Abstract: To be able to exhibit precise and sufficient vibration
damping performance with regard to vibration not only in the
low frequency region but also a wide range of high frequencies
with less power consumption, an MR fluid pathway (9) for
hermetically sealing and holding the MR fluid (8) is formed to
be of crankshaft shape in cross section with vertical pathway
portions (9A, 9B) and horizontal pathway portions (9C), the pathway
being between a piston-shaped member (6) and a cylindrical member

vibration, an electromagnet (10) capable of forming a magnetic
field across the horizontal pathway portions (9C) of the pathway
(9), controlling the amplitude of the magnetic field to thereby
change the viscosity of the MR fluid (8), fixed and supported
on the piston-shaped member (6).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for bandwidth estimation and a
method for adaptive filtering in a data receiver, wherein said data
receiver has been provided with a set of filters each having a known
bandwidth and capable of removing noise from a quantity z r 
derived from a received signal, either method comprising, for each one
of these filters: a) the application of the filter to z r , thus
yielding a quantity z F , and b) the calculation of the power
Δ of the difference between z r  and z F . For
bandwidth estimation, one determines for each filter whether it has
truncated the noiseless component of z r , on the basis of a
criterion involving Δ and σ and 2   n , where
σ and 2   n  is an estimate of the power of the noise
component of z r . For adaptive filtering, one selects one filter
out of the set on the basis of the same criterion, in such a way that
the largest possible amount of noise is removed from z r  without
truncating its noiseless component.
