摘要:
A navigation instrument comprises a first counter for counting travelling distance from a start point, a second counter for counting travelling time from starting, a means for setting a scheduled average vehicle speed, an arithmetic means for calculating average vehicle speed, the deviation of travelling distance from the scheduled distance and the deviation of travelling time from the scheduled time, and a display means for displaying the result of calculation. The first counter is capable of subtractively counting travelling distance in response to switching operation of a switching means which is incorporated to the first counter. The first counter is also incorporated with a means for stopping navigating operation which is operative when the first counter counts down the travelling distance until a given value.

A navigation instrument for use with a roadway vehicle comprises an arithmetic means producing three data signals showing the average speed of the vehicle, the deviation of the travelling distance from a scheduled one, and the deviation of the travelling time from a scheduled one, and a display means for displaying the three data sequentially fed from the arithmetic means through a signal selector means. The arithmetic means includes travelling distance/time deviation accumulating means for adding the deviation of the travelling distance/time with respect to the average speed initially set to the deviations of the travelling distance/time whenever the average speed is altered. Thus, the navigation instrument of the present invention makes it possible to calculate and display the travelling distance/time deviation accumulated value when the average speed of the vehicle is altered on the way of vehicle travelling.

A display of images on a screen which is installed in an automotive vehicle for displaying the driving direction and location of the automotive vehicle within a graphic pattern, such as a drive map, comprising: (a) a screen device; (b) a first memory unit in which data of a graphic pattern to be displayed on said screen device is stored; (c) a second memory unit in which at least one word and mark to be superimposed on the graphic pattern and those positional data on the graphic pattern are stored; (d) a signal generator which outputs a command signal to rotate the graphic pattern on said screen unit by an angle with respect to an original position; (e) a shift circuit which shifts the positions of all words and marks stored in said second memory unit to those rotated at the angle corresponding to the command signal from said signal generator; and (f) an image control unit which controls the display of graphic pattern rotated by the angle corresponding to the command signal from said signal generator on said screen unit and controls the superimposition of at least one word and mark stored in said second memory unit on the position of the graphic pattern shifted by said shift circuit.
摘要:
An electronic liquid level gauge for measuring the level of a liquid contained in a vessel by employing an electrode pair immersed in the liquid. The electrode pair is associated with an oscillator which generates pulses of a repetition period directly proportional to the electrostatic capacity of the electrode pair. A counter is provided which is reset by an oscillator pulse and starts counting reference pulses of a predetermined repetition rate with a predetermined time delay relative to the occurrence of the oscillator pulse.

A road map display system for an automotive vehicle displays a mark representative of a vehicle's position and direction. The mark is positioned at the center of a display screen and the coordinate system of the map is transformed depending on the vehicle's direction so that the mark indicative of the direction is always directed upward along the y-axis of the display. The system further includes a scale selector which is manually operable. Depending on the selected map scale, the displayed map is magnified or reduced.

An automatic seat positioning device for a vehicle driver's seat wherein a reversible motor is engaged with one of electromagnetic clutches and rotates so that an associated seat member actuating mechanism moves one of the seat members to a desired position for a specific driver from an initial position upto a maximum movable end. In such an automatic seat positioning device of the construction described above, a seat position detector corresponding to the seat member for detecting that the seat member arrives at a specific position at which the detector is located and a preset control circuit for presetting a counter, which indicates the set position of the seat member by counting the number of rotations of the motor, to a value corresponding to the number of rotations of the motor by which the seat member is moved from an initial starting position to the specific position are provided so that an indication error of the counter can be canceled due to slips which occur whenever the motor is repetitively started and stopped, engaged with the electromagnetic clutch. In addition, the automatic seat positioning device stores the positional data of the seat member set at the desired position from the counted value of the counter in a memory provided therewithin in order to return the current set position of the seat member to an originally set position on a basis of the stored data. In this case, a memory correction circuit is provided which corrects an erroneous stored data to an accurate value corresponding to the actual position in response to the presetting of the counter according to the number of times by which a manual switch which energizes the motor in a normal or reverse direction is operated. Therefore, the seat member can more accurately be returned to the originally set position.
摘要:
Caspase activity and apoptosis are promoted using active, dimeric Smac peptide mimetics of the general formula M1-L-M2, wherein moieties M1 and M2 are monomeric Smac mimetics and L is a covalent linker. Target cancerous or inflammatory cells are contacted with an effective amount of an active, dimeric Smac mimetic, and a resultant increase in apoptosis of the target cells is detected. The contacting step may be effected by administering to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the dimeric mimetic, wherein the individual may be subject to concurrent or antecedent radiation or chemotherapy for treatment of a neoproliferative pathology.

A first Peltier device Pe1 and at least one second Peltier device Pe2 having a current consumption smaller than that of the first Peltier device Pe1 are connected to each other in series, while a bypass circuit B for diverting an excess current I3 with respect to the second Peltier device Pe2 is connected to the second Peltier device Pe2 in parallel, so that a driving current I1 from a current control section A drives the first Peltier device Pe1 at its optimum operating point, and the excess current I3 with respect to the second Peltier device Pe2 in the driving current I1 is diverted into the bypass circuit B, so as to allow the second Peltier device Pe2 to be driven at its optimum operating point as well, where by the cooling efficiency can be improved. Also, the first and second Peltier devices Pe1, Pe2 are stacked on each other, while all the Peltier devices Pe1, Pe2 are driven by the single common current control section A, so as to attain a smaller size.
