Abstract: A vehicle bed assembly, and process of manufacture, which involves formation of a one-piece floor pan by roll forming. The floor pan has a central pan portion and secondary portions positioned forwardly and rearwardly of wheelwell openings formed in the pan adjacent opposite side edges thereof. Strengthening ribs extend longitudinally throughout the entire length of the pan and terminate at the front and rear edges. The strengthening ribs also extend longitudinally of the secondary portions and terminate at front and rear edges of the wheelwell openings. The one-piece floor pan has the wheelwell openings formed therein, as by a controlled notching operation, after the pan has been roll formed from flat sheet material, and the notching operation provides a series of flanges around the periphery of the wheelwell opening, both along the longitudinal inner edge and on the front and rear edges. Some of the flanges are coplanar with top walls of the stiffening ribs, and others are coplanar with the base wall of the pan between the stiffening ribs. The roll-formed pan is subjected to a subsequent forming operation which causes the flanges to be wiped downwardly generally into a perpendicular relationship so that the flanges are positionable in overlapping relationship to the vehicle inner side wall or wheelwell housing for securement thereto, such as by welding.

Abstract: Ce dispositif de soutien (53) comporte une première partie (69) et une seconde partie (71) soutenue, par un ressort à gaz (73), relativement à la première partie et sur un plan parallèle au sens de soutien. Le dispositif de soutien est pourvu d'une alimentation en gaz (117) destinée à compenser les fuites de gaz se produisant à partir d'une chambre de pression (75) du ressort à gaz lors du fonctionnement. Dans le cadre de cette invention, l'alimentation en gaz est reliée à un espace intermédiaire (119) en communication avec la chambre de pression par le biais d'un étranglement pneumatique (121), la pression de gaz régnant dans l'espace intermédiaire étant maintenue sensiblement constante lors du fonctionnement par une boucle de régulation (123) agissant sur cette pression de gaz. Il est, ainsi, possible d'éviter quasiment toute transmission des variations de pression de l'alimentation en gaz vers la chambre de pression. Ces variations de pression dans la chambre de pression sont fâcheuses dans la mesure où elles provoquent des vibrations mécaniques dans la seconde partie du dispositif de soutien et, partant, dans l'appareil à soutenir. On utilise ce dispositif de soutien dans un appareil de lithographie pour soutenir un cadre (39) relativement à une base (37), ce cadre (39) supportant une unité de focalisation (5).

Abstract: A data block includes a plurality of sub-blocks. Each sub-block includes a sub-block check bit that may be used to detect the presence of a bit error within the sub-block. A composite sub-block is generated, which is the column-wise exclusive-or of the bits of each sub-block. In one embodiment, the composite sub-block is not stored, but rather used for computational purposes only. A plurality of composite check bits is used to detect a bit position of a bit error within the composite sub-block. If a bit error within the data block occurs, the sub-block check bits may be used to detect in which sub-block the error occurred. The composite check bits may be used to determine which bit position of the composite sub-block is erroneous. The erroneous bit position of the composite sub-block also identifies the bit position of the erroneous bit in the sub-block identified by the sub-block check bits. Accordingly, the sub-block and the bit position within the sub-block may be detected by using the sub-block check bits and the composite check bits. <IMAGE>
