Abstract: A navigation system that uses a method for transmitting the location of a vehicle to a location remote from the vehicle is provided. The method includes determining a location of the vehicle relative to a road network defined as a first location, and determining a change in the location of the vehicle relative to the road network defined as a second location. The first location may be a first street while the second location is a second street different that the first street. The navigation system then communicates the location of the vehicle to the remote location when vehicle reaches the second location. In another aspect of the present invention, the method includes determining a location of the vehicle relative to a road network defined as a first location. A new location of the vehicle is determined relative to the road network and is defined as a second location.

Abstract: A gambling card game played in three main stages: initial betting and dealing, bet adjustment, and band checking and payouts. In the first stage, each player places an initial bet and is dealt a three-card hand, and the dealer is dealt a single card. In the second stage, each player increases his initial bet by a multiple (within predetermined limits) chosen by the player in dependence on the hand dealt him. A player can also place a Bonus bet if his hand is all court cards. In the third stage, the dealer pays out on bets on hands for which any card in the hand matches the dealer's card in suit and exceeds it in value, and also on Bonus belts (at the same odds) for winning hands.

Abstract: The disclosure pertains to continuous-time filtering. More particularly, it relates to filtering in a feedback control loop, for example in a sigma-delta (??) modulator. The making of a filter for this type of application comes up against a major problem linked to the relativity between the amplitude and phase responses. This limits the possibilities of choice in order to take steps against the instability of the loop. A continuous-time filter with minimum phase variation carries out the bandpass integration of the signal presented at its input. The making of the continuous-time filter as a bandpass integrator raises the problem of achieving a compromise between gain variations and phase variations close to the ?1 critical point, This compromise must lead to the stability of the loop. This problem is resolved by using a continuous-time bandpass integrating filter comprising at least one resonance device with minimum phase variation.
