A capability for prominence-based feature generation and rendering for digital maps is provided. More specifically, embodiments relate to rendering map features such as buildings or landmarks in different rendering styles based on signals for how important a particular feature is to a search context. A search context may be, for example and without limitation, a general view of the map or a user-initiated search request for a particular point of interest or driving directions between different points of interest on the map. For example, the different rendering styles may include, but are not limited to, two-dimensional (2D) footprints, two-and-a-half-dimensional (2.5D) extruded polygons, as will be described further below, and full three-dimensional (3D) models. Furthermore, the style could include color and / or visual texture.

The present invention provides methods of forming multi-layered patterned coating films comprising the steps of (1) applying a first colored base coating composition to a substrate, (2) applying a second colored base coating composition over the uncured coating film of the first colored base coating composition in such a manner that the first colored base coating film is partially exposed, the second colored base coating composition being able to form a coating film of different color and / or visual texture from that of the first colored base coating composition, and having, 30 seconds after application, 30 to 60 mass % of the solids content of the base coating composition, and (3) applying a top clear coating composition over the cured or uncured first and second colored base coating compositions, and curing the uncured composition(s).

A calendering roller used to manufacture textured nonwoven fabric comprising papermaking fibers (46), the calendering roller (40) comprising a positive pattern (10) that comprises: - a basic element (11) having a ring shape, the ring (12) defining an apex relatively to a center portion of the ring (12) defining a cavity (14) and a grinded surrounding zone (15), the ring (12) comprising at least one radial channel (16) putting in communication the cavity (14) and the grinded surrounding zone (15) so as to define a discontinuous calendering surface (13); and - a repetition of said basic element along multiple rows (20) and columns (21) substantially overall a peripheral surface of the calendering roller (40), the repetition being regular except for multiple substantially longitudinally (22) and transversally (23) oriented regions, said regions (22, 23) being of limited size with respect to a calendering roller size and randomly distributed so as to define multiple random longitudinal and transverse lines (62, 63) in the textured nonwoven fabric comprising papermaking fibers (46), generating a cloth-like visual texture.

The present invention provides a set of square carpet tiles having an omnidirectional pattern, the set comprising at least two tiles of a coordinating pattern and color, each tile having at least two areas of visual texture applied thereto (31, 32, 33, 34), the visual texture area provides imprints of at least two fluff directions on each panel. Both patterns and textures can be achieved by printing. The invention also discloses a method of providing omnidirectional pattern blocks.

The invention provides a door handle structure of a vehicle, when a handle returns to a storage position, the return speed of the handle is reduced, the load input to a switch in the vehicle of the handle is reduced, the erroneous operation of a driving device is prevented, and the visual texture of an operation state is improved. The hinge device is provided with: a hinge arm (30) having a handle (20) that can be projected from or hidden in a door panel (11) and having a support shaft (31) that rotates the handle in order to project the handle from the door panel; a drive device (40) for transmitting power to the hinge arm in order to project the handle from the door panel; wherein the driving device is provided with a motor (42) and an output shaft (45) which is connected with the hinge arm (30) and transmits the output of the motor to the hinge arm in an area from the storage position to the open position, when the handle (20) moves from the storage position to the holding position, power is transmitted from the motor to the hinge arm through the output shaft, and when the handle (20) moves from the open position to the holding position, power is transmitted from the motor to the hinge arm through the output shaft. Power is transmitted from the hinge arm to the motor through the output shaft.

The invention relates to a method for storing data into a code image. The code image consists of a plurality of unit code images, each unit code image consists of n*n data unit arrays, a positioning point is stored in each data unit on the 'L'-shaped corner of each unit code image, and two data points are respectively stored in other data units; and the distance between the two data points in each data unit is shorter than the distance between two random points between the data units, the gravity centers of the positioning points and the data points are at the central positions of the data units, and the data are stored through the position relation between the two data points. The invention also relates to a method and a system for reading the data in the code image. Codes are uniformly spread in the whole code image, so that an obvious visual texture effect is not produced. Moreover, few positioning points are required, so the storage capacity of the data is increased. The data units are easily positioned, and four layout modes of the two points in each data unit are easily distinguished, so the accuracy and the efficiency of integral recognition are high.

The invention discloses a 3D vision texture and a processing method thereof on a glass surface. The 3D vision texture comprises a plurality of three-stage units, wherein each three-stage unit consists of 3 two-stage units in an end-to-end adjacent circling manner; each two-stage unit is divided into a plurality of one-stage units which are arranged in parallel; a gap is formed between two adjacent one-stage units. As conventional color blocks are replaced by a plurality of one-stage units and are refined, light can be reflected by the one-stage units, and a 3D vision effect with false or true alternative variation can be achieved in different angles, so that a three-dimensional effect can be achieved on a two-dimensional glass surface, and the competitiveness of the product appearance can be greatly improved.
