Abstract: A map matching apparatus (20) for estimating the
current position of a mobile body (12) in relation to a
map periodically receives from the mobile body (12) a
set of measured values of radio signal strength of
respective radio signals from a plurality of base
stations (11), stores these sets, and applies averaging
processing to the entire sequence of sets of measured
radio signal strength values to obtain a corresponding
sequence of sets of smoothed radio signal strength
values. Based on pre-measured values of radio signal
strength that have been obtained beforehand for each of
a plurality of predetermined points such as street
junctions, within the region of the map, which have
been stored at the map matching apparatus (20) in
conjunction with respective position information for
these predetermined points, the apparatus operates on
the sequence of sets of smoothed radio signal strength
values to estimate those of the predetermined points
that have been successively traversed by the mobile
body up to the current time, to thereby estimate the
current position of the mobile body.

Abstract: A tape-like medium running device realizes a reduction of a fast-forwarding
time and a rewinding time by running a tape-like medium at a high speed up to a
marginal point near a leading end or a tail end of the tape-like medium during a
fast-forward and a rewind operation. For this purpose, rotating speed of a motor
1 is gradually slowed down with the lapse of time from a high target speed and
then settled at a low target speed, if an irregularity detection unit determines there
is an irregular condition based on an output of a wound-up diameter detector.
The invention can thus allows a setting of a wound-up diameter comparison
reference value at the marginal point near the leading end when rewinding (or, the
marginal point near the tail end when fast-forwarding), and minimize a time
during which the motor 1 rotates at the low target speed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for compressing image data for storage in a
memory device is presented. This is accomplished by separating the image
data into a plurality of pixel sets where each pixel set is of a predetermined
pixel set size. A discrete cosine transform is then performed on each of the
pixel sets to produce a plurality of transform coefficients. These transform
coefficients are then compressed to produce a compressed data set.
Compressing the transform coefficients preferably includes determining a
coefficient set that includes a portion of the transform coefficients that
reasonably approximate the pixel set. These coefficients are then mapped to
known ranges such that a limited number of bits can encode values
throughout these predetermined ranges. The mapped coefficients resulting
from the mapping step are then manipulated to fit within a limited number of
bits assigned to each coefficient. The limited number of bits is determined
partially based on the coefficient set to be compressed. The manipulation of
these mapped coefficients is preferably accomplished by shifting, rounding,
and truncating the mapped coefficients. The coefficients resulting from these
operations are then packed along with coefficient identifying information to
form the compressed data set.
