Abstract: Disclosed is an open-loop power control method for base station in a broadband
GSM system. The method employs an open-loop control method and implements the
power control for each carrier after synthesizing multi-way digital intermediate
frequencies. In this method, the dynamic power level control and the slope power
control are implemented individually by utilizing an inherent characteristic that the
up-down slope control (including the static power control) of the respective carrier
frequencies is performed synchronously. The open-loop power control method for
multi-carrier according to the invention allows the power control for the respective
carriers to be independent of each other completely, and the transmitting power of any
carrier at any time slot can be varied flexibly and easily.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure sensor that comprises a pressure sensor element (180) that is provided with a pressure sensor membrane (181). The pressure sensor element is held in a receiving part (185, 186) in a defined position during operation within a permissible operating pressure range by a spring element (192). When the permissible working pressure range is exceeded, a relative movement, acting against the spring force, between the pressure sensor element (180) and the receiving part (185, 186) takes place, thereby increasing the volume of the space immediately upstream of the pressure sensor membrane (181). The inventive design allows for a limitation of the pressure and for an effective protection of the pressure sensor membrane (181) when the liquid is frozen.

Abstract: There is provided a damping device for making large a
damping force per unit length in an axial direction thereof.
The damping device 20 is provided with a motion conversion
section 21 for converting a relative linear motion between the
two object portions to a rotational motion of a rotation member
30 and a damping section 22 operatively connected to the motion
conversion section and adapted to resist the rotational motion
of the rotation member. The damping section 22 is formed with
the rotation member 30, an inner peripheral side sealing layer
34 disposed on an inner peripheral side of the rotation member
30 and an outer peripheral side sealing layer 33 disposed on
an outer peripheral side of the rotation member. The inner and
outer peripheral side sealing structure are sealed with viscous
medium. Since the inner peripheral side sealing layer 34 and
the outer peripheral side sealing layer 33 resist against the
rotational motion of the rotation member 30, the damping force
per unit length of the rotation member in its axial direction
can be made large.
