Abstract: Disclosed is a feature for a vehicle that enables taking precautionary actions in response to conditions on the road network around or ahead of the vehicle, in particular, an intersection without traffic signals and without a sufficient merge lane. A database that represents the road network is used to determine locations where roads meet without a traffic signal and without a sufficient merge lane. Then, precautionary action data is added to the database to indicate a location at which a precautionary action is to be taken about the location of the insufficient merge lane. A precautionary action system installed in a vehicle uses this database, or a database derived therefrom, in combination with a positioning system to determine when the vehicle is at a location that corresponds to the location of a precautionary action. When the vehicle is at such a location, a precautionary action is taken by a vehicle system as the vehicle is approaching a location of an insufficient merge lane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a printer control system and a method for controlling the printing of an object on a support in a number of pass images on top of each other. The object has a surface of varying height. The printer control system comprises a user interface having a display device and arranged to visualize in a window on the display device a preview image before printing of the object. The preview image comprises a representation of the surface of the object. The printer control system further comprises an analysis section which is configured to analyze the pass images in order to predict before printing the object a location of a contouring artefact at the surface of the object, and a transformation section which is configured to transform the predicted location into a contour representation to be added to the preview image. The contour representation is visually distinguishable from the representation of the surface of the object in the preview image.

Abstract: An approach is provided for generating a targeted map display from a plurality of data sources. A mapping platform receives at least one request to provision at least one targeted map display for at least one device based, at least in part, on at least one targeted mapping object. The at least one targeted mapping object includes one or more parameters for retrieving targeted content from a plurality of data sources. The mapping platform also determines one or more map item detail records based, at least in part, on the one or more parameters. The one or more map item detail records include payload content assembled from the plurality of data sources about one or more map items. The mapping platform then causes, at least in part, a selective updating of the one or more map item detail records based, at least in part, on one or more validity criteria for provisioning the at least one targeted map display.

Abstract: A method for compensating phase shift is provided. The method includes sweeping a transmitter (TX) clock frequency over a frequency range and sampling resistance values at a receiver (RX) circuit while sweeping the TX clock frequency. A first frequency in the frequency range is determined which corresponds to a maximum resistance value sampled at the RX circuit. Using a look-up table (LUT), a phase adjust value is determined based on the first frequency. A phase of the TX clock is adjusted based on the phase adjust value.
