A navigation device, an information display device, an object creating method, and a storage medium, in which a display unit, which is integrally formed with a touch panel, displays a map together with control buttons, including a mark setting button and a mark erasing button, which have specific processing associated therewith. When coordinates for a desired point on the map and a mark button are specified on the touch panel, a mark creating unit creates a mark object and displays it at a position on a map corresponding to specified coordinates.

A parking assisting apparatus is provided in which even a beginner can relaxedly park a vehicle and parking operation is pertinently assisted. The apparatus provides a cameras 1 for taking an image rearwardly of a vehicle during parking the vehicle. The image from the camera is displayed on a display 13 provided inside the vehicle as a rear image and a running prediction locus 20 is displayed which varies in accordance with the state of a steering wheel angle to overlap the rear image. A longitudinal line parking switch 4b instructs the vehicle to park along a longitudinal line and when the longitudinal line parking is instructed there is displayed a running prediction locus 20a having a point of inflection in accordance with the steering wheel angle.

A method and system for remote control of self-propelled vehicles includes a leader vehicle and at least one follower vehicle located behind the leader vehicle. The leader vehicle traverses a waypoint, determines a first set of GPS coordinates corresponding to the waypoint, and transmits the first set of GPS coordinates to the follower vehicle. The follower vehicle determines a second set of GPS coordinates corresponding to its own position and compares the first set of GPS coordinates to the second set of GPS coordinates. By controlling steering, drive and braking systems of the follower vehicle with a servo-actuator, the follower vehicle is guided toward the waypoint by minimizing the difference between the first and second sets of GPS coordinates. This process is repeated at a succession of waypoints such that the follower vehicle traverses the same course as the leader vehicle.

In order to set target positions in the case where mobile bodies such as mobile robots transfer in accordance with a manner different from that of the prior art, a method for instructing such target positions of at least one or more of the mobile bodies contained movably in a predetermined environment comprises light beacons being produced by a light beam projecting device in a surface on which the mobile bodies are to be transferred, whereby the target positions towards which the mobile bodies are to be transferred being instructed.

Disclosed is a method for establishing and utilizing electronic tracks on roads for ground vehicles so as to ease the driving task with added safety and efficiency. Electronic tracks define traces on roads guiding the movement of a ground vehicle in as much as the same way that railroad tracks confine the movement of a train. Speed control can be achieved by using equipments detecting the driving conditions and the road environment along with the gliding action of the ground vehicle on electronic tracks. Automation in driving is thus possible, at least partially. Electronic map can be constructed consisting of many of the electronic tracks. Based upon both the static and dynamic information on roads, an electronic map is able to configure an optimal route connecting two addresses with the shortest time in traveling.

The device (1) comprises a first means (3) for measuring the effective value of the velocity vector of the aircraft, a computing unit (4) which determines a display value automatically and repetitively and which comprises a filtering means (6) which filters the value measured by the first means (3) so as to form a first term, a display unit (7) for presenting on a screen (2) a characteristic sign illustrating the velocity vector whose position on the screen (2) is representative of the display value, and a second means (9) for determining the derivative of a velocity vector controlled by an aircraft pilot. The computing unit (4) further comprises a computing means (10) which determines a second term from the derivative of the controlled velocity vector and a summator (12) which sums the first and second terms so as to form the display value.

The behavior of the bogie of a muliple-axle vehicle is monitored. Accelerations of at least two axles of the bogie are measured with acceleration sensors allocated to the axles. The sensor signals are subjected to a Fourier transformation in FFT units. The frequency profiles resulting from the Fourier transform are compared with profiles that are stored in memory. Differences that are detected are compared with threshold values and messages are correspondingly sent to the system that controls the vehicle. The monitoring system allows mechanical operating errors of the bogie to be detected independently of effects caused by the running surface upon which the vehicle travels.

An emergency control system permits an aircraft to recover from a catastrophic loss of cabin pressure even if the pilot becomes incapacitated before he is able to activate an emergency oxygen system. An autopilot system is programmed for rapid descent, in response to a cabin depressurization condition detected by an air pressure sensor, to a flight level where there is sufficient oxygen in the atmosphere to sustain full consciousness. When in the rapid descent mode, the autopilot cuts engine power to idle, reduces the angle of attack, maximizes parasitic drag, and initiates a maximum descent rate without exceeding the aircraft's design limitations. As the aircraft approaches a lower altitude capable of sustaining full human consciousness, the autopilot system increases the angle of attack, reduces parasitic drag, and increases engine power, thereby causing the aircraft to fly level at the lower altitude until the pilot reasserts control of the aircraft.
摘要:
A system which operates a digitally controlled model railroad transmitting a first command from a first client program to a resident external controlling interface through a first communications transport. A second command is transmitted from a second client program to the resident external controlling interface through a second communications transport. The first command and the second command are received by the resident external controlling interface which queues the first and second commands. The resident external controlling interface sends third and fourth commands representative of the first and second commands, respectively, to a digital command station for execution on the digitally controlled model railroad.

A system for presenting information to passengers in a conveyance, has a computer which stores operation diagram information; a storage medium which stores a plurality of advertisement data items to be presented to the passengers; and an information presenting device. The computer obtains an operation time in each operation section on the basis of the operation diagram information and identification data for identifying the conveyance, and selects and arranges some of the advertisement data items to generate presentation data for continuously presenting information to the passengers throughout a time period corresponding to the operation time. The information presenting device reproduces the presentation data corresponding to each operation section to present the information to the passengers in each operation section of the conveyance.
