Abstract: The invention provides improved suppression of co-channel interference (CCI) in a wireless cellular communications system where at least two base stations use the same transmit frequency. The method according to the invention uses the difference in synchronisation times between the home signal and the CCI signal to suppress the CCI signal. The method uses a modified known method of estimating time of arrival (TOA) to estimate sync. positions for the CCI signal. This enables the use of interference cancelling methods in communications systems using un-synchronised base stations. Receiver performance is improved, which in turn improves data throughput and received speech quality, since interfering signals from base stations using the same frequency can be suppressed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electronic device having a circuit board, a shielding plate disposed thereon and a three-terminal regulator is provided with a heat sink positioned on the outer side of the circuit board and connected to the three-terminal regulator. The heat of three-terminal regulator is radiated from the heat sink, thus making it possible to prevent heating of the shielding plate. In this way, electronic device elements that do not stand up very well to heat, such as an optical pickup unit, can be placed directly on shielding plate, so that the heat of three-terminal regulator is efficiently dissipated and the size of the electronic devices may be reduced.

Abstract: A steering system for amphibious vehicle includes a control connected to road steering means. Ram is conventionally used to assist road steering, but by disconnecting command valves, it becomes a hydraulic master cylinder, driving slave cylinder; and thus marine steering means. Valves and hydraulic reservoir enable the marine steering to be disconnected from road steering. The marine steering means may be center biased by springs. A sensor and control means may synchronize center positions of road and marine steering. The valve and port layout may also achieve this goal. Alternatively, power steering in road mode may be maintained by fitting a master cylinder in parallel or in series with steering means; and may have hydraulic, electro-hydraulic, electric, or magnetic assistance.

Abstract: An improved method of commutating an electronically commutated DC motor shuts off application of power between the end of one current pulse and the beginning of the subsequent current pulse. Based upon the instantaneous rotation speed, one calculates at what instant to shut off the power. During the power interruption, the disconnected winding is operated in short-circuit mode using two MOSFET transistors, and the decay of the current is monitored. When the current reaches a predetermined reduced value, the terminals of the winding are switched to a high-resistance state, until the subsequent current pulse is started. This has the advantage that less reactive power occurs during operation, and one need not install as bulky a storage capacitor as the capacitors used heretofore.
