Abstract: A lightweight, easy to assemble, and compact exciter assembly for a compaction device such as a drum assembly of a vibratory trench roller or the like includes a fixed weight and one or more free swinging weights mounted on an exciter shaft, without using any mounting hardware, so as to hold the free swinging weights axially in position while permitting them to swing between first and second angular positions on the exciter shaft. Preferably, the fixed weight is mounted on a central portion of the exciter shaft, and two free swinging weights are mounted adjacent the ends of the fixed weight so as to be restrained from substantial sliding movement along the exciter shaft solely by the fixed weight and other operative components of the exciter assembly such as bearings and/or gears or other torque transfer elements. The reduction in length afforded by this design permits a reversible hydraulic motor to be mounted coaxially on the end of the exciter shaft without unacceptably increasing the overall length of a drum assembly, thereby further simplifying the machine's assembly and facilitating maintenance or repair of the machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) analysis system and method is provided which determines luminal and medial-adventitial boundaries of a blood vessel. Ultrasonic data is acquired by a rotating transducer mounted to a tip of a catheter which is inserted into the blood vessel. An intravascular image is reconstructed from the ultrasound data. To determine the luminal boundary of a vessel, a user selects boundary points on the image believed to be locations of the luminal boundary. A boundary contour is generated based on the boundary points. The boundary contour is then optimized by adjusting the boundary points based on a radially determined edge of the luminal boundary performed on the image in polar format. Once the final luminal boundary contour is generated, the process is repeated to determine the medial-adventitial boundary contour. With the contour data, properties of the blood vessel are analyzed including determining the area of the lumen and percent of occlusion caused by plaque.

Abstract: In order to achieve a high degree of protection, especially a degree of protection IP67 with the simplest possible sealing system in contacting device, a sealing ridge is provided on housing top, which cooperates with a gasket. For reliable sealing, this is preferably arranged continuously around a contact region and is forced into the preferably plate-like gasket in the installed state. During contacting of the conductors of ribbon cable, a contacting element, for example, of contact screw penetrates the gasket and in so doing displaces sealing material, which additionally contributes to sealing. The contacting device is preferably designed as an adapter for a field bus system or as a so-called "heavy rectangular plug-in connector".

Abstract: In a surface-mounted optical transmission module, a laser diode serving as a light emitting device that converts an electric signal into an optical signal, and an optical waveguide serving as an optical transmission line that transmits and outputs the optical signal from the laser diode are placed on a substrate. A driving device for controlling the driving of the laser diode is placed at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the optical waveguide element, which is on the same side as an optical waveguide element (on the downstream side in the optical-signal transmitting direction) relative to the laser diode. This configuration eliminates the necessity of placing the driving device at a position distanced from the laser diode, whereby the size of the optical transmission module can be reduced, and this allows the optical transmission module to transmit optical signals at high speed.

Abstract: An error rate of a TFCI of a transmission data format, and when an error rate of the TFCI becomes worse, a request to increase only the power of the TFCI is issued to the transmitter. The error rate of the TFCI is computed from the error detection result of a TrCH. Especially when the data length of the TrCH is relatively short, this method is not applied, but wasteful power consumption increases. When the data length of the TrCH is long, this method is applied to realize error rate control with the wasteful power consumption minimized. <IMAGE>

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the amount of engine output compensation when a variable speed power required for a rotational speed change during variable speed is covered by an engine output, match a the rotational movement energy change to a gear ratio change.  <P>SOLUTION: A target engine torque correcting means 106 acquires an engine torque command value T<SP>*</SP><SB>E</SB>by correcting a target engine torque T<SP>*</SP><SB>E0</SB>so that the gearshifting power required for rotational speed change is covered with an engine output during variable speed in which the rotational speed of a rotating system from an engine to the output of a wheel drive system is changed. In a hybrid transmission in which the power from a plurality of power sources is outputted to a drive shaft using a differential gear composed of a planetary gear drive, the rotational kinetic energy becomes a minimum value at a kinetic energy minimum gear ratio, and increases as departs from the kinetic energy minimum gear ratio before and after that. So, even if a variable speed direction is constant, the direction of rotational movement energy change changes from the border of the kinetic energy minimum gear ratio. So, the sign of an engine output correction amount when the power required for varible speed is compensated with the engine is reversed on the border of kinetic energy minimum gear ratio.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Alternatively, the terminal then estimates transmission power required for transmission of a data with a rate of data in accordance with the rate of data and the modified quality metric. The quality metric margin may be pre-determined or dynamically adjusted. The terminal dynamically adjusts the quality metric margin in accordance with a result of comparison of a transmit power corresponding to the estimated maximum rate of data with an actual transmit power used to transmit the data.
