摘要:
A navigation apparatus is disclosed comprising update functions to update nationwide updated version map data using route-specific update data, and to update the nationwide updated version map data to the next nationwide updated version map data using nationwide update data. A map update processing portion of this navigation apparatus performs updates of map data in the background of navigation control, gives priority to update processing using the route-specific update data over update processing using the nationwide update data, and, if map files to be updated using route-specific update files included in the route-specific update data have not been updated using the nationwide update data, performs updates using the nationwide update data, and then performs updates using route-specific update files.

摘要:
A map data update method for updating nationwide updated version map data using route-specific update data is disclosed. This method has a step of creating route-specific update data, comprising update data for all routes which have been newly opened since the time of release of the nationwide updated version map data; a step of storing a plurality of route-specific update data sets with different creation dates; a step of, when updating the nationwide updated version map data of the time of release stored in a navigation apparatus in use of a prescribed first route-specific update data which has been stored, storing pre-update map files necessary to restore the nationwide updated version map data; and a step of using the first route-specific update data to update the nationwide updated version map data.

摘要:
An on-board vehicle navigation apparatus which gives road directions to a driver which accurately describe the road conditions beyond an intersection at which to turn, without causing any confusion even if the route is complicated. A route planning section 9 determines a route based on the current position of the vehicle which is obtained through a current position determination section 2 and a destination assigned by a destination assignment section 10. The guide intersections which form this route are stored in a guide intersection memory 11. A route guidance section 12 continually monitors the current position of the vehicle and announces navigational instructions through a speaker 13 when the vehicle approaches a guide intersection. The type of navigational instruction is changed depending on the distance between the next two guide intersections through which the vehicle will pass.
摘要:
A heat exchanging unit is provided that includes a closed vessel separated into first and second compartments by a vertical partition plate thereby leaving a passage above the vertical partition plate. The first compartment has a cooling medium inlet pipe connected thereto, and a through pipe, through which a fluid to be cooled is passed. The through pipe is arranged to pass through the first compartment and includes a heat exchange member placed at a location lower than the top of the vertical partition plate. The second compartment is provided with a demister, and a cooling medium gas outlet pipe connected to the demister. A cooling medium liquid outlet pipe is connected to the second compartment. The heat exchanging unit is preferably used as part of a combined heat exchanging apparatus formed by combining the heat exchanging unit with a mist processing unit, or as part of a multistage heat exchanging apparatus formed by integrating two or more of the heat exchanging units.
摘要:
A natural gas processing method includes: a pretreatment process of obtaining a treated natural gas; an NGL recovery process of cooling the treated natural gas obtained in the pretreatment process to recover an NGL product composed of ethane and heavier hydrocarbons and to separate a lean gas; a sales gas production process of compressing a part of the lean gas separated in the NGL recovery process to obtain a high-pressure gas; and a natural gas liquefying process of cooling the high-pressure gas after the high-pressure gas is obtained by compressing the lean gas separated in the NGL recovery process, to thereby obtain the LNG product. In the natural gas processing method, a gas compressor used in the sales gas production process is used as a gas compressor in the natural gas liquefying process.
摘要:
A server generates area-specific particular information beforehand, and obtains positional information and route information from a vehicle-mounted navigation apparatus or a vehicle. The server determines particular information to be sent to the vehicle-mounted navigation apparatus or whether a warning is necessary, for each area segment including location indicated by the positional information and/or the route information. The server then distributes necessary particular information or area-specific threshold data. The vehicle-mounted navigation apparatus receives the information from the server, determines whether or not a warning is necessary in the area segment of the present position of the vehicle using the area-specific threshold data, and displays the particular information or the warning.
摘要:
By making a game with greater richness in its feeling of realism, the level of (player) interest is increased. A game apparatus according to the present invention is equipped with image display means which displays on the screen of monitor a 3-dimensional game field image which includes enemy characters and display means for enlarged images which enlarges the image of the small area corresponding to the part of above-indicated image at which above-indicated model gun is pointed and displays it on liquid crystal unit of scope which is built onto model gun.
摘要:
A precision casting device especially suitable for dental use, which includes melting and casting chambers supported by a frame such that they are arranged coaxially up and down in the frame under a normal operating state and can be drawn horizontally out of the frame during service time in order to facilitate access to the interiors of them, and which is provided with evacuating apparatus and an inert gas supply and can carry out the casting process in which a casting material is molten in an inert atmosphere, the molten material is then supplied to a mold in a vacuum state and, therafter, casting is effected under a pressure of inert atmosphere.
