Abstract: Pump has pump element having a piston driven in a lifting motion which demarcates pump's working space into which fuel is sucked via an inlet valve and forced out of an outlet valve (32) into a high pressure area. Inlet and/or outlet valves have a roughly conical valve member (40) which works with the sealing surface of valve seat (43b). Valve member when open releases a first through-flow cross-section (50) and forms a second such cross-section (52) in direction of flow after first. In flow direction between first and second cross-sections a third (54) through-flow cross-section forms which is larger than the other two.

Abstract: A simplified timing correction method is provided for data despreading of serial offset quadrature pulse-shaped spread signals. The simplified timing correction algorithm is applied to a rake receiver for improved performance in a multi-path channel. Serial formatting of the spreading modulation waveform is selected to reduce the SYNC/serial probe correlation complexity. The method includes the steps of: (a) decimating serial inphase (I) and quadrature (Q) signals to form decimated I and Q even samples and decimated I and Q odd samples; (b) obtaining an autocorrelation profile of a spreading sequence used by the receiver; (c) detecting a synchronization starting point using the I and Q even samples; and (d) deciding to either move, or not move, the synchronization starting point, based on the autocorrelation profile obtained in step (b). Step (d) decides to move the synchronization starting point, and uses the I and Q odd samples for subsequent despreading of the I and Q signals. Step (d) also decides not to move the synchronization starting point, and uses the I and Q even samples for subsequent despreading of the I and Q signals.

Abstract: [PROBLEMS] Provided are a cushion body achieving both a soft tactile sensation to the user and durability, a seat, and a method of producing them. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The cushion body (11) is formed by layering over each other a first sheet-like fiber structure (4a) and a second sheet-like fiber structure (4b), where the sheet-like fiber structures are each formed by layering webs (2) such that their extension direction is along the direction of the thickness (T) of the cushion body (11). Between the first sheet-like fiber structure (4a) and the second sheet-like fiber structure (4b) is provided a load receiving member (4e) having a small degree of sag for a load in the thickness direction (T). Because of the presence of the first sheet-like fiber structure (4a) at a seating surface (10a), the cushion body (11) greatly sags under a load by the seated person to provide a soft tactile sensation to the person. On the other hand, the load receiving section (4e) sags less and has a certain degree of hardness, so that it supports and disperses the load working in the thickness direction (T) and received by the first sheet-like fiber structure (4a). As a result, the cushion body (11) is less likely to have permanent set under load and achieves sufficient durability.
