  • Patent number: 9816831
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a route reconstructing a track through a navigable network in an area covered by an electronic map is disclosed, wherein the track is represented by an ordered series of point locations. One or more of the point locations are selected and an area is defined and associated with each of the one or more selected point locations. The ordered series of point locations and the defined areas are used to determine a plurality of polylines, and, for each of the polylines, a first route is generated based on the respective polyline. A second route is generated through each of the defined areas connecting the respective first generated routes. The route reconstructing the track comprises the generated first routes and the one or more generated second routes.

  • Publication number: 20170276502
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a route through a navigable network in a geographic area is disclosed, the navigable network being represented by an electronic map comprising a plurality of segments each having a traversal direction associated therewith. An area is defined around a location represented by the electronic map, and at least some of the outgoing segments from the area are determined. A first optimum cost route from an origin is determined to each of the determined outgoing segments, and these routes are ranked according to their cost. At least one of the first optimum cost routes is selected based on the ranking, and a second optimum cost route is determined from the outgoing segment from the area of the selected route to a destination. The generated route from the origin to the destination comprises the selected first optimum cost route and the second optimum cost route.

  • Patent number: 9574527
    Abstract: A fresh air system component of a fresh air system serving to supply fresh air to an internal combustion engine may include a housing that may have a first shell and a second shell. The housing may delimit at least one fresh air path that may run from at least one fresh air inlet of the housing to at least one fresh air outlet of the housing. The second shell may be secured along a second shell edge to a first shell edge of the first shell. The second shell edge may be more flexible than the first shell. The second shell may have at least one second support element that may be at a distance from the second shell edge. The second support element may interact with a first support element that is complementary thereto in order to transmit at least one of a tensile force and a compressive force.

  • Patent number: 9473506
    Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for secure file transfer is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system encrypts a file; sends, via a secure channel, a packet to a group having one or more members, the group authorized to access the encrypted file, the packet associated with the encrypted file and including access information for the encrypted file; receives a first request for the encrypted file from a first requestor; and sends the encrypted file to the first requestor via an unsecured channel that performs caching, wherein the first requestor is able to access the encrypted file using the packet when the first requestor is a member of the group authorized to access the encrypted file and received the packet via the secure channel and unable to access the encrypted file when the first requestor is not a member of the group authorized to access the encrypted file.

  • Patent number: 9354343
    Abstract: In seismic survey for icy waters, streamers are towed behind a vessel under the water's surface to avoid ice. GPS readings may not be consistently obtained because the ice prevents a tail buoy with a GPS receiver from trailing from streamer at the surface. Instead, a device tows on the streamer under the water's surface. The streamer's absolute position is tracked by intermittently bringing the towed device toward the surface so GPS readings can be obtained. The streamer's absolute position can then be used in conjunction with compass readings and can correlate various seismic sensor signals obtained along the streamer during the survey. The compass readings can be corrected for declination using declinometer readings, which can be compensated for iron effects from the vessel or other device carrying the declinometer.
