind conditions will have been detected while the rice was in progress and will continue to be monitored at ground level tracking. This will make it easier to predict the formation of any street that could be expected,
Figure 9 is a diagram of a geographical area of 100 after a given transport period, and during that time significant holes can begin to form. Portable units can be positioned with temporary shotpoints 171 and 172 to fill those spaces 56 (b) and 56 (c) that are formed. Also, since a range is estimated to be close to a traditional shot, such as, for example, at 105, an additional station may be shot from a shot 105 ahead of the usual regular period of time. As a result, hole 56 (c) can be filled with additional bulkhead. Similarly, you can use local moving shotpoints to fill the holes when they occur. In the event of a pattern of hole formation, additional fixed shots 173 and 174 may be added to assist in compensating for repeated formation in streets 56 (d) and 56 (e), for example.
Figure 10 shows a diagram of elevation seen from the side of station 12 in a display showing low density gas 70 is preferably a latex ball 70. Totex 1000 ball filled with hydrogen, helium, natural gas or other suitable low density gas or mixture and coated inside reducing flow adequately provides lifting for the SNS telecommunications terminal. The Totex belt is released with a diameter of about five and one-fourth feet, extending to approximately twenty-four feet across to 140,000 feet. It will be reported that other lighter-than-air containers, such as lorries, belgium, aircraft, airships, aircraft, weather belts, jimsphere belgium, balloons, balloons, weather belts could also be used in lieu of latex 70's proposal, a diagram shown in Figure 10. Also, the diameter of the bell 70 on Fig. 10 is not on scale, and the total weight of the station, including the cargo box 300, the height control air conditioning device 72, the weather package 82, the antenna 76 and the weather jacket 84, is expected. The cable 84 is an optical conductor cable with a length of about 25 meters so that the weather data collection package 82 is sufficiently remote 70 to minimize the effect of turbulence the ball may cause on weather data that the weather package 82 measures. The optical fiber cable 84 is used to send the weather data from the weather package 82 to the telecommunications unit 74. A fiber-optic cable is used as a wire could form a light beam due to a high power field when it passes through a thunder cloud. antenna 76 and weather cable connector 84. Preferably, the cable 84 is a conductor cable having a length of about 25 meters so that the weather data collection pack 82 is sufficiently distant 70 to minimize the effects of turbulence the ball may cause on weather data the weather package 82 is.

There are a number of types of low density gas storage equipment, and especially belts, which may be regarded as useful for the present invention. Among the possible preferred types of belts are rubber pressure belts, zero pressure belts, belts with internal air bladder, adjustable volumes and super pressure belts. Each of these belts has different advantages and disadvantages and, prior to the use of the present invention, it has been found that the rubber pressure belts are most preferred and the zero pressure belts are also considered as an optimal option. In a useful manner, such belts 14 can be coated on the surface, preferably inside, as shown in Figure 10, with impregnating agent, such as liquid detergent condensation which is most flexible during use.
The rubber pressure belts have an elastic rubber membrane that contains the vacuum shaft that allows the bellows to grow as external air pressure decreases as the bell rises. This is the most common type of weather bubble and is also comparable to a feather blister. The main option is low cost and easy access so that high quality belts like these, such as weather belts, are available at low cost. These bones are more jumps and they have fine handling requirements and also low elongated reliability. In addition, the use of such belts requires the vacuum to prevent explosion from reaching the maximum volume.
Zero pressure belts consist of a loose inner bag, usually made of plastic such as polyethylene or Mylar. As the outer air pressure decreases, the volume of the bag increases. When the bag reaches its full volume, gas must be vented otherwise the bubble will burst when the material in the bag is not elastic. Although this type of belts can be more reliable than rubber belts and offer less flow to the lift, it is medium expensive, more expensive than rubber belts, and today between four to ten times more expensive. Therefore, although the rubber bell could be more preferable in the case of a cheaper check, the zero pressure bell offers a usable tank for lifting the station and has certain advantages over the rubber pressure bellows.
Belgians with an internal air bladder consist of an elastic bell which contains air sealed in a solid volume bellows container. The air is pumped into the inner elastic belt that compresses the vacuum gas contained within the fixed volume belt, thereby reducing the overall lift. Airship adjusts lifting with this law. This type of belts has certain advantages as there is no loss of lifting capacity when the lift is lessened and may be more reliable than rubber belts, yet it is more expensive due to the extra belts, pump and extra power to operate the lift and decrease in the lifting gear.
Containers with adjustable volumes consist of a fixed volume containing the vacuum shaft and a mechanical method of reducing the volume of the belly. By reducing the volume, the vacuum shaft is compressed and the lift decreases. The volume can be reduced by several routes, including adjustable line within the belly from the neck of the belly to the upper part of the podium. When the line is shortened, the volume decreases. The lifting fan is not aired to reduce lifting and can be more reliable than rubber belts. However, it is much more costly due to the volume reduction of the mechanical equipment, and more energy needs to be used to operate such mechanical equipment.
Oxygen pressure belts have a fixed volume. They are called high pressure belts because they do not expand to level the decreasing external pressure. They are built to strong enough to maintain increased pressure. The Belgians can achieve very long life because they do not have to vent gas to prevent them from bursting and they usually have very little membrane flow. This type of belts is deepest, though one of the most reliable with low loss of lifting capacity. Extremely high costs and difficulties in manufacturing and the lack of advanced technology in terms of such belts, suggests that other benefits are now more attractive.
The signal transmission antenna 76 is output from the telecommunication device 74 and preferably vertically down from the telecommunication device 74 and preferably a co-linear array adjusted by approximately 6 degrees tilt to provide even distribution of transmission and reception across the entire distribution range. The antenna Π can be conveniently offered with a support bar 86 to facilitate interference between the antenna and the meteorological interface 84. Also shown in Fig. 10 is a deletion device 78 for the pod and parachute 80 for recovery of the telecommunications device 74 when the pod is destroyed by the controlled destruction means 78 or otherwise due to normal causes.
Figure 11 shows a portion of the cross-sectional view of a single embodiment of a communications device 74 in accordance with the present invention. It is a cargo box 300 which covers inner container 302 and outer foamed insulation 304 surrounding the inner container 302. Within the container 302, the electrical circuit 306 of which different electrical equipment is attached and connected to provide signaling and remote control at the station as required. The electrical equipment component consists of RF parts, antennae, GPS receiver, power supply and power supply. The RF component is based on cheap transmissions and receiver parts of existing two-way radios. The power to the transmission is increased to approximately 7 watts. One 900 MHz co-ordinated dual-dip galaxy serves both transmission and reception functions. Possible frequencies include the 400 MHz or 1680MHZ band assigned for meteorological equipments. If the SNS system also collects weather data for NWS and this data is sent to the meteorological help band, it may be possible to send additional intermediate traffic with meteorological data. Twelve-way GPS receiver in connection with the transducer provides information on location to both the NWS and the SNS NOC all flight. NOC uses the information to locate SNS stations, to determine holes or holes in the distribution area, and to make base positions on location by changing the height into favorable wind velocity and directions.

The display shown in FIG. 11 and its sectional side views, as shown in FIG. 12, shows the power for the telecommunications device 74 provided by a plurality of lightweight power cells 308 (a), (b), (c) and (d). The station required between three to eighteen feet of power depending on the message traffic and installation of the station. Lithium sulfur dioxide (LÍ502) batteries are cost-effective in terms of cost and weight, and have acceptable operating characteristics, low temperature temperatures, as found at high altitudes. The batteries are located at separate variable locations so that the maximum density of unit volume is below the maximum density of unit volume according to the requirements of the International Safety Standards. The low density of unit volume retains the bulk of the balloon from being restricted by FAA rules. For example, to help keep the station safer while it rises. A floating group telecommunications system according to claim 1, wherein each of said stations will preferably be free from unobstructed balloon and cargo and its contents will preferably have a total weight of six pounds or less. Survival will have a predetermined flat profile and the weight and size ratio will preferably be maintained at no more than three ounces per square inch on any surface of the box and on the meteorological package where one is attached to the station. The percentage of weight and size is determined by dividing the total weight in the ounces of any cargo or packing with the free balloon with the area in four of the smallest outer load of such cargo or parcel.

In the cargo box 300 terminal is a bottom stop 310 through which the meteorological interface 84 is connected to a releasable cable link 312 to the circuit board 306 inside the container 302. Also, the antenna 76 is connected to the antenna terminal 314 located at the bottom opening 310 so that it can be received or transmit signals through the antenna 76 to and from the circuit board 306. The meteorological data from the optical fiber cable 84 can be received and processed in units on the circuit board 306 and transmitted to the ground 24 through antenna 76. To facilitate the easy release of the meteorological package with accidental stroke, the light-emitting diverter will be separated from belts by a stroke of fifty pounds or less. Active antenna stations 316 are offered to reduce and dampen the motion of antenna 76 to achieve continuous reception of signal and transmission. In order to facilitate the management of the height of the wind turbine of the station 12 and attach to the telecommunications unit 74, the cargo box 300 extends over the cell to the ballast store 320 where the ballast 318 is drilled. Ballast 318 is preferably a lead ball which is easily portable, a metal BB shot or a global glass bead that can control a fence ballast fence, such as a shuttle, which moves selectively between the opening in the ballast 320 and then the opening 324 for an outlet so that the ballast can fall from the bottom of the hole 319, as shown by a diagram at 326. For convenience and to prevent energy storage during storage or transport, a manual switching circuit for the circuit is offered.
On top of the cargo box 300 is a binder pin 330, with a distal hemisphere 332, over which the flexible bushing 334 is connected. The belts connection has a size for connection across the spindle and is stretched down to the stop rim 336 so that it is secured by one or more heavy rubber spikes 388. For convenience, the rubber yarn storage tube 340 is offered below the stop rim. Rubber stools are stored and located to attach a "fresh", lighter-than-air tank or bellows 70. Preferably, bellows 70 will be filled with helium (He), hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) or natural gas through a light gas filling valve 344 which is preferably located above the rain hood 342 which protects the cargo box and its parts from rain and other rainfall. The light gas filling cap 344 offers convenient connection to a light gas filling tank such as a helium or hydrogen filling tank so that an expansive belt is connected through the neck 334 to the spindle 330 and can then lead the amount of filler gas desired in the connected tank or the belt . Pressure sensor 346 for gas passes between the inner spindle barrel to monitor the internal pressure gas pressure meter connected to the electrical device on the circuit board. Gas temperature meter 350 is connected and is preferably located at or above the upper part of the neck 332. Temperature measurement wire 352 transmits a temperature signal to the appropriate circuit at the electrode surface 306. The ambient temperature thermometer 354 is also desirably offered, as well as a pressure gauge 356, both of which are connected to transmit the measured ambient temperature and measured ambient air pressure to the circuit board. Battery temperature sensor 358, altimeter 360 and altimeter 362 can all be connected to the circuit board 306 desirably to provide remote control management information and inputs and to maintain the function of wind turbine stations 12 using the circuit 306. The data collected from the gas flowmeter 350 , indicate ambient temperature 354, gas pressure inlet 348, and ambient air pressure pressure 356 are used, in part, to determine if the bubble is close to the burst condition. Heating and cooling equipment 364 is connected to control the temperature inside the cargo box. While the windburst stations rise to high heights, the ambient temperature decreases substantially and the interior of the box will preferably be heated by heat generated by batteries or, alternatively, by the heater 364. If the heat from the batteries is significant and interacts with, for example, bright sunlight, internal temperatures could rise above the desirable operating temperature range. The heating and cooling equipment can be an electric heater. bright sunlight, internal temperatures could rise above the desirable operating temperature range. The heating and cooling equipment can be an electric heater. bright sunlight, internal temperatures could rise above the desirable operating temperature range. The heating and cooling equipment can be an electric heater.
for the purpose of controlling the height of the pod and, more specifically, preventing steady rises above the maximum height selected is the lightweight gas discharge valve 366. Gormur 368 maintains the discharge valve normally closed. Activation rod 369 is attached to valve 366 and to actuator wire 370 valve to open valve against gorm load. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) wire can be used as power cord 370. A light gas discharge valve 366 opens up against the gorse charge when a small amount of current is flowed through the NiTi wire, which causes it to shrink, allowing lighter-than-air gas to let go out. The actuator can pass through the upper part of the container 302, preferably through the seal 371, so that the inner part of the container is not exposed to the natural forces. Similarly, the ballast closure gate 322 can be actuated with a ballast ballast activation wrench 372, which is also made of (NiTi). The active stand 316 for the antenna can similarly consist of NiTi wire.
Logic wireline cord 374 can also be NiTi and can be used to disconnect the weather after the data is no longer collected. Usually, clogging bumps after they exceed 100,000 feet. Here, the bell will release some of the gas to stay at the heirloom height for the desired period. The destruction machine 78 can be activated with a remote control with a sharp end of 378 on a rotating arm of the destruction arm to cause the station to fall. Destructive arm 376 is worm-tight for quick rotation for contact with the outer load of the belts when holding / dropping pin 386 is pulled out of position in hold / drop track. The release pin 386 can be conveniently controlled by control wire 388 also actively actuated through the circuit board upon receipt of a remote signal through antenna 76 or from the device. Also available inside the station is a GPS antenna 390 connected to the circuit board for receiving location information from the GPS satellite system to facilitate shunting at the station as it moves and flows over adjacent geographic areas of distribution.
FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional side view of another embodiment of the station according to the present invention, wherein the electrical energy for the communications channel and control device is a power source 400. The efficient phase can be a proton proton (PEM) chemical generator of the type that uses hydrogen and oxygen to provide electrical energy. This type of system requires a hydrogen tube connected to a hydrogen source, i.e., a lighter than a belt 70 to a vacuum 400. Hydrogen inlet 404 is provided with a hydrogen circulation system, which can simply be fan 406. Therefore, using a hydrogen pipe, hydrogen can be drawn from the bell and the input into the 400 well. Also, there is hydrogen extract 408 which is reused to the bell. The pressure pipe for hydrogen pipes 410 is provided for appropriately monitoring the partial pressure of hydrogen in the chemical reservoir. A source of this type also requires an oxygen source which can be provided by attaching oxygen bubble 414 to oxygen tube 412 such that the oxygen bubble is within the hydrogen bubble reservoir. The oxygen bubble is built to keep the oxygen at a significant internal pressure. This oxygen bell 414 can be connected to tube 412 with a rubber bend 416 and oxygen pump 418 moves and the oxygen continues through oxygen bubble 414 into the drug through oxygen inlet 420. On the other hand, for controlling the process, an oxygen pressure regulator 422 is provided. The reaction of the biphasic agent results in water as a side media. The water is kept in liquid form with the heat generated from the chemical reservoir and dried up before it can freeze at the high altitude that the plant works.

The 430 receiver receives an electrical signal input and provides an outlet for the electrical signal, interacts with a plurality of parts both for controlling the flood, temperature, destruction of belgium, ballast fever, etc. at the station and also to receive, process and send telecommunications signals received and sent to and from ground stations, communications equipment from individuals or other information communications. At the beginning, field 432 controls either 308 or 400 battery. Field 434 denotes on / off switch 328 to enable power to power supply power 436 with output for available power 438. For explanation, individual power connections to different operating systems and controls have not been shown in all cases. Energy is provided to the transformer of the receiver in box 440 and the power supply panel in box 442, which provides information analogue to digital converter 444. Converter from analogue to digital also takes various forms of information from the cargo and thermometer battery power pack in box 446, both reading for gas temperature and ambient temperature are usually in box 448 and gas pressure in box 450. Additional analogue signals are usually represented by box 452. Digitally modified information is provided to and received from the flash memory in box 454 and the RAM (RAM) in box 456. From A / D changes 444 and also from the flash memory 456, the user has access to all the different managed management data. While the SNS station rises, takes the meteorological package, denoted by box 458, against appropriate weather data, including ambient temperature 460, environmental pressure 462, and environmental noise 464. Stage of the antenna 316 represented by box 496 can be based on information from the height sensor that is part of the SNS station's control system at 466 to stop the antenna 76. Information sensed or collected by the meteorological package 458 is transmitted. For example, the infrared transmitter 468 through the optical conductor jacket in box 470 corresponding to the physical conductor cap 84 and the output of the infrared transmitter 472, including meteorological data is transmitted to the transducer for appropriate transmission to the ground while the SNS station's risen with the meteorological packet 548 is attached. GPS antenna field 474, corresponds to physical GPS antenna 390, communicates via GPS receiver 476, indicated as serial port and more synchronized with GPS clock or tens of seconds in box 478. Therefore, location is specified at certain times of the operation. This location information is coordinated with other meteorological posts to determine wind speed control on any part of the rice, thus comparing this wind velocity at specific heights and geographic locations while the rice is present.
Telecommunication is controlled by the 430, preferably using both signals from the 900 MHZ transmitter and the modem 480 and Gateway transmitters and modems 482 to and from the co-linear antenna assembly 484 are connected through the synchronization equipment of two 486 control information received in the co-linear antenna assembly 484, transmitted via the two-transmitter communication device and one of the relevant frequency transmitters to the 430's input input signal from ground signals and also from the input data from the inbox as requested via the A / D modifies 444, GPS location information from 476, GPS information about time 478 and information from altimeter 466, different functions of the SNS station can be controlled. Including gas gauge at box 488, corresponding to gas gaseous actuator 370. Also, ballast ballast is controlled in box 490, which corresponds to physical activator 372 for ballast ballast. Release of the meteorological packet controlled by box 492, corresponding to packet resolution 374. The control of destruction of the pod is shown in box 494 corresponding to destruction actuator 375. Antenna setting may be affected by control equipment at box 496, which corresponds to the aerial positioning device 316. Boiler temperature control, both for heating and cooling, can be controlled by box 498, which corresponds to heaters and coolers 364. An additional function that can be added is provided with control box 500.
