Abstract: A wheel brake mechanism has a pair of friction pads to
produce a braking force based on a brake manipulated
variable(S). A thrust sensor detects the pressure of one
brake friction pad of the pair against a disk rotor. A
control unit causes a temporary movement of the brake
friction pad pair into contact with the disk rotor when a
predetermined time period has expired from a time when a
brake pedal has been recovered to an inoperative state. In
the system, a position of the brake friction pad pair at
which the pressure becomes greater than a predetermined
threshold value during the temporary movement of the brake
friction pad pair into contact with the disk rotor, is
detected or determined as a braking initiation position
(Ps).

first carrier signal includes an image signal of said second carrier
signal. Further, the known direct conversion receiver comprises at least

first and the second carrier signal from the down-converted
multi-carrier signal after digitization. In order to make such receivers
less complex and adjust them for fast time varying scenarios it is

(100 I ...100 IV ) for calculating a compensating
coefficient representing the quota and/or the phase position of the
image signal of the second carrier signal being included in the first
carrier signal and to remove the undesired image signal in response to
said compensating coefficient.
