Abstract: An improved method and system for storage of geographic data on physical storage media. The geographic data are stored in a manner that facilitates and enhances use and access of the data by various navigation application functions in navigation systems that use the data. The geographic data includes a parcelization that separates the geographic data into parcels having less than or equal to a maximum parcel size but having at least a desired fill percentage. The parcelization method also provides for a division arrangement that facilitates addressing and identification of the parcels. According to a further aspect, the geographic data includes special nodal entities that are used to collapse complex intersections, such as roundabouts, cloverleaves, and divided highways, into simpler data representations. The special nodal entities are associated with road segment data entities and used in a route calculation program in place of regular node entities. Further, the geographic data include a normalized attribute array that includes reoccurring combinations of certain selected attributes of the geographic data. Indices to the array are included in place of data corresponding to the selected attributes When a navigation application program requests data, an entry in the normalized attribute table pointed to by an index in the data is used to return the requested data in the particular combination of attributes from the normalized attribute array. The geographic data is compiled by a method that facilitates access to the data on a physical medium. According to the compilation method, data files to be stored on the medium are organized into parcels. The data records within the data files are identified by the parcel in which they are located. An arrangement of all the data files on the medium is determined and a parcel identification related to the medium is assigned to each parcel. Cross references between data records are updated to include the assigned parcel identifications and the parcels are stored on the medium.

Abstract: A stent or other intraluminal medical device having markers (900) formed from housings (902) integral with the stent, and marker inserts (904) having a higher radiopacity than the stent, provides for more precise placement and post-procedural visualization in a vessel, by increasing the radiopacity of the stent under X-ray fluoroscopy. The housings (902) are formed integral to the stent and the marker inserts (904) are made from a material close in the galvanic series to the stent material and sized to substantially minimize the effect of galvanic corrosion. The housings (902) are also shaped to minimize their impact on the overall profile of the stent. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A radio communication system, which employs an ad hoc communication method, can ensure information reachability of broadcast communication between terminals. For example, a radio communication terminal (101), which is the first to participate in a cluster, serves as a cluster master and periodically distributes, through the broadcast communication, cluster information comprising the terminal identifiers of the cluster-participant radio communication terminals including itself. For example, in a case where a radio communication terminal (102) participates in the cluster for the first time, the radio communication terminal (102) receives the cluster information, and performs a unicast communication with each of all the participant radio communication terminals identified by the cluster information, and participates in the cluster if the communication reachability between the radio communication terminal (102) is ensured and each of the other participant radio communication terminals, whereby the radio communication terminal (102) can perform a unicast communication and a broadcast communication with any of the other participant radio communication terminals.

Abstract: A flexible armoured pipe, which comprises an inner liner, and an internal pressure armour in the inner liner; which internal pressure armour is built up by the joining together of profiles, which have a number of recesses. <??>According to the invention, the profiles are configured as K-profiles (10,16,17), which have recesses (10a,10b,10c,10d), which are arranged in adjoining surfaces of the profile. When the profiles are brought together, the recesses form a cavity in which a locking element (12,14,18) can be inserted, the function of which is to prevent displacement of the K-profiles at right-angles to the axial direction of the pipe when this is exposed to axial, compressive forces. <??>The locking element can be I-shaped (14), be circular or be configured as a wire (18) with a C-shaped cross-section. The locking element can also be made either of a rigid or an elastic, deformable material. <??>With a C-shaped locking element, the whole of the cavity, which is formed by the recesses, is not filled out.
