Asynchronous/synchronous digital gain control loop in a sampled amplitude read channel

A sampled amplitude read channel is disclosed for reading data recorded on a disk storage medium by detecting an estimated binary sequence from a sequence of discrete-time sample values generated by sampling pulses in an analog read signal from a read head positioned over the disk storage medium. The read channel comprises a variable gain amplifier for adjusting the magnitude of the analog read signal before sampling, and a discrete-time gain control loop for generating a gain control signal applied to the VGA in response to the discrete-time sample values. The discrete-time sample values may, or may not be, synchronized to a baud rate of the recorded data. For example, when reading the user data the discrete-time sample values are synchronous, and when reading a servo address mark (SAM) the sample values are asynchronous. As such, the discrete-time gain control loop of the present invention is programmable to operate in a synchronous or asynchronous mode. In asynchronous mode, the gain error is computed in a manner that is less sensitive to amplitude fluctuations over long blocks of data. This is accomplished by computing the gain error as the difference between a predetermined set point and the maximum absolute sample value over a programmable block length.

Vehicle brake actuator arrangement.

The present brake actuator (20) is inserted between the brake master cylinder (10) and the usual power booster (18) in an automotive vehicle braking system. It includes a cylinder (40) for bolt-on attachment to the master cylinder housing (10) and the booster housing (44). A piston (53) in the actuator is on a shaft (64) positioned end-to-end between the shaft (51) in the booster, which is operated by the brake pedal, and the piston rod (62) of the master cylinder.

According to this invention, automatic seal welding is effected in a time which is comparable with manual seal welding by temporarily fixing a spindle in the end of each tube. The spindle is expandable in diameter and by expanding it, it can be temporarily fixed in place. After fixing it in place, a welding head is fixed over the spindle and a seal weld made. While this welding is taking place, the operator can be fixing one or more spindles in place. After the weld is completed, the head is removed and placed on a new spindle to made a new seal weld. The spindle can then be removed and placed in the end of a fresh tube.

Chair mat

This invention describes a transparent chair mat having anti-static qualities. The chair mat is substantially transparent thereby permitting the carpet thereunder to be readily seen. The chair mat can be gounded or not, as desired. This anti-static chair mat enables castered chairs to roll over it without the person sitting in the chair generating excess static-electricity.

Dielectric resonator filter having cross-coupled resonators

A dielectric resonator filter operating in a magnetic dipole mode includes a plurality of dielectric resonators disposed in a plurality of dielectric resonator cavities. A plurality of coupling mechanism provide an in-line coupling factor between respective resonators of electrically adjacent dielectric resonator cavities. At least one cross-coupling device provides cross-coupling between respective resonators of non-adjacent dielectric resonator cavities. A magnitude and sign of the in-line coupling factors and the cross-coupling factor, provide a dielectric resonator filter, for which a desired amplitude and phase response can be provided.

Securement arrangement for a level end cap

An end cap feature for a level includes a frame having a gauging surface and a web which extends at an angle relative to the gauging surface. The web includes a recess adjacent to an end of the frame. The web recess opens onto the end of the web and extends inwardly therefrom. An end member includes a web-receiving such as a slot defined between a pair of side members, each of which is formed with an opening. The web recess and the end member openings are in alignment with each other when the end of the web is received within the web-receiving structure. A retainer member is positioned within the web recess when engaged within the opening of the end member, and the retainer member and web recess are configured such that engagement of the retainer member within the web recess maintains the end member in engagement with the web. Engagement of the retainer member within the opening of the end member prevents movement of the end member relative to the web.
