Route costs are computed using the Dijkstra algorithm based on link information and connection information and a destination route is set based on a connection of links which has the least route cost. The route cost is set to sub-nodes of each connection link. Therefore, optimal routes can be set even though traffic regulations such as no right turns or the like exist on certain nodes.

The case has a lid which can be opened and a dividing wall (26) separating a printer (29) compartment from a further compartment, e.g. for a portable computer. The dividing wall can slide in vertical guides (40) and has at least one part which can be pivoted to the horizontal printer (29) operating position after being pulled upwards. The dividing wall is made in one piece and forms the printer ca...

An ultra low density polyolefin foam having a density of about 0.6 to about 1.5 pounds per cubic foot comprising a heat-plastified mixture comprising (1) a non-elastomeric olefin polymer resin selected from the group consisting of ethylene homopolymers, non-elastomeric copolymers of ethylene and a copolymerizable monomer, and propylene homopolymers; (2) an elastomer in an amount of about 3 to abou...

High quality diamond can be produced at high speed and at a low cost by a hot-filament assisted CVD method. This process comprises using a heating body consisting of a metal or metal carbide as an excitation source, wherein the heating body has a larger specific surface area (surface area/volume) than a filament with a circular cross-section for the same cross-sectional area. For example, the heat...
