Abstract: A navigation system uses a geographic database to determine a solution route to a
destination and provides detailed maneuvering guidance for following the solution route.
In addition, the navigation system includes a preview function that provides a summary
of the solution route prior to providing the detailed maneuvering guidance for following
the solution route. The preview function is included in the programming of the
navigation system. The preview function uses a feature incorporated in the geographic
database wherein the portion of the geographic database used by the navigation system
when determining a solution route includes references to another portion of the database
that includes the actual text of the names of the roads represented thereby. As the
navigation system uses the data in the geographic database to determine the solution
route, data representing the roads in the solution route are saved, including the references
to the other portion of the geographic database that includes the actual text of the names
of the roads. After the solution route is determined, the preview function evaluates the
data representing the roads in the solution route and provides a list of route preview data
structures. The list of route preview data structures includes the references to the portion
of the geographic database that includes the actual text of the names of the roads. The list
of route preview data structures is used to provide the user of the navigation system with
a preview that contains a summary of the solution route. The preview provided to the
user can include the names of the roads in the solution route. The names can be obtained
from the geographic database using the references contained in the list of route preview
data structures. When obtaining the names, the references can be reordered to facilitate
accessing the text of the names quickly. By providing a preview of the calculated route,
the user is familiarized with the route prior to being given detailed guidance for following
the route.

Abstract: A high pressure chamber opening (23) is equipped with a cylindrical element (22) that features a
circumferential flange (24). The circumferential flange features concentrically positioned primary and
secondary O-ring seals (76,78) that surround the chamber opening. A door is clamped to the
circumferential flange and over the opening and the circumferential seals. As a result, the
opening is sealed and an annular passage is formed between the seals. A port is formed in the
cylindrical element so that the annular passage may communicate with a pressure switch. The
port also communicates with a relief valve (100). The pressure switch signals the system operator
when the pressure in the annular passage rises due to failure of the primary O-ring. The relief
valve vents the annular passage when the pressure therein increases to a level where damage to
the secondary O-ring could occur. The relief valve setting is such that the pressure within the
annular passage may rise to a level where dry ice formation is prevented.

swivel nut 12 is rotated to thread onto the threaded fitting. The tail piece 10 has a
flat end face 20 which engages a flat end face 18 on the fitting so that a leak-proof
joint is formed between the tube 14 and the fitting. The nut 12 includes a frusto-conical

Abstract: A device is described, designed to improve combustion efficiency in
internal combustion engines, by using means which heat the fuel during its
transfer from the fuel tank to the parts that introduce it into the engine. 
     In particular it is a device comprising induction devices which heat the fuel
conveyed to the engine, that consist of a coil powered with electrical
current, and that the said coil is wound round a metal pipe through which
the fuel to be heated passes. 
     The positive electrical pole is preferably located on the fuel input side. 
     This improves the efficiency of the engine, presumably as a result of
polarisation phenomena which improve the combustion processes, and
moreover a considerable reduction in carbon monoxide emissions was
found.
