Abstract: A self-servoing disc brake assembly (10) is provided that includes a driven rotor
member (11) having a first inner surface with a plurality of first pockets. The driven rotor
member also includes a first friction surface spaced from the first inner surface. A movable
rotor member (14) is supported on the driven rotor member and is movable relative to the
driven rotor member between non-servoed and servoed positions. The friction surfaces are
spaced a first distance in the non-servo position, and the friction surfaces are spaced a
second distance which is greater than a first distance in the servo position. The movable
rotor member includes a second inner surface with a plurality of second pockets adjacent to
the first inner surface and a friction surface spaced from the second inner surface. A
plurality of balls (24) are arranged between the first and second pockets with at least one of
the first and second pockets being ramped. A friction member, such as a disc brake pad
(42), is arranged adjacent to the first friction surface and is movable between engaged and
non-engaged positions. The friction member is spaced from the second friction surface in
the non-engaged position and the friction member is in contact with the second friction
surface in the engaged position to rotate the movable rotor member to the servoed position
and produce a supplemental brake clamping force. As the brake pads are moved into
engagement with the driven and movable rotor members, a shear force is created on the
second friction surface. The shear force causes the movable rotor member to rotate relative
to and away from the driven rotor member. As a result, for a particular brake input force a
larger braking torque is achieved.

Abstract: For route guidance, an intersection guidance unit (32)
generates a route guide map for providing route guidance at
an intersection which a user's vehicle approaches, and
displays the map on a display device (6) through an image
combiner (18). A guidance statement generator (40) acquires
a predetermined word significant to the route guidance, such
as an intersection name or a place name indicating a
destination or intermediate point, from the intersection
guidance unit (32) to form a route guidance statement using
the native language of a user. The guidance statement
generator (40) then forms a guidance statement with a word
having a plurality of readings, such as a place name,
announced in a local language (language local to the region
where the vehicle is located). Based on the formed guidance
statement, a speech signal is generated by a speech
synthesizer (42), and is then input to a speaker (7) to
provide the guidance statements, by speech, using both the
native language and the local language.

Abstract: A document management system. The system uses well known MACs,
Message Authentication Codes, or equivalents. In general, an MAC is used
to authenticate a copy of a document. First, the document (18) is fed (21) to
a specific algorithm (24), which produces the MAC (27). Then a copy-to-be-verified
is fed to the same algorithm (24). If the same MAC (27) is obtained,
the copy is taken as authenticated. Under the invention, when maintenance
is undertaken on an aircraft, a technician uses a computer to generate a
digital document (18) describing the maintenance. An MAC (27) is generated
for the digital document (18). The technician encrypts the MAC (27), using
the technician's encryption key (33). The encrypted MAC (34) is attached to
the digital document (18), and the pair is stored. Now, any copies of the
document (18) can be validated by (1) de-crypting the MAC (27) and (2)
validating the document using the MAC (27). In one embodiment, no paper
documents are generated, nor signed, at the time of the maintenance.

removed from given bits of the code symbols. The removed bits are then
replaced with high-speed pilot bits for power control.

Abstract: A shredder dust electrostatic separation apparatus
separates and recovers various kinds of crushed pieces included

includes a rotating drum (2) made of a conductive material, which
receives supplied shredder dust, a positive or negative voltage
being applied thereon. The apparatus further includes a discharge
wire (15) strung along the sideline of the rotating drum (2). A negative
or positive voltage is applied to the discharge wire (15) to cause
a discharge in a space between the discharge wire and the rotating
drum. The various kinds of crushed pieces included in the shredder
dust are charged by the discharge, the polarity of the crushed
pieces being opposite to that of the rotating drum. The charged
crushed pieces are attracted to the rotating drum. The charges
of the crushed pieces are allowed to move to the rotating drum
in accordance with the conductivities of the crushed pieces.
Accordingly, there are differences in attraction force of the
crushed pieces. The crushed pieces are appropriately separated
and recovered based on such differences in attraction force.
