Inventor: BECHTOLSHEIM STEPHAN V
IPC: G01C21/00
Filed: 2000-12-05
Abstract: A data architecture for a motor vehicle that continuously provides updated data about paths along roads onto which the motor vehicle can travel from a current position of the motor vehicle as the motor vehicle travels along the roads. The data architecture uses a map database containing data about roads in a geographic region and a vehicle positioning program that uses data from sensors to provide an output indicating a current location along a road segment represented by data in the map database. The data architecture also includes a data horizon program that uses the output of the vehicle positioning program and data from the map database to determine one or more paths that the motor vehicle can travel extending from the current vehicle position to an extent associated with a threshold. Data representing the paths determined by the data horizon program are stored in a data repository from which driver assistance systems can obtain the data.

by a fixed element or casing (2) on the rear side of which there are fixing
clamps (2') which are to be coupled with corresponding front clamps (3)
which are fixed to the self-moving lift truck. 
     The fixed element or casing (2) is provided with a hollow seat in which a
crown (4) is inserted.

Abstract: Route advertisement requests made by a customer are received at route
provisioning center (20) to effect either advertisement of a newly provisioned route or
withdrawal of an existing route. In the case of a request to advertise a newly provisioned
route, the request is subjected to validation, and if unable to be validated, the request is
rejected. Upon validation of a new route advertisement, or following receipt of a request
to withdraw an existing route advertisement, the customer-entered request is entered into
an official routing database (26) for subsequent propagation to network access providers
(14, 16 and 18). Periodically, a check is made to verify that the customer-entered request

Abstract: A linear stimulating ray source produces stimulating rays and linearly irradiates them to a portion of a stimulable phosphor sheet, on which a radiation image has been stored. A photoelectric read-out system divides light, which is emitted from the portion of a front surface of the stimulable phosphor sheet exposed to the stimulating rays and/or the portion of a back surface of the stimulable phosphor sheet corresponding to the portion of the front surface exposed to the stimulating rays, into picture elements along a length direction of the portion exposed to the stimulating rays, and photoelectrically reads out the divided picture elements by arraying them in a two-dimensional form. A scanning system moves the stimulable phosphor sheet with respect to the linear stimulating ray source and the photoelectric read-out system and in a direction, which is approximately normal to the length direction of the portion exposed to the stimulating rays.

light source signal, a light sensor 34 which senses a reflected light signal
reflected from the sample and a processor/controller 94 which controls
addition of liquid from the liquid source as a function of the reflected light
signal. The light source is preferably an infrared source and the light sensor is

the saturated surface dry ("SSD") state and the percent by weight of aggregate
water absorption and hence aggregate binder absorption and/or bulk specific
gravity is then calculated. A weighing device 100 can be incorporated directly
into the apparatus.
