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 wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiving integrated circuit includes a
WLAN interface, an input buffer, an input buffer controller, and a processor. The WLAN
transceiving integrated circuit may also include an output buffer, an output buffer controller,
a transcoder, and/or an audio Coder-Decoder (CODEC). The WLAN transceiving integrated
circuit is installed in a WLAN device that services voice communications. The input buffer
receives packetized audio data from the WLAN interface. When the input buffer satisfies a
buffer vacancy threshold, the processor and the input buffer controller cooperatively operate
to fill at least a portion of the input buffer with packetized audio data. The processor copies
packetized audio data from the input buffer and fills the input buffer with the copied
packetized audio data to maintain an audio pattern in the input buffer. The input buffer
controller fills the input buffer when the processor is available and after copying/filling is no
longer effective. The processor operates to maintain the audio pattern when additional
packetized audio data is received by the WLAN interface. These operations are also
performed for the output buffer, which receives packetized audio data from the transcoder
and writes the packetized audio data to the WLAN interface.

Abstract: In the invention, a body frame 16 includes a head pipe 21
on which a front fork is mounted for turning movement, a
box-shaped box frame portion 51 extending obliquely
rearwardly downwards from the head pipe 21, a twin tube
portion 52. extending obliquely downwardly rearwards
separately on the left and right from a rear end of the
box frame portion 51 and having a smaller width in a
bicycle widthwise direction than the width of the box
frame portion 51, and a rear frame portion 53 extending
obliquely rearwardly downwards from the rear ends of the
twin tube portion 52 and having a greater width in the
bicycle widthwise direction than the width of the twin
tube portion 52. 
     The body frame can be formed such that it has a
high rigidity in the proximity of the head pipe but has a
low rigidity at a central portion of the body, and a high
load transmitted from the road surface to the head pipe
through the front wheel and the front fork can be
supported by the box frame portion. Further, since the
rear frame portion is formed with an increased width, a
twist of the swing arm can be suppressed, and a twist can
be generated readily at a central portion of the body
thereby to augment the steering performance of the
vehicle.

Abstract: In a colour cathode-ray tube having a focusing electrode applied with the
focusing voltage and an anode electrode applied with the anode voltage, there is
provided an intermediate electrode which is applied, through an incorporated
dividing resistor (301), with a potential which is higher than the focusing voltage
and lower than the anode voltage. Metal bodies (63A,B) are wound around the
electron gun, each metal body being spaced by a respective distance from the inner
wall of the neck of the cathode ray tube. The incorporated dividing resistor (301)
has reduced length or has a width-constricted portion so as to enable the metal
bodies (63A,B) to be wound around the electron gun in a symmetrical fashion thus
rendering substantially equal the respective distances between each of the metal
bodies (63A,B) and the inner wall of the neck of the cathode ray tube.

Abstract: Méthode et dispositif pour évaluer dans le même temps et avec le même appareillage, des paramètres physiques tels que la perméabilité absolue et la porosité, de fragments extraits d’un milieu poreux naturel ou artificiel fragmenté. On mesure la porosité des fragments au moyen de tests de pression à l’hélium suivant un protocole connu en soi. L’enceinte (1) qui les contient, est mise en communication avec un réservoir (11) de volume connu également, contenant de l’hélium sous une pression connue. A l’équilibre des pressions, on peut déduire la valeur du volume solide. On mesure également le volume enveloppe de roche et la masse en fragments. En combinant ces mesures, on détermine la porosité des échantillons ainsi que la densité de la roche. On mesure ensuite leur perméabilité en les immergeant dans un fluide visqueux et en mettant l’enceinte en communication avec du fluide visqueux sous une pression définie contenu dans un récipient (9) de manière à comprimer le gaz piégé dans les pores de la roche, suivant deux protocoles différents. Par le biais d’une modélisation de l’évolution de la pression ou du volume dans l’enceinte, et d’un ajustement itératif, on détermine les valeurs des paramètres physiques. Applications par exemple à des mesures pétrophysiques à partir de déblais de forage ou de carottes concassées.
