摘要： An image identification apparatus for identifying an image from a hand drawn representation of at least part of the image, the image identification apparatus comprising an image processor arranged in operation to generate a reference identification in response to spatial samples produced from at least part of the hand drawn representation, the reference identification being indicative of a first estimate of which of a plurality of pre-stored images corresponds to the hand drawn representation. and a controller which is arranged in operation to cause the image processor to produce a refined reference identification from the spatial samples and further spatial samples produced from a further part of the hand drawn representation, the refined reference identification being indicative of a refined estimate of which of the plurality of the prestored images corresponds to the hand drawn representation. The controller is arranged to operate with the image processor to generate further refined estimates of the identification of the image from subsequent hand drawn parts of the image.

摘要： A system for communicating across conventional HVAC wiring is provided. The system includes a communication device having a communication module capable of inducing low power, high frequency current signals into a single control wire coupling, for example, a thermostat with a compressor. The communication module includes a power supply module that draws power sufficient to operate the communication module from the existing HVAC wiring, so as to eliminate any need for batteries or external power sources. A second communication module may be coupled to the single control wire. The second communication module operates as a transceiver sending communication signals to, and receiving communication signals from, the communication module. In one embodiment, the communication module is disposed within a building, for example coupled to an electronic thermostat, while the second communication module is disposed outside the building near the compressor. The communication signals are RF modulated signals between 5 and 50 MHz so as to take advantage of and pass across parasitic capacitances found inherent in transformers or other coils disposed within HVAC loads.

摘要： A thermal management system for a spacecraft module includes a baseplate and wall system that is precharacterized to provide a given level of thermal performance regardless of an orientation of the spacecraft relative to a source of solar energy. The system is characterized at a worst-case hot orientation, and at a worst-case cold orientation. The characterization provides a maximum temperature and a minimum temperature of components mounted on the baseplate as a function of the height of the walls. The height of the walls is selected to provide a suitable temperature range for the components, based on the power dissipation of the components. The system is designed to be symmetric, so that this temperature range is assured regardless of the orientation of the spacecraft.

摘要： A method for providing visual continuity when performing a zooming or panning operation with a graphical map shown on display screen of a computing platform. When a user of the computing platform operates the user interface thereof to perform a zooming or panning operation, a first map view of a first geographic area is replaced with a second map view of a second geographic area, such that at least a portion of the first and second geographic areas overlap. In order to provide visual continuity, a transition view is shown on the display screen of the computing platform between the showing of the first map view and the showing of the second map view. The transition view is shown for several seconds immediately after the user operates the user interface to perform the zooming or panning operation. The transition view shows either the first map view or the second map view. The transition view also includes a boundary line that is overlaid on the map view being shown. The boundary line is located on the map view used for the transition view to show the border of the portion of the other map view which is visible in the map view used for the transition view. The method for providing visual continuity is particularly useful for in-vehicle navigation systems or hand-held devices with small display screens. The method can also be applied to text windows.

摘要： A reporting program and system whereby end users of navigation systems, or other computing platforms that use geographic data to obtain navigation-related or map-related services, can make reports about the geographic data. The reporting program can be used by end users to report perceived errors or inaccuracies in the geographic data. The end users can use their own personal computers, or other computing devices, to access the reporting program over a network, such as the Internet. When an end user accesses the reporting program, the reporting program provides a graphical map image to the end user on the end user's computing platform. The reporting program allows the end user to zoom and pan the graphical map image in order to display an image of the area about which the end user wishes to make a report. When the area about which the end user wishes to make a report is displayed on the end user's display screen, the reporting program allows the end user to mark up the graphical map image to illustrate a change. The reporting program also allows the end user to include text to describe a change. The reporting program captures the end user's graphical and text input as a report that is used to update or check the geographic database, as appropriate.

摘要： A method implemented on a navigation system in a vehicle for determining the position of the vehicle relative to a road network. The navigation system uses a geographic database that contains data that represent positions of roads upon which the vehicle travels. Using the output from a GPS system, and optionally outputs from other sensors, the navigation system matches the positions of the vehicle to the locations of the roads represented by the data contained in the geographic database. Upon detecting an event from which the position of the vehicle with respect to the roads represented by the data contained in the geographic database can be determined with a relatively high degree of accuracy, a correction factor is determined. The correction factor is an offset (i.e., a distance and direction) of the GPS position reported during the event to the known-to-be-highly-accurate position. The correction factor is then used to adjust subsequently obtained GPS readings for a limited period of time, i.e., while the same atmospheric conditions apply. This period of time may be 10-20 minutes.
