Patent CA-2620723-A1 (CA)
Title: Vehicle roof with at least two cover elements
Inventor: DE JONG CHRIS
IPC: B60J7/22
Filed: 2006-09-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle roof with two cover elements (14, 16), a front one of which can be deployed and a rear one of which serves as the sliding cover, can be lowered under the stationary vehicle roof and displaced.  An embodiment of the invention relates to an actuating mechanism of a drive slide which interacts with a deployment lever in order to swivel the front cover element (14), said lever being hinged to a support of the front cover element (14). The deployment movement of the deployment lever is supported by a spring. According to another aspect of the invention, the actuating mechanism comprises a slide unit which comprises one control track each for the front cover element (14) and for the rear cover element (16). The control tracks are configured in such a manner that the displacement of the slide unit in the direction of the vehicle roof, starting from a closed position of both cover elements (14, 16), first results in both cover elements (14, 16) being deployed, a continuous displacement of the slide unit in the same direction results in the rear cover element (16) being swung back and lowered and in the rear cover element (16) being retracted.

Title: Exhaust device for motorcycle
Inventor: MORITA KENJI
IPC: F01N13/08
Filed: 2008-03-19
Abstract: To prevent an exhaust throttle valve from disturbance due to stones scattered thereto. Front side exhaust pipes and rear side exhaust pipes are connected to a catalyst chamber disposed below a crankcase. The exhaust chamber and an exhaust chamber rearward thereof are connected to each other via a rear exhaust pipe. The diameter of the rear exhaust pipe is smaller than the lateral width of each of the catalyst chamber and the exhaust chamber, so that a recessed space is externally formed so as to recede inside of the vehicle. An exhaust throttle valve is received in the space. The exhaust throttle valve is partially exposed to the outside of the rear exhaust pipe and a throttle valve is received in the rear exhaust pipe to throttle-control the passage-sectional area of the rear exhaust pipe according to the rotation number of the engine. Thus, the exhaust throttle valve can be protected from disturbance due to scattered stones.

Patent CA-2629597-A1 (CA)
Inventor: XI XIAMING
IPC: H04Q7/32
Filed: 2008-04-23
Abstract: A method of distributing map data from a map server to a wireless communications device entails generating a bitmap array representative of the vector map data for a given zoom level, computing attributes of the bitmap array to determine which map features to retain and which map features to suppress, and then transmitting to the wireless device only the map data for the map features to be retained. By counting the number of bitmap cells representing a polygonal map feature such as a park, lake, or island, the approximate area is quickly estimated. If the area falls below a threshold, the map data for the small polygon is discarded. Similarly, if a polyline map feature overlaps (or is too proximate to) another polyline map feature, one of the polyline map features is discarded. The map data actually transmitted is thus reduced, thereby economizing bandwidth without unduly sacrificing map detail.
