Abstract: Methods and apparatus for dynamically labeling map objects for different views of a visually displayed map are disclosed. For each view of a plurality of different views of a map, a view of the map is rendered "on-the-fly" in a display. The technique is performed by retrieving map data which includes map object graphics data and map object label data; causing one or more portions of a map object (e.g. a road) to be rendered in the view of the display in accordance with the map object graphics data; and also causing a map object label (e.g. a name of the road) to be rendered in the view of the display, in accordance with the map object label data, on or along a portion of the map object between its vertice coordinates, such that a linear position of the map object label on or along the portion of the map object is different from its linear position in each of the other views of the map so that the map object label fits within the view in a continuous moving fashion from view to view. In a specific embodiment, the map object label is rendered by identifying the portion of the map object to be a longest portion of the one or more portions of the map object in the view; identifying a centerpoint of the portion identified to be the longest portion; and causing the map object label to be rendered relative to the centerpoint of the portion identified to be the longest portion.

Abstract: The system has a main engine drivingly connected to a hydraulic pump having a displacement volume which is variable by a pump actuator. The hydraulic pump is drivingly connected to a hydraulic motor which is drivingly connected to a wheel engaging the ground. The hydraulic motor has a variable displacement volume by the actuator and the pump is also connected to a second hydraulic motor which is drivingly connected to a second wheel engaging the ground. The motor has a variable displacement volume by a second actuator. A controller is coupled to a sensor configured to sense the position of a control lever for setting rotational speed of the wheels. The controller is configured to adjust actuators in response to movement of the control lever. The controller adjusts the first actuator to reduce the displacement volume of the first hydraulic motor and reduce the rotational speed of the first wheel when an undesirable operating condition is detected at the first wheel. The controller shifts the second actuator and the pump actuator to maintain a constant speed of travel by shifting the second actuator toward a greater displacement volume up to a maximum displacement volume and shifting the pump actuator toward a reduced displacement volume if the shifting of the second actuator is insufficient to compensate for the change in the displacement volume of the first hydraulic motor. An independent claim is included for a harvester.

Abstract: A method of spectrographic measurement is disclosed. The method generates light energy using a solid state low capacitance excitation source, the light energy being caused to fall on a sample to be assayed, causing the sample to output an output optical signal. The method generates a plurality of modulation frequencies, and a plurality of heterodyne frequencies to form a set of heterodyne signals at the heterodyne frequencies. Each of the heterodyne frequencies is associated with one of the modulation frequencies. Coupling the modulation frequencies to the excitation source, causes the excitation source to generate excitation energy modulated in intensity in proportion to the modulation frequencies. A sampling a portion of the substantially incoherent excitation energy forms a reference substantially incoherent excitation signal. 
Focusing the output optical signal as an image modulated with the plurality of modulation frequencies on an image intensifier enables the formation of an intensified image modulated with the plurality of modulation frequencies, receiving the intensified image modulated with the plurality of modulation frequencies on a multielement optical detector.
