| 20100022053 | Method for Packaging Components - The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of packaged components. The invention is based here on the problem of facilitating the application of covers with lateral dimensions that are smaller than the lateral dimensions of the functional substrate. For this purpose, a plate-like cover substrate is mounted on a carrier substrate. Then, on the uncovered side of the plate-like cover substrate, trenches are inserted, so that a composite part is obtained with the carrier substrate and individual covering parts that are separated from each other by the trenches, but interconnected by the carrier substrate. The covering parts of the composite part are connected with a functional substrate with a plurality of components. Then, the connection of the covering parts is dissolved with the carrier substrate, and the carrier substrate is removed, so that a composite is obtained with the functional substrate and a plurality of covering parts that cover functional areas. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20120277993 | INCREMENTAL MAP GENERATION, REFINEMENT AND EXTENSION WITH GPS TRACES - A method for improving and extending an existing road network and generating new networks from statistically relevant amounts of probe data recorded by GPS-enabled navigation devices. New probe data is matched to the existing digital vector map, then the data merged into the existing network using a weighted mean technique. When new roads are detected, appropriate junction points are made with the existing network elements. The updated network data is simplified to improve computing speed and reduce data storage requirements. | 11-01-2012 |

| 20130021382 | TIME AND/OR ACCURACY DEPENDENT WEIGHTS FOR NETWORK GENERATION IN A DIGITAL MAP - A method for improving and extending an existing digital road network and generating new networks from statistically relevant amounts of probe data recorded by GPS-enabled navigation devices. New probe data is matched to the existing digital map, then the data merged into the existing network using a time-dependent weight and/or accuracy-dependent weight. A recalculation date is established, and the weight value of a line segment and/or trace is adjusted as a function of the time span relative to the recalculation. The function may include setting a maximal time period divided into bins each having a respective weight reduction factor, or applying decay function. Through this technique, digital maps can be updated and extended without undue influence exerted by old trace data. | 01-24-2013 |
| 20140044317 | INCREMENTAL NETWORK GENERATION PROVIDING SEAMLESS NETWORK OF LARGE GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS - A system and method for generating a seamless road network of a large geographical area includes a plurality of GPS traces extending across a geographical area. A plurality of threads simultaneously employ entire traces to collectively generate the seamless road network. The method includes dividing the geographical area into tiles, with each trace extending across several tiles. Each thread can employ one of the traces while another thread employs another trace. Each thread employs an entire one of the traces extending across several tiles during a single step. A job scheduler and blocking table prevent threads from simultaneously processing traces having common tiles and disturbing one another. The threads employ an incremental map matching method, wherein the probe traces are compared to existing line segments of the digital map, and new line segments are created using the probe traces not matching the existing line segments. | 02-13-2014 |
| 20140132608 | GRAPH BASED TOPOLOGICAL MAP MATCHING - An improved method for matching traces derived from probe data to one or more line segments in a digital vector map. Points in a probe trace are provisionally matched one-by-one to line segments in the digital vector map to identify all possible matching candidates. A graph of the matching candidates is created having one or more paths. The graph has a plurality of sequential levels corresponding to the points in the probe trace. Each matching candidate is assigned to a level of the graph corresponding with trace point to which it relates. Edges are established between matching candidates in adjacent levels provided they are topologically related to one another. The graph is simplified and scored. The best paths deliver the matching results. The invention allows use of graph theoretic methods to find the best path through the graph, which in turn represents an efficient map matching algorithm. The concepts of this invention may be used in conjunction with longitudinal distance as matching criterion. | 05-15-2014 |
| 20140163875 | SEAMLESS NETWORK GENERATION - A system and method for generating a seamless road network of a large geographical area includes a plurality of GPS probe traces extending across a geographical area. The probe traces are divided into sub-sets base on criteria, such as accuracy. A plurality of threads simultaneously employ the sub-sets traces to generate an independent network of the entire geographical area. The networks generated using sub-sets having a high accuracy are preferred over networks generating using sub-sets having a lower accuracy. The independent networks are combined to form a seamless networks of road segments. | 06-12-2014 |
