Title: Wear compensating device for a brake device, and brake device
Inventor: TREUDE HANS-WALTER
IPC: F16D65/18
Filed: 2007-05-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to a wear compensating device for a shoe brake having a brake lever (2, 4), which brake lever (2, 4) supports a brake lining (12) which acts on a brake body (14), and which brake lever (2, 4) is adjustable by means of an actuating arrangement (16) about a main axis (7) between a braking position and a ventilating position. Here, the wear compensating device has a first adjusting device (100) which is arranged on the brake lever (2, 4) and which acts on a stop (18) in such a way that the latter, as an actuating travel delimitation, acts on the first adjusting device (100) and therefore at the same time on the brake lever (2, 4) and defines a corresponding ventilating position. The first adjusting device (100) has an adjusting element (102) which engages on the stop (18) and on which acts an adjusting force (126) which, during braking and ventilation of the brake (18), holds the adjusting element (102) in engagement with the stop (18) and varies the ventilating position of the brake lever (2, 4) corresponding to the wear of the brake lining (12) and/or of the brake body (14) in such a way that a ventilation gap (L) which is set between the brake lining (12) and brake body (14) remains constant. The invention also relates to a brake device having two brake levers (2, 4) which has a wear compensating device of said type.

IPC: H04B1/18
Filed: 2007-10-16
Abstract: A system and method for assigning received channels to preset tuning keys of a receiver. A series of preset keys are sequentially labeled and one preset key, such as the preset key marked "0," is a pre-defined preset key. An elongated pressing of the pre-defined key causes the currently tuned channel, if it is not assigned to a preset key, to be assigned to an unassigned preset key. If the currently tuned channel is already assigned to a preset key, pressing the predefined key instead causes the currently selected channel to be un-assigned from that preset key. Radios with two tuners that each process different sets of radio signals assign channels for a particular tuner to alternating preset keys, allowing acceleration of sequentially selecting channels assigned to pre-set keys by pre-tuning another tuner to the next channel in the sequence.

Patent CA-2672010-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOPEZ RAFAEL MARIN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2007-12-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to reducing the time required to provide an IP address to a mobile node by pro-actively obtaining IP addresses, through the use of PANA-assisted pro-active IP address acquisition, IKEv2-assisted proactive IP address acquisition, or by pro-active IP address acquisition using DHCP only. Where a DHCP is used to pre-configure an IP address in an MPA framework, a PAA generates a plurality of Session-Ids, the plurality of Session-Ids is maintained as a pool of Session-Ids, a Session-Id is retrieved from the pool when the PAA sends a PANA-Auth-Request, and providing a pre-generated IP address to an MN reduces pre-authentication time. Where a IKEv2-assisted pro-active IP address acquisition to pre-fetch IP addresses, is used to reduce the time required to provide an IP address to a MN an IP address is obtained from a CTN as part of a standard IKEv2 procedure. A co-located DHCP relay agent is placed on the access router, or a DHCP client for obtaining the IP address from a DHCP server in a target network using standard DHCP, a PAA pre-generates a pool of Session-Ids, the pool of Session-Ids is forwarded directly to a Ipsec-GW. Where the time required to provide an IP address to a MN is reduced using only DHCP, direct DHCP communication between the mobile node and the DHCP relay or DHCP server in the CTN is enabled and the mobile node sends a unicast DHCP message to the DHCP relay agent or to the DHCP server in the CTN, requesting an address, while using the address associated with the current physical interface as the source address of the request. In this system a set of PANA Sessions-Ids have been pre-generated.

Title: Methods and apparatuses for transmitting non-decodable packets
Inventor: TEAGUE EDWARD HARRISON
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2008-08-13
Abstract: Acknowledgments (ACKs/ NACKs) are suppressed when transmitting non-decodable packets in a communication system that utilizes HARQ. Non-decodable packets are transmitted to save system bandwidth and make the overall spectral efficiency higher. The transmitter and receiver know that in HARQ when the transmitter transmits a non-decodable packet to the receiver, this will cause the receiver to automatically transmit back a NACK. The transmitter and receiver exploit this fact by discarding and/or not transmitting the NACK (respectively).
