Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) is an enhancement to Global Positioning System that provides improved location accuracy, from the
15-meter nominal GPS accuracy to about 10 cm in case of the best implementations. Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) is a method of providing differential corrections to a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver in order to improve the accuracy of the navigation solution. DGPS corrections originate from a reference station at a known location. The receivers in these reference stations can estimate errors in the GPS because, unlike the general population of GPS receivers, they have an accurate knowledge of their position.
DGPS uses a network of fixed, ground-based reference stations to broadcast the difference between the positions indicated by the GPS (satellite) systems and the known fixed positions. These stations broadcast the difference between the measured satellite pseudoranges and actual (internally computed) pseudoranges, and receiver stations may correct their pseudoranges by the same amount. The digital correction signal is typically broadcast locally over ground-based transmitters of shorter range.
It depicts the basic information about GPS technology and its various uses in engineering and other fields. May be useful for students of engineering and for presentation.
These applications fall into five :Location - determining a basic position Navigation - getting from one location to another Tracking - monitoring the movement of people/things Mapping - creating maps of the world Timing - bringing precise timing to the world

Brilliant Lecture delivered to me in Alagappa Engineering college Workshop.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite
based radio navigation system provided by the
United States Department of Defence. It gives
unequaled accuracy and flexibility in positioning
for navigation, surveying and GIS data collection.
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based navigation system that can provide people who use it with their exact position on Earth, tell them how to get to another location, how fast they are moving, where they have been, how far they have gone, what time it is. GPS was originally designed to help the U.S. military with finding the accurate location of their soldiers, vehicles, planes and ships around the world. Now, GPS is used in cellular phones, navigation and map making.
Space segmentsGPS satellites fly in medium Earth orbit (MEO) at an altitude of approximately 20,200 km (12,550 miles). Each satellite circles the Earth twice a day.The satellites in the GPS constellation are arranged into six equally-spaced orbital planes surrounding the Earth. Each plane contains four "slots" occupied by baseline satellites. This 24-slot arrangement ensures users can view at least four satellites from virtually any point on the planet.
The control segment
The control segment of the GPS system consists of a worldwide network of tracking stations.
The master control station (MCS) located in the United States at Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The primary task of the operational control segment is tracking the GPS satellites in order to determine and predict satellite locations, system integrity, behavior of the satellite atomic clocks, atmospheric data, the satellite almanac, and other considerations.
The User segment
The user segment includes all military and civilian users. With a GPS receiver connected to a GPS antenna, a user can receive the GPS signals, which can be used to determine his or her position anywhere in the world. GPS is currently available to all users worldwide at no direct charge.
How it work?When a GPS receiver is first turned on, it downloads orbit information from all the satellites called an almanac.Once this information is downloaded, it is stored in the receiver’s memory for future use. The GPS receiver calculates the distance from each satellite to the receiver by using the distance formula: distance = velocity x time.The receiver determines position by using triangulation. When it receives signals from at least three satellites the receiver should be able to calculate its approximate position (a 2D position). The receiver needs at least four or more satellites to calculate a more accurate 3D position. The position can be reported in latitude/longitude.
The two GPS codes are;-
Coarse acquisition (or C/A-code)
Precision (or P-code).
The C/A-code is modulated onto the L1 carrier only, while the P-code is modulated onto both the L1 and the L2 carriers. This modulation is called biphase modulation, because the carrier phase is shifted by 180° when the code value changes from zero to one or from one to zero.
Source of GPS error
Satellite clock errors: Caused by slight discrepancies in each satellite’s four atomic clocks. Errors are monitored and corrected by the Master Control Station.
Orbit errors:Satellite orbits.
The Presentation on "Global Positioning System" gives an insight on the segment of GPS, how the positioning system works, its advantages and disadvantages, applications and new innovations in the field.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

2. GPS Technology: Simplified
• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made
up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense.
• GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the
government made the system available for civilian use.
• GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.
• There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.
3. GPS Technology: Simplified (Contd.)
• Global Positioning System satellites transmit signals to equipment (receivers)
on the ground. GPS receivers passively receive satellite signals; they do not
transmit.
• GPS receivers require an unobstructed view of the sky
• Depend on a very accurate time reference, which is provided by atomic clocks
at the U.S. Naval Observatory. Each GPS satellite has atomic clocks on board.
• Each GPS satellite transmits data that indicates its location and the current
time.
• All GPS satellites synchronize operations so that these repeating signals are
transmitted at the same instant.
• The signals, moving at the speed of light, arrive at a GPS receiver at slightly
different times because some satellites are farther away than others.
• The distance to the GPS satellites can be determined by estimating the amount
of time it takes for their signals to reach the receiver.
• When the receiver estimates the distance to at least four GPS satellites, it can
calculate its position in three dimensions.
• There are at least 24 operational GPS satellites at all times. The satellites,
operated by the U.S. Air Force, orbit with a period of 12 hours.
5. GPS Access
1. Create a project Named “UseGps”
2. We need to add some permissions to use GPS and Internet
6. GPS Access
3. Now we need add a location listener, so each time the GPS senses a new location,
this callback function will be called from the android system.
To do this, we need to add the fallowing code in the onCreate() method:
7. GPS Access
4. We now have to create MyLocationListener class that implements LocationListener and
Implement methods for various events:
· onLocationChanged ( Location Update )
· onProviderDisabled ( GPS Off )
· onProviderEnabled (GPS On )
