20100106403 | Navigation System with Downloadable Map Data - A system and method are disclosed for providing geographic data to end users' mobile units from a remotely located navigation services provider so that navigation functions can be provided locally on the mobile units. While a user is operating a mobile unit to specify a destination for which route information is desired, an initial set of geographic data is downloaded from the remotely located navigation services provider. The initial set of geographic data represents an area located around a current position of the mobile unit when specification of the destination is initiated. Once the destination has been specified, data indicating the destination is used by the remotely located navigation services provider to calculate a route to the destination. The navigation services provider provides data to the mobile unit that identifies one or more intermediate exit points along the route that are located within the initial set of geographic data downloaded to the mobile unit so that the mobile unit can calculate an initial portion of the route to the one or more intermediate exit points. The navigation services provider also determines a list that identifies the remaining groupings of geographic data needed to represent the route. The navigation services provider transmits this list to the mobile unit and then transmits each of the needed groupings of geographic data to the mobile unit. An intermediate exit point is identified for each grouping of data transmitted to the mobile unit. Using the geographic data received from the navigation services provider, the mobile unit provides guidance to the end user for following the route to the destination. | 04-29-2010 |

20090048510 | Fiducial Marker for Correlating Images - The invention relates to a fiducial marker having a marking grid that is used to correlate and view images produced by different imaging modalities or different imaging and viewing modalities. More specifically, the invention relates to the fiducial marking grid that has a grid pattern for producing either a viewing image and/or a first analytical image that can be overlaid with at least one other second analytical image in order to view a light path or to image different imaging modalities. Depending on the analysis, the grid pattern has a single layer of a certain thickness or at least two layers of certain thicknesses. In either case, the grid pattern is imageable by each imaging or viewing modality used in the analysis. Further, when viewing a light path, the light path of the analytical modality cannot be visualized by viewing modality (e.g., a light microscope objective). By correlating these images, the ability to analyze a thin sample that is, for example, biological in nature but yet contains trace metal ions is enhanced. Specifically, it is desired to analyze both the organic matter of the biological sample and the trace metal ions contained within the biological sample without adding or using extrinsic labels or stains. | 02-19-2009 |
