Title: Automatic resumption of route guidance in vehicle navigation system
Inventor: SEKINE MASAYUKI
IPC: G01C21/34
Filed: 1997-07-24
Abstract: An on-board automobile navigation system provides route guidance instructions to a user. The system detects a power-down of the vehicle and, in response, determines whether to resume route guidance in response to the next start-up of the vehicle. This determination is made prior to powering down the system. The determination is based on the current position of the vehicle and the computed route. If a determination was made to resume guidance after start-up, the selected destination and the computed route are saved in memory before powering down the system. If a determination was made to resume guidance, then in response to the next start-up of the vehicle, the selected destination and the computed route of the vehicle are recalled from memory, and route guidance is resumed from the current position of the vehicle.

Title: Sprayer boom lock valve for sequencing unfolding steps
Inventor: CHAHLEY DENNIS W
IPC: A01B73/02
Filed: 1997-11-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to a sprayer boom lock valve for automating the setup sequence for sprayer operation from the transport position. The lock valve comprises a lever, spring biased toward a valve closing pin, and a cam secured on the secondary boom of the sprayer boom. When the secondary boom is rotated to release wheel locks in the setup sequence, the cam releases the lever which acts on the valve closing pin to close the valve and prevent any further rotation of the secondary boom. The valve is opened again by a linkage which is pulled tight when the sprayer wings are opened, retracting the lever and opening the valve. The hydraulic drive line is then reestablished to complete rotation of the secondary booms. The automated lock valve of the present invention prevents accidental under-rotation of the secondary booms which would be insufficient to release the wheel locks, and also prevents accidental over-rotation which would cause the secondary booms in the transport position to crash into each other damaging the sprayer.

Filed: 1996-10-18
Abstract: A method for reassigning mobile stations a new phase within a channel is disclosed. In a communication system, a plurality of mobile stations attempt to communicate on a limited number of channels. The invention first uses a general allocation method to approximately evenly distribute the mobile stations on the available channels. After a mobile station begins active communication on the system, a second allocation method is used to change the phase of some mobile stations on a channel which has become heavily loaded. In addition, a message can also be sent to mobile stations assigned to but not yet actively communicating on the heavily loaded channel indicating that the mobile stations should change to a new channel.
