  • Patent number: 6834562
    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a drive motor, a torque transfer device with an actuating device, a gearbox with at least one shift shaft, an actuating device, and a control device. The actuation of the torque transfer device and the gearbox is automatically controlled through the control device or an input thereto. The gearbox actuation includes a first and second movement component, e.g., a rotational and translation movement. The gearbox actuating device has a first and second drive dedicated to the first and second movement components. A multi part element transfers movement to the shift shaft and includes at least one axial groove for the axial guidance and rotational movement transfer, and at least one ring groove or ring groove segment for the rotational guidance and axial movement transfer. The multi part element includes at least one sleeve like element having a toothed spline, a follower, and a toothed rod.

  • Patent number: 5870433
    Abstract: A method of digital telecommunication via an electrical cable is provided, whereby the symbols of a data stream to be transmitted are supplied as a transmission signal to a transmission path, after undergoing a digital-to-analog conversion. The transmission signal is received and sampled at the end of the transmission path on a receiving side. To further process the received signal on the receiving side, a Viterbi decoder operating on the basis of a trellis diagram is used. The Viterbi decoder uses a number of feedback filters to determine branch or path metrics in the trellis diagram, where this number is a function of the number of states in the trellis diagram. To determine the branch metrics in the trellis diagram, separate first feedback filters (8) are only used up to a specifiable number of symbol intervals in the trellis diagram, or up to a specifiable length of feedback filters for all states in the trellis diagram.
