Abstract: A brushless permanent magnet electric machine with a fixed radial air gap is operated to a much higher speed than normal maximum speed by the reduction in effective magnet pole strength. Increasing the amount of axial misalignment of the permanent magnet rotor and constant velocity bearing proportionally increases the speed and reduces the torque. The permanent magnet rotor is offset axially to provide axial misalignment between the rotor magnet poles and the stator, reducing the effective magnet pole strength or flux to the stator. An integral constant velocity linear bearing is used to couple the movable rotor and the fixed position motor shaft. A thrust bearing is actuated to offset the magnetic rotor against the attractive magnetic forces toward the stator. The use of a constant velocity linear bearing allows the motor shaft, radial support bearings, position encoder, cooling fan, and output coupling to remain in a constant position while rotor position is offset.

Abstract: Apparatus and method of wireless communication that determines received signal timing deviation which is used to generate a timing advance for adjusting wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) transmissions. An adaptive threshold for measuring the timing deviation is set based on the energy level of received WTRU signals. WTRU signal samples which exceed the threshold are evaluated to determine timing deviation.

Abstract: A radar system having a tactical mode and a calibration mode includes a transmitter section for providing high-power amplification of an RF pulsed waveform from an exciter during the tactical mode and the calibration mode. A circulator system has an input port connected to an output of the transmitter section and including first, second and third switchable junctions, and a high-power attenuator. The circulator system provides a transmit tactical mode signal path and a transmit calibration mode signal path of virtually identical electrical path lengths for a transmitter output signal, the tactical path passing through the first, second and third junctions in a first direction to an antenna I/O port, the calibration path passing through the first, second and third junctions in a second direction and through the high-power attenuator to an output port. A receiver section is coupled to the output port and includes a receive tactical mode signal path through a low noise amplifier (LNA), mixer, and an intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier to an IF output port for down-converting a radar signal. The receiver section further includes a receive calibration mode signal path through an attenuator which bypasses the LNA and passes through the mixer and IF amplifier to the IF output port.

In one illustrative example, a plurality of e-mail messages are received by the mobile station (102,202) through a wireless network (104) and stored in memory (224,226). If a size of the e-mail messages reaches a predetermined limit of the memory, e-mail message bodies of some of the e-mail messages (e.g. relatively ¨old¨ e-mails) are automatically deleted from the memory while e-mail message headers of the e-mail messages are retained.

Subsequently, if a user selection of one of these e-mail messages in the list is identified, an e-mail message body of the e-mail message is requested by the mobile station (102,202) and received from a server (190) through the wireless network (104).
