Abstract: Dans une transmission hydromécanique(10) comportant une unité hydrostatique (20) et un train d'engrenages mécanique, l'unité hydrostatique (20) est logée de manière élastique dans le carter (12) de transmission pour réduire la propagation du bruit et des vibrations au carter (12). Le mouvement de l'unité hydrostatique (20) est facilité par le montage du support planétaire (50) sur un roulement à billes (68) à la place d'un roulement à rouleaux coniques. Le roulement à billes (68) permet au support (50) d'effectuer un mouvement limité, transversalement à l'axe de rotation dudit support (50). Afin de réduire plus encore l'usure des roues d'engrenage, un ou plusieurs engrenages en prise (P1, P2, 48), au point de mouvement relatif, ont des roues bombées (70) et non plates, ce qui évite d'avoir une seule ligne de contact sur le bord des dents en prise.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a beamforming method for smart antenna arrays, and in particular relates to a beamforming method for smart two-dimensional antennas. Smart antennas employ arrays of low gain antennas connected to a combining/beamforming network. Smart antennas can provide enhanced coverage through range extension, hole filling and improved building penetration. By improving transmission and reception at the base station, the tolerable path losses can be increased whereby the range of the base station can be improved. A first aspect of the invention thus provides a method of generating low sidelobe beampatterns for 2-dimensional arrays. A further aspect addresses the feedback signalling techniques which are presently being considered by standard bodies for four antennas in large arrays. The invention is suitable for CDMA wireless cellular systems, as presently determined for third generation cellular wireless networks, and other wireless systems such as TDMA systems and wireless LANs. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus, a wireless communication method thereof, and a wireless communication system employing the same. A master device (U1) of the wireless communication system requests one slave device (U2) to perform temporarily a function of a master device for a predetermined time, and sends Piconet information about other slave devices (U3). The one slave device (U2) receives the Piconet information from the master device (U1) and communicates with the other slave devices (U3) of the network for a predetermined time as a temporary master device. Accordingly, the one slave device (U2) becomes a dynamic master device and communicates with the other slave devices by using a frequency hopping sequence and a clock of a previous master device (U1). There is no need to transmit the frequency hopping sequence and the clock of the new master device to the slave devices, and accordingly, much time can be saved. <IMAGE>
