Abstract: A driveline assembly and method for balancing the driveline. The driveline includes a drive shaft assembled to a rear axle having a flange therebetween. The driveline is measured to determine an imbalance and a weight is added to the flange to balance the driveline.

Abstract: A method for storing standard IEEE floating point numbers in either a first or a second encoded format. In the first encoded format, the number has an 11-bit exponent, an 18-bit mantissa, a sign bit, and a two-bit identifier that identifies the manner that the IEEE number was encoded. In the second format, the number is stored as a 30-bit integer having a two-bit identifier.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for automating the range selection process involved with arithmetic functions. When the sum function is selected, the system searches the cells above and to the left of the active cell to determine which cells the user is most likely attempting to manipulate. The range of cells selected by the system is marked by a flashing, dashed, bold border line, and is subject to confirmation by the user. To reject the range of cells selected by the system, the user only has to select a new range. The system reduces the steps required to perform an arithmetic function.
