Abstract: Hover based control of a navigation user interface of a mobile electronic device is described. In one or more implementations, an input associated with a menu of an electronic map is detected, and an input type determined. When the input type is a hover input, a menu expand function is executed. The menu expand function causes the menu to expand and reveal a menu having at least one menu item related to the electronic map. When the input type is a touch input, a select function is executed. The select function causes a selection of the at least one menu item of the electronic map of the map navigation application.

Abstract: Techniques are described related to tiles of automated speech recognition data. In an implementation, automated speech recognition (ASR) data is obtained. The ASR data is divided into a plurality of tiles based on an approximate amount of data to be included in each tile. Each of the tiles is a partition of the ASR data.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for determining non-sensed vehicle operating parameters of a vehicle system. The method and system further provide for determining an engine air mass flow rate using the non-sensed vehicle operating parameters. A plurality of vehicle operating set-points may be determined using the non-sensed vehicle system operating parameters and the non-sensed engine air mass flow rate. A controller may use the vehicle operating set-points in order to control emissions of the vehicle system.

Abstract: A navigation device with improved zoom functions is disclosed. The navigation device is generally operable to display a map with varying magnifications and perspectives to enable a user to increase or decrease magnification and perspective without creating a substantial and immediate change in perspective. Such a configuration reduces user confusion due to the elimination of substantial changes in perspective during magnification and demagnification.

Abstract: Techniques are described for generating a dynamic user interface for a position-determining device that may account for a variety of input modes. In one example, a position-determining device is initiated in a first input mode (e.g., a touch screen mode) and a graphical user interface (GUI) of the device is configured to accept input via the first input mode. The position-determining device then receives an indication to switch to a second input mode (e.g., a speech input mode) and the GUI is configured to receive input via the second input mode. The position-determining device can dynamically transition between GUI configurations based on a plurality of input modes.

Abstract: Techniques are described to create a context for use in automated speech recognition. In an implementation, a determination is made as to which data received by a position-determining device is selectable to initiate one or more functions of the position-determining device, wherein at least one of the functions relates to position-determining functionality. A dynamic context is generated to include one or more phrases taken from the data based on the determination. An audio input is translated by the position-determining device using one or more said phrases from the dynamic context.

Abstract: Techniques are described related to tiles of automatic speech recognition data. In an implementation, automated speech recognition (ASR) data is obtained. The ASR data is divided into a plurality of tiles based on an approximate amount of data to be included in each tile. Each of the tiles is a geographic partition of the ASR data.

Abstract: Route shaping systems and methods determine a route from a current location through a shape location to a destination. An area of interest is determined for the shape location, and a highest road class for road segments through the interest area is identified. A route is calculated from a starting location through the interest area to the destination, and the route includes a selected road segment through the interest area with the highest road class.

Abstract: A system for controlling engine air/fuel ratio includes an engine, a compressor having an inlet receiving air. The compressor discharges air to the engine intake. A recirculation path is provided from the compressor discharge to the compressor inlet. A controllable valve is located along the recirculation path. A controller is programmed to control the valve to vary the air flow to the engine intake, thereby controlling the air/fuel ratio. Various applications for the compressor recirculation arrangement are possible.

Abstract: A turbocharged internal combustion engine is operated such that the intake manifold pressure generally exceeds the exhaust manifold pressure. A low pressure turbocharger and a high pressure turbocharger are provided in series. An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system passively routes a portion of the exhaust gases to the high pressure turbocharger compressor inlet.
