Abstract: In the preferred embodiment, the transmission of a packet with one of full-header or compressed header is determined according to the report of a lower layer, and preferably, regardless of any request from the receiver. Preferably, the determination is done in PDCP layer, and the lower layer is RLC layer. In one embodiment, the attachment of a full-header to a packet is triggered by the RLC report of transmission failure of prior packet. In another embodiment, one of the trigger of attachment of a full-header to a packet is excluded by the RLC report of transmission success of prior full-header packet. The transmission of full-header packets is preferably controlled based on feedback information of a lower layer indicating whether a previously transmitted full-header packet was successfully received by the receiver. The feedback information may be delivered from a data link layer such as an RLC layer to a header compression layer, which is preferably included in a PDCP layer.

Abstract: An advance arrangement for use in controlling timing of fuel delivery by a
fuel pump comprises an advance piston (12) which is moveable within a first
bore (14) and which cooperates, in use, with a cam arrangement of a fuel
pump to adjust the timing of fuel delivery by the pump, a surface associated
with the advance piston (12) being exposed to fuel pressure within an
advance piston control chamber (37). The advance arrangement also includes
a servo-piston (24) which is slidable within a further bore (22) provided in
the advance piston (12) to control the pressure of fuel within the advance
piston control chamber (38), a surface associated with the servo-piston (24)
being exposed to fuel pressure within a servo control chamber (37). Means
are provided for preventing fuel pressure variations in the advance piston
control chamber (38) due to fuel leakage causing the advance piston (12) to
drift whilst the servo-piston (24) remains in a substantially fixed position.
The advance arrangement may also include a damping arrangement (39, 41,
47) for damping movement of the servo-piston (24) in a direction to retard
timing which occurs as a result of movement of the advance piston (12) in a
direction to advance timing at the end of a pumping event.

Abstract: The qualitative and/or quantitative gas analyzer uses a gas sensor with a predetermined heating cycle. The device has at least one chamber, containing a socket mounted sensor element which is receptive to a specific gas component and an apertured cover. The cover is rotatable relative to the sensor chamber, or vice versa, so that the aperture can be aligned with the chamber in order to expose the sensor to the test atmosphere for a predetermined interval. An independent claim is also included for the use of the analyzer in which conductivity-time profiles are measured for a particular component and compared with calibration profiles for various concentrations and conditions. The preferred detector devices are semi-conductors which may be used in conjunction with gas permeable filter membranes to provide gas specificity. The cover may be rotated by a stepping motor drive.

Abstract: In the digital signal processing apparatus, the first digital filter reproduces that part of an impulse response which responds fast, and the decimation filter converts the output of the delay device of the first digital filter to a digital signal having a sampling rate of, for example, 1/2. The digital signal is supplied to the second digital filter. The second digital filter reproduces that part of the impulse response, which responds slowly and outputs data representing the response characteristic of this part of the impulse response.
