Abstract: An integrated source code control and work item tracking tool is capable of establishing a relationship between work definition and work implementation. Once established, a more holistic view of the development process can be attained, and specific tasks can be easily accomplished. Tasks that may be accomplished using an integrated source code control and work item tracking tool include: automated generation of a list of work items that are completed in a new build of the system; automated updates of work items that are included in a build so that the work item details reflect the build in which it became available; automated transitioning of work items through a workflow when their implementation is complete and when their implementation is available in a new build; validation that source code changes represent the implementation of work items that have been approved; and managing change in the source code system with a focus on what work items it represents rather than a focus on what files are affected.

Abstract: A system (10) and method (50) of equalizing an audio signal from an existing radio or head unit (30) using an interface unit (10) between the radio or head unit and a replacement load (34) can include the steps analyzing (64) an existing equalization to provide a measure of an existing frequency response, generating (66) a substantially inverted frequency response to the existing frequency response, and applying (74) the inverted frequency response to the replacement load to provide a desired response. Such as system can include an interface unit (12) having an automatic input level control unit (14), an analog to digital converter or digitizer (16), a DSP (18) providing an output to a DAC (20), a level booster unit (22) and a processor such as a microcontroller unit (24).

Abstract: A system (10) and method (50) of equalizing an audio signal from a factory installed radio (30) using an interface unit (10) between the factory installed radio and a replacement load (34) can include the steps of measuring (52) an existing equalization for the factory installed radio in the interface unit, analyzing (64) the existing equalization to provide a measure of an existing frequency response suited for an old load, generating (66) a substantially inverted frequency response to the existing frequency response, and applying (74) the inverted frequency response to the replacement load to provide a desired response.

Abstract: A hydro-pneumatic tensioner includes a barrel having an inner bore and a pressurized fluid contained within to form at least part of a primary accumulator having a preset volume of gas at a nominal pressure. A piston having a piston rod extending from an aperture in the barrel is slidably carried in the bore of the barrel and is in communication with the pressurized fluid and positioned to increase the fluid pressure when the piston strokes in the direction of the pressurized fluid. A secondary accumulator also has a preset volume of gas at a preselected pressure. A fluid separator maintains functional separation of the fluid volumes of the primary and secondary accumulators when the primary accumulator pressure is less than the preselected secondary accumulator pressure. The fluid separator allows functional combining of the fluid volumes of the primary and secondary accumulators when the primary accumulator pressure equals or is greater than the preselected secondary accumulator pressure.
