  • Patent number: 8474813
    Abstract: A blocking module is used for blocking at least an object from passing through a rail. The blocking module includes a linkage member and a blocking member. The linkage member has a first end and a second end, and there is a buffering space at a side of the first end. The blocking member has a pivoting end and a free end, in which the pivoting end is pivoted at the second end and the free end hangs down under the pivoting end due to gravity. When the free end of the blocking member leans against on the object on the rail, the object applies a counterforce onto the blocking member so as to drive the first end of the linkage member to move towards the buffering space. The invention also discloses a multi-function printer.

  • Patent number: 8478522
    Abstract: A map-updating-data creating apparatus performs, for each old map file, creating a map-updating file for rewriting the map file to a new map file, determining the serial number of each of the updated map files, creating a serial number management file in which marks are respectively written at positions corresponding to the serial numbers, and generating, as map-updating data, the map-updating file and the serial number management file. A navigation apparatus performs map-updating processing and determines, by referring to the serial number management file, whether a map file has already been updated. The navigation apparatus uses the map-updating file to execute navigation control if the map file has already been updated, and updates the map file and subsequently executes the navigation control if the map file has not been updated.

  • Patent number: 8477097
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and system for controlling a display device. In one embodiment, a start position is registered which defines the first position and orientation of a remote controller relative to the position of the display device. When movement of the remote controller is detected, a second position and orientation of the remote controller is determined. A point on the display device is determined where a mathematical line extending from the front edge of the remote controller along its longitudinal axis intersects the front plane of the display device. Finally, a message is sent for causing a cursor displayed on the display device to be moved to the point where the mathematical line intersects the front plane of the display device.
