Abstract: An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and system for digital indoor navigation. An embodiment may include determining an area type for each distinct area depicted within the digital indoor mapping image based on an identified color used as a fill for each distinct area. In response to receiving a request for indoor navigation comprising a starting point and a destination point within the image, an embodiment may include determining a navigation path from the starting point to the destination point based on analysis of the request and the determined area types, wherein the navigation path traverses one or more distinct areas depicted within the image based on the identified color.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and system for digital indoor navigation. An embodiment may include creating navigational directions corresponding to a navigation path on a digital indoor mapping image. The navigational directions comprise prompts for user action and contextual information of at least one determined area type for at least one distinct area depicted within the digital indoor mapping image through which the navigation path traverses. An area type determination for a distinct area is based on an identified color used as a fill for the distinct area. An embodiment may include presenting the created navigational directions along with the navigation path.

Abstract: A method of calculating an impact resistance of a structure undergoing an impact with an impact surface is disclosed. The structure includes a first part bonded or secured to a second part, at least the first part comprising a material having a crush failure mode. The method comprises: a) determining that a finite element representing a portion of the first part is experiencing conditions which dictate that it will undergo the crush failure mode; b) determining a behaviour of the structure assuming it is subject to: i) an ongoing resistance force representing the crush failure mode of the element; and ii) a further force F acting on the first and second parts in a direction tending to separate them.

Abstract: A thin film mirror, comprising: a mirror shell (605); a reflective film (601) stretched between forming structures (603) provided on said mirror shell and reflective film being arranged such that they form a chamber which is capable of being placed under at least partial vacuum; the mirror shell having an inner surface which forms an inner wail of said chamber, wherein the mirror shell is a moulded part where its inner surface is a controlled surface.

Abstract: A method of determining the impact resistance of a structure including a crushable material comprises the steps of determining for one or more layers of a finite element of the material during an impact whether the element or layer thereof is to be treated as failing by crushing. If the element or layer is determined to fail by crushing, a load-bearing portion of the structure is defined and the load-bearing portion is treated for the purpose of subsequent calculations as exhibiting an ongoing resistance.
