Abstract: Methods and systems provide approaches to start code emulation prevention at a granularity higher than the bit level. By operating at a level other than the bit level, processing capability requirements on both the encoder and decoder side can be reduced. In accordance with one or more embodiments, a start code emulation prevention method looks for data patterns relative to fixed-size data portions larger than single bits. When a particular pattern is found, start code emulation prevention data is inserted to prevent start code emulation. The inserted data is larger than a single bit and, in some embodiments, comprises a byte. When a decoder decodes data that has had start code emulation prevention data inserted, it can easily identify legitimate start codes and then can remove the start code emulation prevention data to provide the original data that was protected. In addition, a data stuffing method is described which allows payload data to be rounded up in size to an integer number of byte sizes, and then allows filler data to be added in a manner which is easily detectable by a decoder.

Abstract: An electrically driven vehicle brake comprises a brake piston, which acts on at least one friction lining and can be displaced out of an initial position into an actuation position, in which the brake piston abuts the friction lining against a rotating member of the vehicle brake which is to be connected, fixed against rotation, to a wheel of the motor vehicle, and a transmission unit, driven by an electric motor and acting on the brake piston to actuate the brake piston, wherein the electric motor is to be triggered by an electronic control unit, which is also set up to detect performance parameters of the vehicle, the electric motor and/or the vehicle brake. The electronic control unit is set up and programmed to trigger the electric motor by means of a control and evaluation program running in it in such a way that the brake piston is displaced in response to the detecting of at least one predetermined operating condition in a first direction into its actuation position, in which the at least one friction lining abuts against the rotating member, and the brake piston is then displaced by a path corresponding to a predetermined, desired brake release play in a second direction opposite the first direction, into its initial position. If the vehicle brake additionally comprises a device for fixing the initial position of the brake piston, which fixes the initial position of the brake piston in such a way that a predetermined, desired brake release play is kept constant during the operating life of the brake, the electronic control unit is set up and programmed to trigger the electric motor by means of a control and evaluation program running in it in such a way that an element of the transmission unit acting on the brake piston on electrical actuation of the brake is displaced in response to the detecting of at least one predetermined operating condition in a first direction into its actuation position, in which the brake piston actuated by the element abuts the at least one friction lining against the rotating member. The element is then displaced by a path corresponding to a sum made up of the predetermined, desired brake release play and a predetermined, desired distance between the element and the brake piston when the brake is not actuated in a second direction opposite the first direction into its initial position.

Abstract: Direct up-conversion of a signal is accomplished using a sampling pulse generator circuit and a gated differential amplifier, enabled by the sampling signal. When not enabled, the output of the differential amplifier is pulled to zero. The sampling pulse is generated from a base frequency sine wave which is squared with a limiting amplifier, and further passed through one or more frequency doublers producing a times two signal, a times four signal and so on. The squared base frequency and frequency doubled signals are logically ORed to produce a short duration pulse which repeats at the frequency of the base signal. The resulting output is an amplitude modulated pulse doublet time domain waveform.
