Abstract: A locking device for an adjustable steering column for a motor vehicle may include an actuating shaft that is mounted such that it can be rotated about a rotational axis, that is connected to an operative element of a clamping device, and that is coupled to a rotor of a rotational damper. The rotor may be mounted rotatably in a housing and may be capable of being driven rotationally about a rotor axis by the actuating shaft. A rotational movement of the rotor may be damped in at least one rotational direction. The rotor may have at least one blade that projects radially with regard to the rotor axis and that has a contact face that makes frictional contact with a contact track on an inner face of the housing. Such a locking device has an improved rotational damper, is less complicated to manufacture, and has high acceptance in automotive engineering.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments of methods, systems, and apparatuses for sending and receiving signals in a digital communication system. In one embodiment performs steps of transmitting a signal from a device with a first antenna array and calibrating the signal with a phase shift of the signal. In one exemplary method embodiment, a signal is transmitted from a beam-forming transmitter to an assisting receiver in an IEEE 802.11 wireless transmission. A return calibration signal from the assisting receiver with information regarding the phase error of signal is received by the beam-forming transceiver. The beam-forming transmitter introduces a calibration phase error to cancel the phase error as reported by the assisting receiver.
