Apr 28, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/117556

Inventors:

Jeffrey R. Bach - Gurnee IL, US

Assignee:

Dynamic Fuel Systems, Inc. - Gurnee IL

International Classification:

F02B 43/00

US Classification:

123529, 123525, 123526, 123528, 123198 DB

Abstract:

A propane injector system for internal combustion engines for improving performance, fuel efficiency, safety, cleanliness and environmental friendliness. The system consists of introducing propane gas into “a black box” that has a pressure reducing valve to drop propane pressure as it flows initially from its storage tank and through an electronically controlled on/off valve. Propane enters an injector manifold where it is distributed to two specially designed gas handling fuel injectors that act as variable flow rate pumps controlled by a programmable microprocessor that is pre programmed for specific vehicles or can be customized with improved performance programming as determined by the vehicle owner. A pressure feedback system senses when the engine blower has caused a pressure boost on its high side feeding the cylinders. Transducers located in a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor detect the pressure boost and communicate with the microprocessor.

International Classification:

G06K 9/00
G01C 21/00

US Classification:

382100, 701200, 382218

Abstract:

Systems, devices, features, and methods for navigating on images are disclosed. For example, one method includes identifying a point selected on an initial image. An image component, such as a pixel, of the initial image corresponding to the identified point is determined. The image component of the initial image represents an origin. A route from the origin to a destination is generated, and the destination corresponds to another image component, such as another pixel.

Abstract:

Systems, devices, features, and methods for obtaining, enhancing, or using data for or with a geographic database, such as a navigation database, are disclosed. For example, one method includes receiving input to enable a probe sensor that is associated with a device used by a being with a physical disability. Geographic data is collected via the probe sensor when the device is in use by the being with the physical disability. The collected geographic data is provided to a data collection facility to develop data corresponding to a geographic and/or navigation database.

International Classification:

G01C 21/00
G01C 21/36

US Classification:

701438

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a method that includes (a) receiving a query for one or more areas accessible from a starting location (e.g., a current location) by public transit under one or more trip conditions, (b) identifying one or more areas accessible from the starting location by public transit under one or more trip conditions, and (c) displaying a map that highlights the accessible one or more areas (e.g., a map that depicts only the accessible one or more areas or a map that shades the one or more areas). The one or more trip conditions may include time of day, maximum length of time, maximum travel cost, preferred and/or permitted public transit types, maximum walking distance, maximum number of transfers, etc.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707722

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a mobile device or a server updates search results on a three dimensional map. The three dimensional map may include outlines of buildings. A first partial search query is received and a map database is queried based on the first partial search query. A set of map results are output or displayed based on the first partial search query. A second partial search query is received that includes the first partial search query. The set of map results is narrowed or filtered and a subset of the set of map results is output or displayed.

International Classification:

G01S 19/45

US Classification:

34235728

Abstract:

In one embodiment, the position of a mobile device is determined based, at least on part, of the relative locations of two or more nearby points. Distance data, received from a range finding sensor, corresponds to distances to the two or more nearby points from the mobile device. A predetermined model that includes previously recorded locations for objects is accessed to receive location data for two or more nearby points. A position of the mobile device is calculated based on the location data and the distance data. The nearby points may be building edges or building corners. The calculation may involve a series of equations. The series of equations may include satellite-based positioning equations in addition to equations based on the predetermined model.
