Abstract: A telescopically collapsible vehicular steering column assembly (16) includes inner (24) and outer (22) shaft tubes which are joined in a sliding fit by a bushing (30). The bushing (30) includes a pair of spaced journal bearings (32) formed of steel-backed PTFE held in a plastic carrier body (38). The bushing (30) is located in a receiving chamber (26) in the outer shaft tube (22). A clearance compensator (36) reacts against the receiving chamber (26) to exert a radial compressive force through the carrier body (38) and the journal bearings (32) to improve the sliding fit with the inner shaft tube (24) and remove lash. The clearance compensator (36) can take any form, such as a hollow annular rib (50), a skirt with a flexible free end (158), or an array of nubs (260) carried in thinned sections (262) of the carrier body (238). The clearance compensator (36) in all of these variations operates within a clearance space and has dimensional attributes which can be changed during the design and manufacturing phases of the bushing (30) to optimize a characteristic of the steering column assembly (16). The optimized characteristic may be the sliding friction between the inner (24) and outer (22) shaft tubes, or the stiffness of the assembled column which affects its vibrational frequency, or other value

Abstract: A network connection establishment protocol is made more secure by directly associating a non-discoverable mode with a non-pairable mode in a combined non-discoverable/non-pairable mode. Advantageously, rather that allowing incoming pairing requests even when a device is non-discoverable, the device in the closed mode rejects all pairing requests. Responsive to specific initiation, the device may enter a combined discoverable/pairable mode. The device may be preconfigured to revert from the combined discoverable/pairable mode to the combined non-discoverable/non-pairable mode after a given duration of time or after a predetermined number of pairings.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for replacing a rail for track vehicles, which is laid in a fixed running track by means of ties. According to said method, at least the old ties (11a) of the old rail (10a), which is substantially composed of running rails (14) and the old ties, are replaced with new ties (11b). Some of the old ties (11a') are first removed from the recesses thereof in the fixed substructure (13) of the running track and are replaced by lifting/directing ties (15) which are inserted into the recesses while the other old ties (11a'') initially remain in the recesses (12'') thereof and support the running rails. The remaining old ties (11a'') are replaced with new ties (11b'') once the rail has been placed in the desired vertical and lateral position with the aid of the lifting/directing ties. The lifting/directing ties are then replaced with new ties (11b') once the previously installed new ties (11b'') have been blocked in the recesses (12'') thereof in the position obtained following the vertical and lateral adjustment.

Abstract: Large payload files are selectively partitioned in blocks and the blocks distributed to a plurality of distribution stations at the edge of the network qualified to have the data. Each qualified station decides how much and what portion of the content to save locally, based on information such as network location and environment, usage, popularity, and other distribution criteria defined by the content provider. Different pieces of a large payload file may be available from different nodes, however, when a user requests access to the large payload file, for example, through an application server, a virtual file control system creates an illusion that the entire file is present at the connected node. However, since only selective portions of the large payload file may actually be resident at that node's storage at the time of request, a cluster of distribution servers at the distribution station may download the non-resident portions of the file as the application server is servicing the user. The download may be in parallel and usually from the least congested nodes. New nodes added to the network learn from other nodes in the network what content they should have and download the required content, in a desired amount, onto their local storage devices from the nearest and least congested nodes without interrupting network operation. Each node manages its local storage and decides what content to prune based on information such as usage patterns.

Abstract: An elastic shaft coupling has a drive-side interface and an output-side mechanical interface. Both interfaces are intended in each case for connecting the shaft coupling to an adjacent machine element. The shaft coupling has at least two elastic rubber elements which are connected behind one another between the drive-side and the output-side interfaces and the axial material thickness of which increases in each case at a growing radial spacing from the center axis of the shaft coupling. To reduce the amount of rubber of the shaft coupling with retention of its elastic properties, the respective rubber elements are of non-uniform configuration with regard to their torsional rigidity and to be precise are so non-uniform that the torsional rigidity of one of the two rubber elements is always at least one and a half times as great as the torsional rigidity of the other rubber element.
