Abstract: A system for controlling the navigation of a recreational boat (100), such
as a fishing boat, between waypoints representing successive positions around a navigation
route. The system includes an input device (212, 214) for setting the waypoint positions,
a position detector (216) to detect the actual position of the boat (100), a trolling motor
(102) to produce a thrust to propel the boat (100), a steering motor (202) to control the
direction of the thrust, and a heading detector (206) to detect the actual heading of the
boat. The system also includes a control circuit (200) which determines a desired heading
using a desired waypoint and the actual position of the boat (100), and generates a
steering control signal applied to the steering motor (202) to steer the boat from the actual
position to the desired waypoint. The system operates in various modes which allow
repeated navigation of the boat around a navigation route. The system provides for
automatic waypoint storage as the boat is maneuvered around a navigation route.

Abstract: Automatic load-balancing provides a decision-making process that includes
intelligent automatic detection of when a given load-balancing activation
currently would not be beneficial, thereby keeping the user's network from
being unnecessarily disturbed when no real benefit would be gained; a process
to undo a prior load-balancing that can be activated when users have
accidentally selected a feature which could substantially change their network
configurations; and an extensive intelligent port-distribution algorithm that
improves the network load by moving the right ports to new segments.

Abstract: A long ceramic body with less fluctuation of
shape accuracy, and with higher shape accuracy, is
produced by controlling the deformation of the long
ceramic body. The long ceramic body is formed by
firing a long non-sintered ceramic body (5), when the
long body (5) is suspended in a sheath so as not to
contact directly the interior surface of the sheath, at
a temperature at which sintering can take place, until
sintering is completed. Then the long body is turned
upside down and re-fired at a temperature at which
sintering can take place. A predetermined downward
load (10) is applied to the long body at the vicinity
of the bottom thereof during second firing.

rows of lens elements on each side is arranged outside an
exiting surface 5. The angles of inclination of slopes
4a and 4b satisfy a condition that a > b. The slopes
4a and 4b extend in the transverse direction of the light
scattering guide plate 1, and slopes 4c and 4d extend in
