  • Patent number: 6324472
    Abstract: A maneuver generation program for a computer-based navigation system. The navigation system provides a user with a series of maneuvering instructions to go from a first location to a second location in a geographic area. The series of maneuvering instructions are derived from a list of data entities that represent a route from the first location to the second location. The list of data entities includes data that represent a plurality of locations along the route at which maneuvering instructions may be provided. The maneuver generation program determines one and preferably no more than one maneuver type selected from a predetermined plurality of maneuver types for each location of the plurality of locations along the route. The maneuver generation program performs a series of tests upon data corresponding to each location. Each of the plurality of maneuver types is characterized by a unique set of tests selected from a predetermined superset of tests.

  • Patent number: 6312738
    Abstract: A process of producing an azadirachtin-rich aqueous solution is disclosed which comprises de-oiling by pressing whole or ground neem seeds to remove a first proportion of the oil content; extracting the de-oiled neem seeds with a polar organic solvent in which the azadirachtin is soluble but in which polysaccharides and proteins are not substantially soluble; partitioning the organic solvent solution against water to form an aqueous solution of azadirachtin and the remaining oil; and separating the remaining oil from the azadirachtin-rich aqueous solution. Additional steps of the process are also disclosed.
