  • Publication number: 20240011780
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a vehicle-icon-animation system that determines render orientations for rendering a vehicle icon to represent a public transportation vehicle traveling along a predicted route. For example, based on analyzing public transit information, the disclosed systems can determine render orientations corresponding to locations of a public transportation vehicle along a predicted route. In addition, the disclosed systems can render (or cause a client device to render) a vehicle icon to portray the public transportation vehicle pointing in different render orientations at various locations along the predicted route. Further, the disclosed systems can update the vehicle icon to render it in a new location within a graphical map display based on updated public transit information.

  • Patent number: 6596226
    Abstract: A process for producing a thermoelectric material based on two or more elements selected in the group constituted by Bi, Sb, Te and Se, which process comprises: i. an alloying step wherein determined amounts of the elements Bi, Sb, Te or Se are mixed until an homogenous powdered alloy is obtained; ii. an extrusion step of the powdered homogenous alloy obtained in the preceding step. The elements Bi, Sb, Te or Se being preferably mechanically mixed in an homogenous powdered alloy. The thermoelectric material, which are obtainable by this process, exhibits improved thermoelectric and mechanical properties and are therefore suitable, for example, as cooler, as temperature stabilizer in a electronic device or as power generator.
