Abstract: The displacement of fluid translating devices are normally
controlled by changing the angle of an eccentric or a cam plate to change the
pumping stroke of the pistons within the device. In the subject arrangement, the
displacement of the fluid translating device (12) is controlled by controlling the
flow being delivered into or away from each of the associated pressure chambers
(48) defined therein by the respective ones of a plurality of pistons (46). By not
permitting the flow from every piston to be directed into useful work, the volume
of fluid being directed into or away from the fluid translating device can be
altered. Likewise, the direction of fluid flow within the fluid translating device
can be selectively changed thus permitting the subject fluid translating device to
be capable of pumping or motoring in both directions of flow relative to the first
and second inlet/outlet ports (52,54) thereof.

Abstract: In a data communication system, a transmitter of an ADSL modem uses a
PRBS generator to generate a plurality of ADSL signals. The transmitter computes
the Peak to Average (e.g., root-mean-square) ("PAR") ratio of each of the ADSL

Abstract: A servo controller is capable of preventing downward displacement of a
gravitating axis of a machine when an excitation of a servomotor (5) for
driving the gravitating axis is discontinued. When a shutdown command is
issued, a command for shifting a position of the gravitating axis by an offset
amount in a direction opposing the gravitation is issued to a servo system.
Also, a command for operating a mechanical brake (8) to apply a braking force
on the gravitating axis is issued. After a predetermined time period, the
excitation of the servomotor (5) is discontinued. The position of the
gravitating axis is shifted upward by the offset amount within a time-lag
between an issuance of the mechanical brake operating command and actual
application of the braking force by the mechanical brake (8), and the braking
force is applied to the gravitating axis at the shifted position. When the
excitation of the servomotor (5) is discontinued, the downward displacement of
the position of the gravitating axis due to a backlash of the mechanical brake
(8) is compensated by the upward shifting of the gravitating axis. Thereby,
movable elements connected to the gravitating axis are prevented from
collision or interference with peripheral objects.
