Inventor: ANDOH JUNICHI
IPC: G01C21/26
Filed: 2010-01-12
Abstract: A navigation apparatus 1 is provided for use in several different destination regions or countries. A navigation program 25a may be installed into a memory device 23 of the navigation apparatus 1 by copying the program 25a off a portable storage medium 25. If a destination region of a navigation program 23a currently stored in the memory device 23 is different from that of the navigation program 25a in the portable storage medium, both the navigation program 23a, and user related information 23c currently recorded in the memory device 23 is erased, and the navigation program 25a is recorded in the memory 23 of the apparatus 1. If the destination regions of the navigation programs 23a and 25a are the same, version information of the navigation program 23a currently stored in the memory device 23 is compared to the version information of the navigation program 25a in the portable storage medium 25. When the version of the navigation program 25a stored in the portable storage medium 25 is newer than the navigation program 23a stored in the memory device 23, the navigation program 23a recorded in the memory device 23 is erased, and the navigation program 25a is recorded in the memory 23 of the apparatus 1, however, the above mentioned user information erasing process is not executed in this case.

Title: Herb Catcher
Inventor: WILKINSON THOMAS TREVOR DAVID
IPC: A24F1/30
Filed: 2010-10-25
Abstract: The purpose of the herb catcher is to minimise all loss of smoking material when loading a smoking bong. By placing the catcher over the down pipe of the smoking bong, this allows the scoop of the herb catcher to hang under the loading point of the down pipe. The area of the rim of the scoop is enough to catch any unused waste in the drop radius (see figure 2, B). By folding the tabs (figure 1 A1) behind the neck of the herb catcher, and then through the given apertures A2; this will ensure that the corner of the fold where the scoop meets the neck is firmly sealed so even the smallest bits of smoking herbs or tobaccos are saved (see figure 2).
