Abstract: The present invention provides a loading method and apparatus for a map label. The loading method comprises: in response to an instruction to scale up a map, searching for a newly added point of interest in a current visible area of the map after it has been scaled up with respect to the map before it has been scaled up; inheriting a label of an original point of interest of the map before it has been scaled up in the current visible area; and performing collision detection and loading on a label of the newly added point of interest. Compared to the prior art, the present invention can significantly improve the visual experience of a user when loading a map.

Abstract: A method treats an article and more specifically an aircraft surface in order to prevent icing and to provide a coating that emits very low volatile organic compounds (VOC) during application and setting. Icing on critical aircraft surfaces creates dangerous conditions that impair the stability of the aircraft. The specific areas are referred to as “cold-soak” conditions and some areas on the “leading edges” of the wings. The invention eliminates icing on these surfaces. Ice will not form on the surface of certain polymer coatings with low surface energy such as Teflon. This is a consequence of the high contact angle between the water droplet and the surface that establishes a non-wetting surface. The invention implements such coatings and a deposition process. The coating may be used for other objects such as automobiles, consumer products, such as refrigerators, stoves, etc.
