Underwater acoustic navigation and position fixing systems have been extensively used not only in surface position fixing but also in underwater position fixing. Tn recently, application of these systems has been in the field of underwater inspection of offshore platforms, where it is vital to track the position of an unmanned submersible or diver carrying underwater cameras and nondestructive testing equipment. But these systems are included the fixing errors as results of a signal with additive noise, the attenuation of sound and the interference effects due to multipath reflection and forward scattering. In this paper to improve the position fixing by the supershort baseline acoustic position system, a method to apply the Kalman filter to the fix of the system is proposed and the digital simulation under noise condition is conducted. The optimal positions by the Kalman filter are compared with original positions, and it is confirmed that the results of the pro-posed method are evidently more accurate.

Underwater acoustic positioning systems have been extensively used not only in surface position fixing but also in underwater position fixing. Recently, these systems have been applied in the field of installation and underwater inspection offshore platforms etc. But in these systems are included the fixing errors as results of a signal with noise and irregular motion of vessel by ocean waves. In this paper to improve the accuracy of the position fixing a Kalman filter is applied to the short baseline(SBL) acoustic positioning system. The optimal position obtained by the Kalman filter is compared with the raw position and it is confirmed that the former is more accurate than the latter.

To improve the accuracy of the position fixing a Kalman filter is applied to the supershort baseline (SSBL) acoustic positioning system with beacon mode in noise conditions. The position data obtained by the Kalman filter is compared with raw position data and it is confirmed in the simulation that the former is more accurate than the latter. And an indicator monitoring the filtering effect is described while ship's moving.

The position fixing is the first essential in any offshore activity. At sea, position is almost always related to fixed points on land. The traditional method of the position fixing of a vessel is by double horizontal sextant angles observed between three fixed stations, plotted as a graphical resection using station pointers. Of recent, offshore fixing progresses in simple object of navigation and fishery, and it is tending to use and develop ocean and coast compositly. Therefore, we compared and analyzed deviation of fixed point for more accurate offshore fixing. This paper used only navigation instruments such as NNSS, Loran-C, Omega involved in long range and world wide among the methods of E. P. F. (Electromagnetic Position Fixing).

Position fixing is determined by triangulation, traverse surveying and astronomy surveying, However, when the station like a car move, it is impossible to determine the location of car. Satellite position fixing system can be used anywhere on earth arranged in 20, 000 km high with 24 satellites. The theoretical method of the fixing composition is possible to use satellite position fixing system. This paper is the part of the experiment which is dose for the development of the system used in Car-position fixing system. Also, this study is the comparison of one point positioning system and relative positioning system.

The authors aim to design further an upgraded and self-contained position fixing system to meet the future commercial requirements. As a first step this paper is to investigate the theoretical structure of position fixing based on the nature of free gyro, in which the tilt angles of the two spin axes at an arbitrary position are measured respectively and the elapsed time with respect to a reference position or starting point is observed And it illustrates some limitations to be expected in this system.

There are many position fixing systems in the world from ancient times. But the principles are to compare the position to want to know with the known position already. The position finding system which is not restricted by weather condition and/or electronic apparatus has been sought. The best system is the GPS as far. But the system has the fatal faults as follows; 1. to depend on satellite's accuracy, 2. not to use underwater. This paper is to investigate theoretically position fixing and north finding by using free gyroscope. This paper introduce a position fixing and north finding method by measuring inclination of 2 free gyroscopes. And this system does not depend on the weather condition and underwater condition. What is more, it could use on the planets, if the gravity exits.

The technology of direction finding is very important to make high position fixing accuracy. TDOA(time difference of arrival) direction finding technology is a high accuracy technology and is used in RF system from 1990. The principle of TDOA is to receive an emitter signal with two antennas, measure the time difference of received signal and then convert the time differences to azimuth angle. For high DF(direction finding) accuracy long basis line and high SNR at receiving system are needed. The DF accuracy and position fixing accuracy are simulated with different SNRs and antenna base lines. We obtain the DF accuracy of $0.51^{\circ}$ at $0^{\circ}$ incident azimuth angle in case of 50m base line and 40dB SNR.

In order to study the electrocardiogram of small animals authors deviced a fixing apparatus in the ventral resting position of rabbit and an attaching electrodes. Normal electrocardiograms of 8 adult rabbits were studied with author's improved fixing apparatus and electrodes. Leads taken were the standard limb lead, augmented unipolar leads and the unipolar precordial leads. The total numbers of various leads were eleven altogether. Results obtained in this study may be summarized as follows: 1. The details of the methods used to record and measure the six standard frontal plane leads and the five precordial leads of the rabbit electrocardiogram in the ventral resting position were described. The fixing apparatus of rabbits in ventral position are shown in Figure 1 and the attaching electrodes are shown in Figure 2. 2. The electrocardiographic changes in ventral position were more stable than in dorsal position in each lead. 3. The analysis of the amplitude, duration and other values of various waves are shown in Table 1 and Figure 3. 4. The electrocardiogram of rabbits showed decreased heart rate in ventral position than dorsal one. 5. The mean electrical axis of QRS complex in ventral position were +44.12 degrees and in dorsal position were +25.5 degrees.

This paper is to investigate theoretically position fixing by using gyroscopic inertia of free gyroscope. with respect to a reference position or starting point, the changes of the inclination angle of the spin axes and the elapsed time are taken a measurement. By using the two basic factors like changes of angles a position is fixed.
