Personality traits displayed on a workbench are grouped into a character profile that is utilized in determining the personality and/or specific actions of a synthetic character. The personality traits are selectable by an operator from graduated dials. The personality traits may also be displayed in the form of selectable attributes or trait indicative behaviors that, when selected, are mapped into predetermined amounts of each trait in the character profile. The character profile is utilized to compute activation levels for primary behaviors, which are selected to influence or direct behavior of the synthetic character. Secondary behaviors are also selected, but discarded if conflicting with the selected primary behaviors. When behaviors are selected, the corresponding behaviors are translated into classes of ‘personality effectors’ that modulate the synthetic character's behavioral expression to reflect the desired set of traits.

A method is provided for unmanned control of at least one vehicle by a central processing unit. The central processing unit controls the at least one vehicle on a route determined by the central processing unit from a first location on the route to at least one second location on the route. The second location on the route is a parking site. The central processing unit further controls the vehicle so that the vehicle, after a parking operation at the second location, is provided automatically to a user for acceptance at a retrieval location as further location on the route. The route is calculated by the central processing unit dynamically depending on information concerning further routes for further vehicles managed by the central processing unit.

A method of displaying a navigation map includes preprocessing photorealistic three- dimensional data offline. A location of a vehicle is automatically determined online. A portion of the preprocessed photorealistic three-dimensional data is identified that is associated with objects that are disposed within a geographic area. The geographic area includes the location of the vehicle. A nonphotorealistic image is rendered based on the identified portion of the preprocessed data. The nonphotorealistic image is electronically displayed to a user within the vehicle.

Whenever a DSLAM or a network node receives a Group Join message, it compares the MAC address of the originating STB to that of previous Join messages with their existing connections. If a match is found, then the DSLAM will initiate a GSQ for the group of the matching previous Join request. If there is not enough resources to satisfy the requirements of Group Join messages, then it may either be ignored, or queued for later processing, once the normal GSQ sequence is complete and resources are available. If the multicast group is no longer needed, the connection to the group is then terminated, as per normal GSQ processing. This frees up bandwidth for any new Join messages. The normal GSQ processing clears the trouble caused by the loss of Leave Message.

The group of inventions relates to nuclear techniques and to power industry.

The nuclear power plant contains a nuclear reactor (1) cooled by liquid metal, for example lead. Heated-up liquid metal is cooling in heat exchanger <<liquid metal-gas>> (3). This heat exchanger is embodied as not-mixing heat exchanger. The pump (2) moves cooled liquid metal through the filters into the reactor (1). The compressor (4) moves gas through heat exchanger <<liquid metal-gas>> (3) into gas turbines (8, 9, 10, 22, 23, 24). After gas turbines this gas vaporizes and overheats the water in heat exchangers <<gas-water>> (5, 6, 7) and moves back to compressor (3). Produced steam moves the steam turbines (12, 13), condenses into the water by means of condenser (15) and circulation pump (16) and then is moved by the pumps (17, 20) back to heat exchangers <<gas-water>> (5, 6, 7). At least one of gas turbines (22, 23, 24) is coupled by shaft with at least one of said pumps (16, 17, 20), and in steam turbines (12, 13) the channels are embodied for the heating medium. Said channels are embodied in the directing device of the steam turbine (12, 13) and/or in driving wheels of the steam turbine (12, 13). Said channels are series connected among them in a direction of a steam course in the turbine (12, 13). The gas after gas turbines (8, 9, 10, 22, 23, 24) is used besides heat exchangers (5, 6, 7) as said heating medium and after that moves into compressor (3). The nitrogen, air, helium, carbon dioxide or their mix are used as said gas.

Said group of inventions makes it possible to increase the heat efficiency of nuclear power plant with a reactor cooled by liquid metal at least up to 50% and to preserve high heat efficiency of this plant at frequent multiple reduction of used capacity of this plant, for example at nights.
