Abstract: A mobile communication network includes an antenna site shared by two or
more telecommunications service providers. The antenna site includes a shared
resource, such as an antenna, telecommunications equipment, or bandwidth, used by
multiple service providers and connects to multiple signal processing centers, each of
which belongs to one of the service providers. The signal processing centers may
provide modulating signals to the antenna site to use in modulating a carrier. The
antenna site may also direct received signals from mobile terminals to the signal
processing center for the appropriate service provider. A billing module at the antenna
site maintains an accounting of resources used by each service provider.

Abstract: A brake pad (20) comprises a first pad layer (30) made of a first friction material and a
second pad layer (28) made of a second friction material different from the first friction
material and operatively mounted to the first pad layer. The first pad layer has a higher
level of friction initially and the second pad layer has a higher level of friction after
wearing and the first pad layer is less wear resistant than the second pad layer. As the first
pad layer wears away, the second pad layer commences to wear or "break-in." Because the
wearing is uneven at the interface (32), portions of the first pad layer continue to offer an
immediate and higher level of friction as portions of the second pad layer "break-in"
gradually to offer the high level of friction. Eventually, the first pad layer wears away,
leaving the second pad layer already "broken-in" for a long-lasting life.

Abstract: An ATM network traffic shaper is implemented in hardware. The traffic shaper shapes transmit data on one or more virtual circuits (VCs) according to the specified quality of service (QoS) parameters. Thus, the traffic shaper provides for the delivery of associated data cells in accordance with the specified QoS parameters. The traffic shaper is scalable in that the number of supported VCs can be increased with a relatively small increase in the size of the device and associated logic gates. The traffic shaper supports constant bit rate (CBR), variable bit rate (VBR), and unknown bit rate (UBR) service types and generates cell transmit requests with zero cell delay variation (CDVT). The traffic shaper also provides very high resolution in terms of bit rate specification. Varying shaping resolutions are achieved by varying a shaping interval time (SIT) generated by a SIT counter.

Abstract: A shift control device includes a controller (10) and a differential mechanism (2)
including four rotating elements. Each of the elements is connected to an
engine, two motor/generators and an output. 
     The controller (10) is programmed to calculate a target driving power (Po * ); make a
judgment as to whether the target driving power (Po * ) is less than or equal to a driving
power (Po γ) wherein the engine is driven under optimum fuel efficiency; when the
judgment shows that the target driving power (Po * ) is larger than the driving power,
calculate an engine's speed (Ne γ) and torque (Te γ) wherein the target driving power (Po * ) is
realized such that the engine is driven for maximum load; and control the engine
under the engine's speed (Ne γ) and torque (Te γ). 
     Consequently, if the target driving power (Po * ) is above what the engine alone
can provide under optimum fuel efficiency, it is possible to provide the target
power (Po * ) without consuming an electric power of a battery.

Abstract: A downstream adaptive modulation system and method. The downstream adaptive modulation system comprises a wireless access termination system and one or more wireless modems. The wireless access termination system includes a plurality of queues and a parser. The parser parses data traffic onto the plurality of queues. Each queue is associated with a different coding and modulation scheme. Each of the one or more wireless modems receives data traffic from the plurality of queues based on the wireless modem's ability to demodulate and decode the signal from each of the plurality of queues. When a wireless modem experiences a change in signal strength, the present invention enables the wireless modem to adapt to data from other queues to compensate for the change in signal strength. Thus, if the signal strength improves over a period of time, the wireless modem may receive data at a higher order modulation and FEC code rate. If the signal strength weakens over a period of time, the wireless modem may receive data at a lower order modulation and FEC code rate.

Abstract: The invention is a device and method in a high-pressure chromatography system, such
as a supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) system, that uses a pump as a pressure source
for precision pumping of a compressible fluid. The preferred exemplary embodiment
comprises a pressure regulation assembly installed downstream from a compressible fluid
pump but prior to combining the compressible flow with a relatively incompressible modifier
flow stream. The present invention allows the replacement of an high-grade SFC pump in
the compressible fluid flow stream with an inexpensive and imprecise pump. The imprecise
pump becomes capable of moving the compressible fluid flow stream in a precise flow rate
and pattern. The assembly dampens the damaging effects of an imprecise pump, such as
large pressure oscillations caused by flow ripples and noisy pressure signals that do not meet
precise SFC pumping requirements.

Abstract: A power-assisted steering system includes: two or more current detectors that detects current flowing to two or more phases of a motor and outputs detected current values; a correcting unit that corrects the detected current values output from the current detectors to compensate a difference in gain between the current detectors; and a motor driving driver that drives the motor based on a deviation between the target current value and corrected detected current values. When the same current flows to the phase in which the current flowing thereto is detected by the reference current detectors and the phase in which the current flowing is detected by the other current detector, the correcting unit calculates a gain correcting coefficient based on a detected current value of the reference current detector and a detected current value of the other current detector and corrects the detected current value of the other current detector.
