A system and method for making computer-generated maps includes a different scale factor for each road in a route. The scale factors are used to optimize the route map against a target function that considers factors such as the number of false intersections in the route and the number of roads falling below a minimum length threshold. A refinement technique such as simulated annealing is used to find a solution to the target function. Each road in the scaled map is rendered to provide a finished product having the appearance of a hand-drawn map. The finished product includes context roads that intersect the main route but are not part of the main route. Furthermore, the hand-drawn map is optimized to the characteristics of the viewport used to visualize the map.

The present invention relates to an improved method of displaying nodes, and links between nodes. Instead of the conventional method of displaying nodes and links as points and lines respectively, in accordance with the present invention, the nodes are each represented by parallel node lines. The links are then represented by link lines drawn perpendicular to the node lines, each of said link lines terminating at the node lines representing the nodes connected by the link represented by the link line. A graphical user interface incorporating this improved method of displaying nodes and links is also contemplated.

The invention discloses a cap with a bluetooth headset which is in the technology field of daily supplies, including a cap body. The cap body has a bluetooth headset which comprises a transceiver and two acoustic generators on the right and left respectively, the transceiver is set at either position of the cap body, each of the acoustic generators are respectively set at a side of the cap body corresponding to the ears. A piece of lead is used to connect the transceiver and acoustic generators. Compared with prior art, the invention provides dual-track voice, so as to make communication clearer, reduce noise influence on environment. The acoustic generators are fixed on both sides of the cap body so firmly that it is not prone to be dropped and lost, even under movement states, it is still very firm. The invention is applicable to outside activities, travel, riding etc.

An image of the shape of a semiconductor wafer is displayed on a display apparatus for displaying an inspection result of a semiconductor device, and a different color or pattern is displayed for each inspection result as display information indicating the inspection result of a semiconductor device in a region corresponding to the semiconductor device on the image of the semiconductor wafer.

One or more devices, systems, methods and storage mediums for performing ablation planning and / or ablation performance are provided. Examples of applications for such devices, systems, methods and storage mediums include imaging, evaluating and diagnosing biological objects, such as, but not limited to, lesions and tumors, and such devices, systems, methods and storage mediums may be used for radiotherapy applications (e.g., to determine whether to place seed(s) for radiotherapy). Preferably, a medial axis or a center line for a predetermined biological object (e.g., a lesion or tumor) is determined / found, one or more target points are picked along the medial axis or center line, and the ablation or radiotherapy zones are defined and optimized. Security checks may be performed in one or more embodiments to ensure proper use of the equipment and patient information.

Communication apparatus and devices for surgical robotic systems are described. The communication apparatus can include a user console in communication with a communication device having a surgical tool. The communication device can include a microphone to convert a sound input into an acoustic input signal. The communication device can transmit the acoustic input signal to the user console for reproduction as a sound output for a remote operator. The surgical tool can include an endoscope having several microphones mounted on a housing. The surgical tool can be a sterile barrier having a microphone and a drape. The microphone(s) of the surgical tools can face a surrounding environment such that a tableside staff is a source of the sound input that causes the sound output, and a surgeon and the tableside staff can communicate in a noisy environment. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

A method and corresponding device for turning at least one steerable wheel of a motor vehicle during parking on a longitudinal inclination of a roadway includes activating a parking brake of the motor vehicle, ascertaining the inclination angle of the vehicle inclination that is effected by the longitudinal inclination of a roadway, and turning the steerable wheel to achieve a wheel angle as a function of at least one specifiable and / or ascertained parameter. The setting of the magnitude of the wheel angle takes place as a function of at least one surroundings situation of the motor vehicle, ascertained using at least one sensor. The corresponding device cooperates with a parking brake, an inclination angle sensor, a steering device, and a surroundings recording device having at least one sensor.

An electronic interface control system for a pneumatic vehicle safety lift system has a computer that receives sensor inputs, presents outputs, and receives commands from a user. The computer has its power from an automobile and operates an air compressor for air hoses. The computer operates a pneumatic jack upon an automobile. The computer reads sensors related to jack position and triggers indicators to the user so the jack raises the vehicle after a footplate rests below it in a safe manner. The system lifts a vehicle stuck or undergoing repair. The computer checks that a certain number of jacks, preferably one, activate at once. The computer checks by inquiring of the sensors and switches deployed upon a vehicle and within a carrying case. The carrying case has a safety strut for the jack and a torque gun for a user.

A terminal apparatus and a controlling method thereof are provided. The controlling method, according to an exemplary embodiment, includes displaying a plurality of messages which are transmitted / received to / from another terminal apparatus, when one of a plurality of the displayed message is selected, displaying an input window to generate a response message of the selected message, when a transmission command is input after a response message is input on the input window, transmitting identification information of the selected message and the response message to the another terminal apparatus, and displaying the response message around the selected message. Accordingly, the terminal apparatus may clarify correlation between messages which are transmitted / received by controlling each of a plurality of messages which are transmitted / received to / from other terminal apparatuses independently, thereby helping produce clear communication between users through those transmitted / received messages.

In an on-board hands-free communication apparatus, a gain of an amplifier of a speaker for outputting an incoming voice signal from a telephone device varies with a volume set value of a speaker volume switch adjusted by an user. When the gain of the amplifier increases equal to or greater than a threshold value, a feature extraction amplification circuit performs a feature extraction amplification processing to apparently amplify output power of the incoming voice signal, and a control circuit fixes the gain of the amplifier to the threshold value regardless of the volume set value.
