Title: Methodology and system for routing optimization in GPS-based navigation, combining dynamic traffic data
Inventor: LIOTOPOULOS FOTIOS K
IPC: G08G1/01
Filed: 2009-12-10
Abstract: We have devised a methodology and appropriate systems realizing it, related to the collection, by means of a GPS-based Personal Navigation Assistant (PNA) and aggregation, central processing and distribution (by means of a Central System) of dynamic information related to the road traffic flow (i.e., the traveling speed of a vehicle for every road segment it travels through, correlated with other vehicular and road parameters), thereby augmenting the existing static navigation map data with dynamic ones and providing improved routing and navigation capabilities to current PNAs. Proper software, interacting with typical PNA hardware, will record characteristics and parameters associated with each road segment of the travelled path (e.g. The time or speed it takes to go through that road segment, the current time and date, the weather conditions, the vehicle type, whether it is a work-day or some holiday, etc.). After the offline uploading and post-processing of the users' trace data by a Central Server System, this data will be incorporated in a "global map" (consisting of a segmented, special purpose and distributed, spatial database). The PNA users will thereafter be able to obtain, store within their PNAs and use any part of the "global map", combined with the available static maps of their device, in order to obtain improved routing decisions, based on : a) dynamic (space/time-dependent) traffic data, i.e. the combination of time-of-the-day, day-of-the-week, season-of-the-year, type-of- vehicle, type-of-weather, road-conditions, and type-of-holiday, and b) decision criteria, such as, shortest travelling time, less cost, or a combination thereof, as desired by the user/driver.

Title: High precision ultrasonic corrosion rate monitoring
Inventor: GRUBB SCOTT A
IPC: G01N29/04
Filed: 2010-09-17
Abstract: The invention relates to very precisely measuring changes in thickness of pipe walls to determine corrosion rate prior to any significant corrosion loss. The thickness is determined by ultrasonic testing where many measurements of the wall thickness are taken at the same spot by a fixed sensor and errors associated with noise and temperature changes are substantially eliminated. A highly sensitive receiver converts each reflected pulse to waves that are averaged with other pulse measurements. The resulting average wave is analyzed so that each waveform is analyzed to identify the extrema and inflection points of each reflected pulse. The resulting analysis provides a far more accurate determination of the time between reflected pulses. As a result, a far more accurate picture of corrosion at the location of the wall of the pipe can be determined within weeks with a high degree of confidence.

Title: Urine absorbing article
Inventor: MIYAKE HIROFUMI
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 2010-11-22
Abstract: A urine receiving pad 1 has a substantially rectangular bag body 10. The bag body 10 has a side edge portion 16 extending in a lengthwise direction thereof, and a top edge portion 15 connected to the side edge portion 16 and extending in a widthwise direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction. In the side edge portion 16, an opening 10P opening in the widthwise direction is provided at the side edge portion 16a which is continuous with the top edge portion 15. Since a male genitalia P is inserted through the opening 10P along the widthwise direction, a bottom portion 10c tends to be positioned below the male genitalia P. This can prevent a portion near the bottom portion 10c from being largely folded even when a diaper, underwear, or the like, is worn. Thus, an overflow of urine from the opening 10P can be effectively suppressed.
