Abstract: In apparatus and method for navigating a mobile body such as a vehicle through a road map display image, an angle of a displayed traffic intersection with respect to, for example, a lateral axis crossing the traffic intersection is made coincident with an angle of an actually corresponding traffic intersection. That is to say, display coordinates at a predetermined part (for example, the traffic intersection) of a display image in a form of bird's eye view are modified, the predetermined part meaning a view focusing point or area, so that a scale in a longitudinal direction is made coincident with that in a lateral direction at the predetermined part.

Abstract: Liquid crystal compositions which can improve the low .DELTA.n (refractive index anisotropy) of conventional liquid crystal compositions containing a silacyclohexane compound and which retain a low viscosity and hence show no decrease in response speed. Liquid crystal compositions having a high .DELTA.n of 0.13 to 0.25, a low viscosity of 30 cp or less, a low threshold voltage and a high voltage holding ratio can be obtained by adding thereto, as a required component, a compound having both a silacyclohexane ring and a tolan structure, or a miture of a compound having a silacyclohexane ring and a compound having a tolan structure.

Abstract: In a device for recycling a recording medium by removing a film-like image forming substance from the medium, a separating member contacts one side of the medium carrying the substance. The separating member is durable because its surface contacting the medium is provided with a measure against deterioration. Anticorrosion means reduces the deterioration rate of the separating member.
