Abstract: A vehicle wheel bearing-hub unit (1) of the type
comprising a dual ring of balls (3, 4) in which the
radially inner and axially outer race is formed in a
separate annular component (5) inserted on the hub (2),

the hub which is folded by means of cold forming. The
surface (5a) of the annular component (5) presents
radial roughness means (7) such that in performing the
cold forming, the folded portion (2b') is deformed by
the roughness means (7) and reproduces the shape
thereof, whereby the annular component (5) is secured
for rotation with the hub (2). 
     A process to manufacture the above mentioned unit, in
which the annular component (5) is inserted on the hub
with no radial interference or minimum radial
interference.

Abstract: A tunable blade structure for use in a communication plug terminating a
cable carrying a plurality of conductors. One end of the blades is designed as an
insulation displacement connector (IDC) for electrical communication with the
conductors from the cable. The other end of the blades is designed as a jack
contact region for electrical communication with jack springs. Between these two
ends are three regions for manipulating the electrical characteristics of the blades:
a capacitive coupling region, an inductive coupling region and an isolation region.
By appropriately designing these three regions, electrical interference (i.e.,
crosstalk) between the conductors can be optimized.

Abstract: There is described a process for deploying a medical construct in a
body cavity, so as to function for example as a stent in a body lumen. The construct
is used by forming a coil from a strand that has an interior and an exterior portion,
and thereafter heating while expanding the coil so as to melt only the exterior
portion. When that melted portion resolidifies with the coil in the expanded state,
the coil's integrity and resistance against forces such as compression is maintained
by the unmelted but stretched interior portion, and the expanded shape is maintained
by the adhesiveness of the solidified exterior portion.

signal so that it is accurately digitized by the digitizing circuit
irrespective of an offset component which is a direct current
component contained in the TLN signal. The correction circuit is
comprised of an offset component detecting circuit (13,17,114) for detecting a
level of the offset component contained in the TLN signal; and a signal
control circuit (115,116,117) for controlling, responsive to the level of the offset

receive any influence from the level of the direct component. The
correction circuit can also be comprised of a signal correcting
circuit which amplifies an alternating current component contained
in the TLN signal without eliminating a directed current component
contained in the TLN signal.

IPC: H04B1/30
Filed: 1996-03-01
Abstract: A method for processing a signal modulated with
information symbols to account for an additive offset
and slope is disclosed. First, an initial estimate of
offset and slope is made and hypotheses of all possible
values of a sequence of one or more information symbols
are then made. For each of said hypotheses, the
associated data symbol sequence is used to make an
improved estimate of offset and slope and the improved
estimate of offset and slope are stored against each of
the hypotheses. For each hypothesis, the improved
estimate of offset and slope is used in calculating an
expected signal value and a mismatch between a sample
of the modulated signal and the expected value is
computed. The hypotheses are then sequentially
extended by one symbol, the slope and offset estimates
are updated and the mismatches are accumulated to form
a path metric value for each extended hypothesis, and
resolving between said hypotheses based on said path
metric values using a Viterbi Sequential Maximum
Likelihood Sequence Estimation process to produce a
most likely hypothesis of said modulated information
symbols substantially unimpaired by said additive slope
and offset.
