    摘要: The invention provides a system which can select a less crowded road as a road section of a guidance route. The vehicle navigation system executes a route search from a departing point or the present position of the vehicle to the destination and provides guidance for the guidance route, taking into account whether a road is in a city area or a suburban area. The vehicle navigation system includes an information memory for storing map information for each road section, a route search routine for searching for a route from the present position to the destination based on map information stored in the information memory, and a decision routine for determining whether a road to be searched is in a city area or in a suburban area, and wherein the route search searches for a route by weighting the roads which are determined to be in the city area in order to give a lower preference thereto.

    摘要: A fuel cell power generating apparatus using a fuel cell (10) having a structure such that a cathode and an anode are disposed on opposite sides of a polymer electrolyte membrane, comprising: an air introduction passage (11) for introducing air to the cathode; an air discharge passage (15) for discharging, to the outside of the system, discharge gas containing reactant water generated at the cathode; a circulation passage (16) connected between the air discharge passage and the air introduction passage in order to again introduce at least a portion of the discharge gas flowing through the air discharge passage to the air introduction passage and thus to the cathode; a valve (17) provided for at least one of the air introduction passage and the air discharge passage; a temperature sensor (22) for measuring the temperature of the discharge gas from the cathode; an ampere meter (19) for measuring the level of an electric current output from the fuel cell; and a control unit (18) for controlling the degree of opening of the valve in accordance with the temperature of the discharge gas and the output level of the electric current measured respectively by the temperature sensor and the ampere meter. A portion of the discharge gas containing reactant water is circulated into the air introduction passage and thus to the cathode of the fuel cell to thereby humidify the electrolyte membrane, so that there is no need to supply water from the outside of the system. The apparatus is particularly suitable to be mounted on a vehicle.
