The invention discloses a navigation method and device. The method comprises the steps that according to a starting place and a destination, a guiding path from the starting place and the destination is planned; a current to-be-guided intersection in the guiding path, a pull-in road into the current to-be-guided intersection in the guiding path and a pull-out road out of the current to-be-guided intersection in the guiding path are determined; according to road attributes of the pull-in road of the current to-be-guided intersection and road attributes of the pull-out road, expansion navigation prompting information of the current to-be-guided intersection is generated, wherein the expansion navigation prompting information at least includes one of heading prompting information, lane changing prompting information and following steering prompting information; the expansion navigation prompting information is added into navigation prompting information to be output to a user. The expansion navigation prompting information such as the heading prompting information, the lane changing prompting information and the following steering prompting information can be provided for a user, so that driving of the user is better assisted, and the user experience is improved.

Toilet bowl treating / cleaning assemblies are provided. In one form the toilet seat lid has mounted on it a dispenser in a fashion so that pivoting of the lid assists in controlling dispensing of a solid pill containing a treating chemical. Also, structures are provided to avoid dispensing when a consumer determines that bowl treatment is not needed, and to facilitate dispensing in response to manual activation.

An interface for a pressurized fluidized bed combustion facility is disclosed that enables future addition of carbon dioxide capture technology to capture facility flue gas emissions. The interface includes a gas to water pressurized heat recovery steam generator to cool facility flue gas and provide steam to the facility steam turbine generator. A VFD motor and flue gas expander are coupled to a combustion air compressor to energize the facility. The expander is synchronized over a SSS-clutch to drive the compressor. The interface in combination with carbon capture technology and methods for conditioning flue gas are also disclosed.

A weight sensing mechanism for an aircraft seat pan configured to adjust seat pan recline force and including a gas spring arranged between a fixed seat frame member and a movable seat pan member, the gas spring arranged to compress as the seat pan reclines in response to a load on the seat pan, and unloads upon removal of the load on the seat pan to assist in returning the seat pan to upright, and a helper spring positioned forward of and coaxially with the gas spring arranged to deflect under any load on the seat pan. A recline-capable seat pan assembly including a passenger body weight sensing mechanism.

A method and device for assisting in driving a vehicle in motion along an initial trajectory, in an environment containing at least one obstacle, assistance is carried out by checking, by a trajectory checking unit, during movement of the vehicle, the existence of at least one condition for modifying the initial trajectory to avoid the obstacle. A criteria determining unit is used to determine a criterion CR by which to avoid the obstacle, and an avoidance trajectory determining unit is used to determine an avoidance trajectory according to a derivative of the criterion CR. The vehicle is assisted along the determined avoidance trajectory by a driving assist device.

An apparatus for assisting driving of a host vehicle provides stable control of the host vehicle by using road conditions including intersections, crosswalks and the like, forward lane markings, and a preceding vehicle. The apparatus includes an image sensor to capture images of an area in front of the host vehicle, and a controller configured to recognize a road section having no lane markings on a drive path, or recognize forward lane markings. The controller performs lateral control of the host vehicle selectively based on the forward lane markings and the recognized preceding vehicle according to whether the road section having no lane markings is recognized.
