Inventor: BLANCHARD WESLEY
IPC: B60J1/08
Filed: 2006-09-06
Abstract: A transparency (83) of a panel of the invention is secured to an recess (72) in a vehicle by biasing the panel toward a hole in the recess defined by an end of a flange (70) , and fixedly mounting the panel to the flange in less than 10 minutes. In one embodiment, the transparency is secured to the recess from a position within the vehicle. In another embodiment, the panel is replaced by providing access to the hole and moving the mounting devices toward the hole to engage the flange to fixedly secure the panel over the hole. When a prior art broken transparency is replaced, the broken transparency and the structural adhesive is removed, and a panel of the invention is mounted over the hole. When an unbroken panel of the invention is to be replaced, the inner trim from the recess is removed, and the mounting devices released from the flange.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to perform persistence tests for a mobile station (110) in a network (140) are described. A counter for the random number generator configured to count access slots is initialized (401). One or more random numbers are successively generated (402, 403), until a value of a generated random number is lower than a first predetermined value (403). At the same time, the counter is successively incremented based on the number of generated random numbers. When the counter value is higher than or equal to a second predetermined value of successive iterations, the mobile station is deactivated (406) for a predetermined number of access slots equal to the counter value. Finally, if an access probe needs to be transmitted to the network, a random access number is generated (410) in preparation for transmission of the access probe to enable access to the network.

IPC: G01L3/10

Abstract: A test system for measuring a rotary load comprises a stepper motor drives a gear box that is mounted at one end of a frame. A torque sensor provides a measurement signal transmission. The gear box's output shaft is connected to one of the torque sensor's stubs by means of a universal joint coupling. On the other side of the torque sensor a second universal joint coupling connects the sensor to a stainless steel shaft. A low friction flange bearing is used to provide support for the shaft. An angle encoder is disposed on the end of the shaft distal to the gearbox. The gear box's output shaft, the torque sensor's cylindrical shaft hubs and associated couplings are arranged such that they are directly aligned with the shaft. The test system has been designed to take automated torque and angle readings from a shaft capable of rotary motion. The measurement arm configuration with the stepper motor directly connects the torque and angle sensors to a PC based data acquisition card for acquisition and processing of data. The system operates according to a method used to make a true torque measurement of a rotary actuated shaft or wheel in a process where a first data set is acquired with the system unloaded as the shaft or wheel is actuated through the defined travel path. The actuation force applied by the stepper motor is accurately controlled through a computer interface. Torque data is measured at each angular step as the wheel is actuated in a first direction. Torque data is then measured at each angular step as the wheel is actuated in the opposite direction. A load is then placed on the test system. With the load on the system, torque data is acquired/measured at each angular step through the defined travel path. Torque data is then measured at each angular step as the wheel is actuated in the opposite direction through the defined travel path. Ultimately, the true torque, i.e. torque less the effects of friction and the system baseline mechanical profile, is determined by adjusting measurement data to virtually eliminate these two effects.
