    Abstract: An automatic ice making apparatus having a sensor which can detect continuously a temperature of an ice making tray is used as a temperature sensor. The temperature and a temperature variation rate of the ice making tray are detected by an electronic control circuit having a function corresponding to an A/D converter and a microprocessor or the like to determine a freezing state of water. Further, a thermistor is used as the temperature sensor, and by and A/D converter including a microprocessor a water level in the ice making tray is detected and a solenoid valve for determining an amount of supply water is controlled so as to suppress the water amount variation due to a water pressure change or the like.

    Abstract: The satellite signal tracking method performed during the initial phase of satellite tracking operation, wherein three or more GPS satellites in a first orbit are selected for searching in sequence through one receiving channel of a GPS receiver and performing the positioning on the earth upon receipt of navigation data from the captured GPS satellite, whereby, if a first GPS satellite is failed to be caught within a specified period of time, a second GPS satellite among the selected GPS satellites in the same orbit, which is at the furthermost point from the first GPS satellite, is picked out for searching and, further, if any of the selected GPS satellites in the same orbit is failed to be caught, three or more GPS satellites in another orbit are selected for reiterating the same operation as for the first orbit, and these changes of mode provides a quick restart of the position reckoning even when the GPS receiver has lost all the navigation data in a backup memory required therefor and an expeditious operation in catching satellite signals for initializing the GPS receiver.

    Abstract: A display device applied to a navigation system for a vehicle displaying map information by using a color pallet. The device comprises means for supplying at least a signal distinguishing a bright and a dark environment according to the degree of brightness degree in a passenger compartment of the vehicle. Color pallets have their contents changed according to the information from the supply means. The contents of the registers are changed so that a degree of brightness of background color of a display unit is decreased to less than a decreased degree of brightness of colors displaying the information on the display unit when the output information of the supply means changes from the brightness to the darkness.

    Abstract: A momentarily changing position of a travelling vehicle is correctly identified by a vehicular nagivation system on which a magnetism sensor, angular velocity sensor, travel distance sensor and global positioning system are mounted. The current position of the vehicle is identified by, for example, storing data of a road on a map in the form of numerical values, measuring a predetermined distance which the vehicle has travelled and computing the current position on the road based upon the predetermined distance thus measured.

    Abstract: In an on-board navigation system for motor vehicles, having a memory device in which map data in digital form is stored, and adapted to read-out from the memory device map data of a region of a given area including a present location of the vehicle while recognizing the present location of the vehicle and to display a map on a display screen on the basis of the map data, a switching device for selectively supplying an electric power to the memory device is provided. The switching device is controlled to supply the electric power to the memory device only when the map data is read-out from the memory device. A power switch for selectively supplying the power current to a display unit is also provided, thereby further reduction of the electric power consumption is possible.
