20090305216EXPERIMENTAL METHOD FOR SCIENTIFIC PHENOMENON EVALUATING APPARATUS, AND SCIENTIFIC PHENOMENON EVALUATING APPARATUS - An apparatus for evaluating scientific phenomena by feeding liquid to a minute channel, which is inexpensive, imposes little environmental load and enables advanced technology to be easily enjoyed and can eliminate experimental failures due to the clogging of the minute channel with a bubble, is provided. Before starting the experiment with the experimental liquid, the preparatory step of removing air in the minute channel by vigorously injecting inert dummy liquid which does not react with the experimental liquid into the minute channel and thereby filling the minute channel with the dummy liquid is carried out. If one round of preparatory step proves insufficient to wholly remove the air in the minute channel and a bubble is found in the dummy liquid, the step will be repeated until no bubble is found any longer in the dummy liquid. Next, the experiment is started by supplying the experimental liquid to inlet side liquid reservoirs and causing liquid feeding device to let the dummy liquid filling the minute channel flow to outlet side liquid reservoirs.12-10-2009

20100070170METHOD FOR LOCATING ROAD SHAPES USING ERRONEOUS MAP DATA - When transmitting an on-road location on a digital map, an information provider transmits, as on-road location information, string of coordinates information representing the road shape of a road section including the on-road location having a predetermined length, additional information including at least one information item chosen from a group of the attribute information on the road including the road location and detailed information on the nodes in the road section, and relative information indicating the on-road location in the road section. Receiving party receiving this on-road location information performs shape matching to identify the road section on a digital map and uses relative data to identify the on-road location in this road section. The receiving party can identify the road shape with high accuracy even when only a small amount of string of coordinates data is available. This makes it possible to reduce the data transmission amount and identify an on-load location with high accuracy.03-18-2010
