Abstract: A navigation system, preferably for use in a vehicle,
includes a processor, and a graphical display for displaying map
information. As the vehicle approaches a given location, e.g., an
intersection, a visual image of the location is retrieved and displayed on
the graphical display. In one embodiment, the visual image is a photograph
of the location that is displayed in a pop-up window on the display screen.
If desired, additional graphic images or text are superimposed on or
associated with the image to facilitate navigation. Thus, for example, if
the user approaches an intersection, the device displays a still photograph
of the intersection, together with an arrow overlaid thereupon to
illustrate that the user should make a given turn.

Abstract: In a separator for the separation of sorts of seeds such as rape, sunflower and
palm kernel into a fluid fraction and a solid fraction which are separated at an
outlet opening (11) in the separator, and at which point a clot (22) is formed,
which hardens after some time of standstill of the separator, there are means

restarted. The material thus broken up is conveyed out of the separator. There
is thus no longer any need to dissemble the separator and then break up the
solid material and reassemble the separator every time the separator is to be
restarted, and the separator can consequently be an integral part of a
processing plant.

Abstract: The classification method involves the following
steps: defining a set of low-level features describing
the semantic content of the image, said features being
quantities obtainable from the image by means of
logico-mathematical expressions that are known beforehand, and
the choice of said features depending upon the image
classes used for the classification; indexing an image
to be classified, with the purpose of extracting
therefrom a feature vector, the components of which
consist of the values assumed, in the image, by said
low-level features; splitting the feature space defined
by the low-level features into a plurality of
classification regions, to each one of said regions
there being associated a respective image class, and
each classification region being the locus of the points
of the feature space defined by a finite set of
conditions laid on at least one component of the feature
vector; associating the feature vector to the feature
space; identifying, among the classification regions, a
specific classification region containing the feature
vector extracted from the image to be classified; and
identifying the image class associated to the specific
classification region identified.

Abstract: A method for the delivery of interactive advertisement contents within an Internet
domain with profiled users. The advertisement is forwarded towards the PC clients by
an Internet provider connected to a supplier of the advertising service, which gives free
the navigation costs to the subscribers of the advertising service. The user browser
displays an initial short lasting advertisement initial image, animated and at full screen,
and subsequent shock-wave images at regular intervals during the navigation. While
an advertising image remains on the PC monitor, downloading from possible
connected Web sites is not stopped. The advertising screen includes highlighted fields
on which the user can click to answer to questions associated to the enjoyed content.
Answering to the questions makes the advertising image disappear, and the interrupted
navigation restarts up to the next break. Missing an answer to the questions during the
staying of the page will cause the end of the connection. Interactions by the users on
interactive contents are statistically processed by the server, which obtains user
profiles to be used for the targeted selection of the next advertisement pages. The
communication software of the Server synchronizes the telecasting of the next page
with the instant the previous one begins to be observed.
