IPC: G08G1/0969
Filed: 1996-09-26
Abstract: Road or other guidance is provided by displaying a
structure-shape map showing building shapes and roads. Drawing
of building shapes on the map is restricted according to specific
conditions (e.g. the travel condition of the vehicle, or the
screen scroll mode), by setting the display color for building
shapes to the same color as that for a background, or by not
drawing any of them, thereby preventing the screen from becoming
difficult to see even during scrolling. For the structure-shape
map, a storage mechanism stores map data having a name and a
coordinate string for each shape of various structures and
information belonging to each structure. A guidance control
mechanism decides display modes, for example, colors, color
densities, and patterns for the shapes on the basis of
information belonging to the structures (e.g. the classification
and height of each structure, and other detailed information),
retrieves information belonging to a structure concerned,
together with information regarding surroundings, and displays,
on a display mechanism, shapes and names according to the decided
display modes to thereby give guidance. The structure-shape map
may be displayed centered on a structure having a telephone
number retrieved by entry of the telephone number (Fig. 1).

Abstract: A fuel pressure regulator (10) for use with an internal combustion
engine includes a housing (12) a valve assembly in the housing, an
elastic diaphragm (34) connecting the valve assembly to the housing, a
stop (58) on one of the housing (12) or the valve assembly and a spring
(22) between the housing (12) and the valve assembly. The housing
includes an inlet (14), an outlet (16) and a longitudinal axis. The
valve assembly is displaceable along the longitudinal axis by an opening
distance when a fuel pressure at least equal an overpressure amount acts
on the diaphragm so that the diaphragm does not exceed its yield
strength. The diaphragm (34) is in fluid communication with the inlet
(14) and elastically displaceable along the longitudinal axis up to a
maximum distance. The stop (58) is spaced from the other of the housing
(12) or the valve assembly along the longitudinal axis by a travelling
distance (D t ) when the valve assembly closes the fluid
communication between the inlet and the outlet. The travelling distance
is at most equal to the maximum distance and substantially greater than
the opening distance.

Abstract: A user interface can display electronic ink in one section of a display device and corresponding recognized or converted text in another section of the display device that was generated from a electronic ink recognition system. Each page of electronic ink and each corresponding page of converted or recognized text are linked to one another. In other words, each page of electronic ink can be displayed only with its corresponding page of converted or recognized text until a command or message is received that editing of the converted or recognized text has been completed. Once the command or message is received that editing of the converted or recognized text has been completed, then the link between an electronic ink page and its corresponding converted text page is broken. This means that the converted text page can now be saved independently of its corresponding electronic ink page. <IMAGE>

information (PosA, PosB, PosC, PosD), in the area
demodulation method and calculates the demodulation
position (y) with the velocity offset correction of 2-phase
servo signals (PosN, PosQ) by using both the head
velocity V of the virtual circular orbit reference and
the relative velocity ΔV of the virtual circular orbit
and the position signal.
