Title: Navigation system and method using map data
Inventor: KOMURA FUMINOBU
IPC: G01C21/00
Filed: 1989-09-14
Granted: 1997-01-28
Abstract: In a vehicle navigation system that has sensors for detecting a travel distance, an azimuth, etc. of the vehicle, and a memory for storing map data; a probability density of the position of the vehicle is calculated on the basis of the sensor outputs and the map data for each of quantization units, by which a probability computation determined by detection accuracies of the sensors and quantization of the map data can be executed.  A final stage calculation of DP matching between trajectory data obtained from the on-board sensor data from a start point of the vehicle until a current time, and a candidate route estimated from the road map data is iteratively executed. As a result, a plurality of estimated vehicle positions and uncertainties (costs) corresponding to the respective estimated positions are iteratively evaluated.  The correct position is estimated by selecting an estimated vehicle position of low uncertainty (cost).

Abstract: A digitally trunked radio repeater system provides substantial improvements in timeliness of channel acquisition and channel drop, and in reliability of critical control signalling.  The system uses a much higher digital signalling rate than is typically found in prior art systems, and uses a control channel to convey digital channel request and assignment messages between the central site and mobile transceivers.  The mobile radio transceivers transmit channel requests on the control channel (if no response is received, the mobile retries during a retry time window which increases in duration in dependence on the number of retries).  The mobile transceiver switches to a working channel in response to an assignment message received on the control channel. Subaudible digital signals transmitted on the control channel and on active working channels allow late entry, shifting to higher priority calls, and other advanced functions.  Message and transmission trunking capabilities are both present so as to maximize working channel usage without compromising channel access for high priority communications.  During transmission trunking, called and calling transceivers return to the control channel after each transmission (and called transceivers may be inhibited from transmitting) but grant higher priority to calls from the other transceivers being communicated with to ensure continuity over an entire conversation.  Additional functions and fault tolerant features further increase the versatility and reliability of the system.

Abstract: ABSTRACT     A single cavity laser device comprises a diode pumped laser medium having a relatively high gain but a relatively low power.  With this medium, a control laser beam is generated.          Also positioned in the cavity is a second laser medium having a relatively large gain volume which is pumped by an array of laser diodes at a relatively low gain to created a reservoir of excited state ions.  Positioned between these two diode pumped laser mediums is a beam expander which focuses the control laser beam onto the second laser medium to substantially fill the gain volume of the second laser medium.  Stimulation of the excited ions in the gain volume of the second laser medium by photons in the control beam efficiently generates a laser beam of relatively high power.

Abstract: An apparatus for blocking the release of a slide fastener caused by the movement of a slider. According to the preferable embodiment, this apparatus comprises a pair of sliders, which are provided with a pair of ring-projections respectively, and a pair of engaging members as a blocking member for supporting and ensuring the interlocking of the ring-projections. Then, a pair of studs are provided at the engaging members respectively. When the sliders arranged reversely are moved forwardly to be contacted with each other for closing the slide fastener, the ring-projections are interlocked so that the eyes of the both ring-projections are overlapped. Next, each stud is pushed into the overlapped eyes from each side and engaged to another stud in the eyes so as not to be removed and not to be pulled out. Therefore, the release of the slide fastener caused by the movement of the slider is surely blocked. For allowing the release of the slide fastener, the base of either stud is cut and another side engaging member is pulled out. As so doing, the engaging members are disengaged from each other. Accordingly, the sliders can be moved backwardly away from each other for opening the slide fastener.

Abstract: Substantial improvements in trucking equipment during the past few years, including steel belted tires and improved engines which developed less friction have substantially reduced the resistance to travel and the cost per mile of operating tractor and trailer equipment. These and other improvements which decreased the cost of attaining and maintaining higher speeds did nothing to reduce the cost of applying the brakes to tractor and trailer units. It was therefore desirable in the interests of safety and economy of operation to find some way of reducing the cost of applying braking forces (to the units) at less cost.      Applicant's invention has the two-fold advantage of reducing the trucking costs at road speeds by providing movable air deflecting fairings to streamline the flow of air outwardly beyond the trailer unit. When braking forces are needed applicant immediately opens up the fairings, and opens side doors to scoop and channel more airflow than the normal width of the assembly to impinge directly on the front of the substantially flat front surface of the trailer. This is particularly effective on long down hill runs where the cost of prolonged braking is expensive and is very destructive to the maintaining of the vehicles braking equipment in top operating condition.

Abstract: A one piece needle and suture holder is described in which a rounded channel is formed for retention of the suture. One end of the suture exits the channel toward the interior of the channel and is attached to a needle located in a needle holder in the interior of the channel. The channel is formed with an open side, to which are attached a plurality of hinged doors.

In an alternative embodiment a paper cover is utilized to complete the enclosing channel. To afford ease of winding the suture the bottom of the channel is perforated for the application of a vacuum to the channel during suture winding. Also disclosed is a needle park for retaining the needle in the center of the package. In a preferred embodiment the needle park is backed by a relief flap to enable the needle to be conveniently grasped by a forceps during removal of the needle and suture.
