20090326798	METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMISING ROUTES PROVIDED BY NAVIGATION SYSTEMS - A method of controlling a navigation system. Navigation systems which are capable of gathering historical information concerning routes taken by a number of individual vehicles are known. Such systems rely on a central database to analyse and store the historical information of all the participating vehicles. The central database can therefore suggest an improved route to a vehicle based on the analysis of the information gathered from the participating vehicles. However, as the central database analyses historical information received from a number of different types of vehicles (e.g. delivery trucks, taxis, motorbikes etc.), the routes suggested by the system are often inappropriate for a specific type of vehicle. For example, a route which is appropriate for a motorbike is often not appropriate for a truck, and vice versa. A method of controlling a navigation system is provided which builds up historical information of routes taken by a vehicle and uses this information to provide an appropriate route for the vehicle based upon deviations from suggested routes stored upon a mobile computer unit of the navigation system of the vehicle.	12-31-2009

If some deployable components require the execution of some steps after they have been updated, these steps are executed after the update occurs. If some of the deployable components specified in the deployment order template are not available for update, the deployment sequence skips the steps associated with these deployable component.	06-17-2010

20100052361	RETRACTABLE CURVED AIR DAM - A retractable curved air dam assembly is provided for improving the aerodynamic characteristics of a motor vehicle. The air dam assembly is segmented to include a plurality of panel members each adapted to pivotably attach to the underside of the front-end vehicle structure. The panel members are configured to selectively transition between a deployed position, in which the panel members are preferably in a generally vertical orientation, and a stowed position, in which the panel members are in a generally horizontal orientation. The panel members are shingled (i.e., partially overlapped) such that pivoting a center panel from the deployed position to the stowed position thereby pivots the side panels to the stowed position, and such that pivoting a side panel from the stowed position to the deployed position thereby pivots the center panels to the deployed position.	03-04-2010

20100222691	Method and Means for Indication of Life Function - The present invention refers to a method and a device for indication of the percentage of carbon dioxide in a person's exhaled air, when breathing occurs through a means conducting the air flow. According to the invention, a means for determining the percentage of carbon dioxide is fixed or removably connected to the means conducting the air flow. The percentage of carbon dioxide is established with regard to a lower and/or an upper boundary during determined time intervals. In presented designs of the invention, the lower boundary is 2% and the upper boundary is 7% and the time interval is 2-10 seconds. The device contains, for example, a means to indicate if the upper boundary is exceeded or if the value falls below the lower boundary at any point during the entire time interval, which can be implemented through an alarm with an audio or light signal.	09-02-2010

20100015385	FILLING BODY - The present invention relates to a filling body, comprising a plurality of plastic foils, which are undulated, wherein a plastic foil has a plurality of connecting elements, by means of which a plastic foil can be connected to other plastic foils via a plurality of form-fitting connections. The filling body is configured such that two plastic foils are connected to a plastic foil pair, and plastic foil pairs are connected to other plastic foil pairs. According to the present invention, the connecting elements are positioned on the plastic foils such that upon joining two plastic foils to a plastic foil pair, the still unconnected connecting elements can be joined into connecting element pairs on the sides of the two plastic foils opposite of each other, wherein these connecting element pairs are distributed across the entire surface of the two foils. In subsequent joining processes of two plastic foil pairs to each other, the still unconnected connecting elements can be joined into connecting element pairs on the sides of the two plastic foil pairs opposite of each other, wherein these connecting element pairs are located exclusively in the vicinity of the edges of the two plastic foil pairs. This ensures that during the successive configuration of the filling body from the individual plastic foils substantially all connecting elements located on the plastic foils can be connected in pairs into form-fitting connections.	01-21-2010
