Abstract: A control pedal assembly includes a support structure having a guide surface and a pedal arm carrying a pedal at a lower end of the pedal arm. The pedal arm is pivotable relative to the support structure about a pivot axis between a released position and an applied position. A hysteresis device is secured to an upper end of the pedal arm and engages the guide surface so that the hysteresis device slides along the guide surface as the pivot arm pivots between the released position and the applied position. A distance between the guide surface and the pivot axis varies so that the hysteresis device applies an increasing normal force to the guide surface to create an increasing friction force that opposes sliding motion of the hysteresis device as the pedal arm pivots from the released position to the applied position.

Abstract: A processor is configured to perform a method (110) including a step of deriving lateral offset indicators (1062) from a longitudinal position measurement (130). Improved seek cost indicators (1063) are generated, some or all based on a respective lateral offset indicator (140). Then a target destination is selected using at least one of the improved seek cost indicators (150,160).

Abstract: A test circuit for exposing higher order speed paths. A test circuit includes a clock generation circuit coupled to a test clock control unit. The clock generation circuit is configured to receive an input clock signal and to generate an output clock signal. The test clock control unit is configured to selectively provide a user programmable test vector or a fixed test vector to control the generation of the output clock signal by the clock generation circuit depending upon a state of a first mode select signal.

Abstract: A method and system of filtering an unfiltered servo torque table of a disc drive where a plurality of data points are added to the beginning and end of the unfiltered servo table and the table is then shifted by a valve and then filtered.

Abstract: A method of interconnecting a dual media component assembly for an automotive vehicle instrument panel includes the steps of mounting a first component to a first surface of a unitary bracket, fixing a second component to a second surface of the unitary bracket so as to create a dual component subassembly, and placing the subassembly within a chassis for mounting within the instrument panel.

Abstract: A media componentry assembly for mounting in a compartment formed in an automotive vehicle instrument panel includes, a chassis adapted to be mountably received within the compartment and a unitary cast bracket having a plurality of surfaces for mounting a plurality of components adapted to be mountably received within the chassis.
