Abstract: A variable lens (100; 200; 220; 240; 250; 300; 350) comprises a chamber (125), with an optical axis (90) extending through the chamber (125). The chamber (125) contains a first fluid (130) and a second fluid (140) in contact over a meniscus (150) extending transverse the optical axis (90). The perimeter of the meniscus (150) is fixedly located on an internal surface (120) of the chamber (125). The fluids (130, 140)are substantially immiscible and have different indices of refraction. A pump (110) is arranged to controllably alter the shape of the meniscus (150) by altering the relative volume of each of the fluids (130, 140) contained within the chamber (125).

Abstract: A pneumatically or electromotively operable disc brake, including a brake caliper that straddles a brake disc, at least one brake application device for tensioning the brake disc by way of a displaceably guided element, particularly a cross member. The displaceably guided element has at least one threaded borehole into which an adjusting spindle is screwed. This adjusting spindle supports a pressing piece by which a brake pad can be pressed against the brake disc. A wear adjusting device is provided for resetting the clearance and is actively connected to the adjusting spindle. A securing element acts upon the adjusting spindle, thus preventing turning up to a specified torque. The securing element is provided in the form of a spring clip with at least one or more spring saddles, which are distributed over the periphery and which rest in a frictional contact against the adjusting spindle outside the internal thread of the displaceably guided element.

Abstract: A sound reduction system for reducing noise from a high power combustion engine is supplied by means of a method. The sound reduction system comprises a plurality of elements and attenuating devices placed in an elongated channel. During design of the sound reduction system one makes use of a particular suitable attenuating element with a first reactive part, a second reactive part and a third reactive part. Such a module, which is less sensitive to position in the channel, cost effective to manufacture and cost effective to model, is combined with single attenuating devices. The method enables a user to meet the requirements on sound reduction and keeping construction costs down, by using an iterative step-by-step approach. Such an approach is unknown according to traditional methods. An advantage of the method is that it enables an accurate acoustic model of the complete exhaust system, not only in the low frequency area and in the upper frequency area, but also in the intermediate frequency area. The method provides efficient modeling of an exhaust system and enables that a desired noise level close to the outlet of the exhaust system is met.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for minimizing disruption during a frequency search excursion to a target frequency. The method may be preformed as part of inter-frequency hard-handoff between cells on different RF CDMA channels. The method minimizes search times by tuning a selected mobile station (102) to a target frequency and collecting chip samples which are then stored in a buffer (207). Pilot searches and pilot strength measurements are not performed while on the target frequency. The selected mobile station (102) is tuned back to the original frequency and simultaneously resumes reception of forward link and transmission of reverse link communications. The chip samples collected on the target frequency are processed to calculate pilot strength. In another embodiment, the method minimizes disruption of service on the current frequency during the frequency search by increasing the amount of power allocated to other symbols contained in a data frame impacted by the search excursion. This power increase is a function of search excursion time.

Abstract: A content distribution method for distributing content over a peer-to-peer network such that the full potential throughput of the network is achieved. The content distribution method divides the content to be distributed into many small blocks. Each of the content blocks then is assigned to a node, which can be a content-requesting node, a non-content-requesting node or a source node. Content is assigned based on a capacity of the node, where nodes having a larger capacity are assigned a greater number of content blocks and nodes having a smaller capacity are assigned a fewer content blocks. The capacity generally is defined as the upload bandwidth of the node. Redistribution queues are employed to control the throughput of the distribution. This bandwidth control strategy ensures that upload bandwidths of the peer and source nodes are fully utilized even with network anomalies such as packet losses and delivery jitters.
