Abstract:
A fluid pump has a cylinder supporting a plunger and a pump housing formed with dissimilar metals. A pressing mechanism presses the cylinder and the pump housing relative to each other so that a pressurizing chamber is sealed through a pressing surface between the pump housing and the cylinder. The number of seal points can be reduce, and a reduction in reliability can be eliminated while realizing a reduction in weight of the pump housing and a reduction in cost due to increase in cutting capability, by using a soft material such as an aluminum alloy for the pump housing.
Abstract:
A high pressure fuel pump for an internal combustion engine having a cylinder, a plunger slidably fitted in the cylinder and a seal mechanism for blocking fuel leakage from an end of a sliding portion between the cylinder and the plunger and also for preventing an lubricant for a driving mechanism of the plunger from entering into the cylinder from the end of the sliding portion of the cylinder and the plunger. A holder surrounding the end of the sliding portion of the cylinder and the plunger is provided. The seal mechanism comprises two mutually independent seal devices mounted with a specific spacing in a longitudinal direction from the end of the sliding portion of the cylinder and the plunger along a circumference of the plunger. The two seal devices are held on the circumference of the plunger by the holder surrounding the end of the sliding portion of the cylinder and the plunger while keeping the specific spacing.
Abstract:
The objective of the present invention is to dampen operating sounds of an electromagnetic drive mechanism used for a variable displacement to reduce an individual difference depending on apparatus due to the control mechanism in a high-pressure fuel supply pump change over time or installation tolerance.To achieve the above objective, the present invention is configured such that before the electromagnetic drive mechanism supplies a drive force to a plunger which is electromagnetically driven by the electromagnetic drive mechanism, another displacement force situates the plunger in a specific position. When compared to an occasion where the plunger is displaced all strokes by a magnetic biasing force, the above configuration is able to reduce the force of impact on a member (for example, valve body) mounted to the plunger and a restricting member, thereby damping the collision noise. Furthermore, since an extra member, such as a damping member, is not required, individual difference depending on apparatus do not easily occur.
Abstract:
In a mobile radio communication system, a transmitter of a base station transmits broadcast information to receivers of mobile stations in the form of frames. The transmitter produces a long frame composed of a plurality of frames each including a first bit sequence and part of the broadcast information following the first bit sequence, and a second bit sequence located at the head of the long frame. Each of the first bit sequences and the second bit sequence is used for establishing synchronization between the transmitter and each of the receivers. Upon receipt of the long frame from the transmitter, the receiver establishes synchronization of the long frame based on the foregoing second bit sequence.
Abstract:
A mobile communication system includes a base station and mobile stations divided into a plurality of groups. A radio communication device 10 at the base station spreads framed control information using a spreading code, and then transmits it via a control channel to the mobile stations. The radio communication device 10 includes a header spreading code generating section 16 which produces mutually different two spreading codes, and further includes a header adding section 17 which, using the mutually different two spreading codes, double-spreads information about allocation of an access right to corresponding one of the groups and adds the double-spread information as a frame header to a frame body representing the foregoing framed and spread control information.
Abstract:
An intermittent transmission control system based on a TDMA system which involves a burst transmission, has a sound presence detector for detecting presence or absence of sound information to be transmitted on the basis of an aural signal input from a microphone; a switch unit for switching types of the burst transmission; and a call control processor for causing the switch unit to switch the types of the burst transmission in such a way that a normal burst transmission containing the sound information is performed if presence of the sound information is detected by the sound presence detector, whereas a reduced burst transmission containing time interval information of the burst transmission is performed if no burst transmission is performed for a predetermined time. The call control processor also causes the switch unit to switch the types of the burst transmission in such a way that the normal burst transmission containing Fast Associated Control Channel information is performed.
Abstract:
An error detecting device and method for use when applying the Viterbi decoding to an inputted signal, when it is necessary to derive the number of errors included in a decoded signal. A value of a path metric derived upon the Viterbi decoding is read out and outputted as the number of errors. Two kinds of decoding devices, each reading out a value of a path metric and outputting this value as the number of errors, are provided for a sound signal and an FACCH signal. A signal is inputted to both devices for decoding, respectively. The numbers of errors derived from both devices are compared, and it is judged based on a result of the comparison, whether the inputted signal is the sound signal or the FACCH signal.
Abstract:
A decoder receives frames of data that have been block coded, then convolutionally coded, at a rate of multiple frames per block. As each frame is received, the decoder counts it, stores convolutional code path information, and updates metric values pertaining to the paths. Once per block of frames, the decoder selects a path having the best metric value, convolutionally decodes one block, detects errors from both the block code and path metric, and generates error information. From the error information, the decoder decides whether block synchronization has been acquired or lost, and clears, decrements, or sets the frame count accordingly. If synchronized, the decoder outputs the block and its error information, and updates the path memory in preparation to decode the next block. Otherwise, the decoder prepares to reacquire block synchronization.
Abstract:
An equalizer including a channel estimator allowing a Viterbi algorithm processor to estimate transmitted symbols accurately, so that the impulse response of a transmission channel may not deviate from the correct one. The equalizer outputs an transmitted symbol sequence estimate having the largest path metric by correcting the channel impulse response by parameter coefficients of the LMS (Least Mean Square) or RLS (Recursive Least Square) algorithm, by compensating for phase fluctuations due to the frequency offset and phase jitter of received signals, or by using a sequence included in an intermediate portion of a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) frame format.
