Abstract: A convertible top having a glass window attached to the top by positioning a ring around a window opening in the soft top and wrapping an edge of the window opening around at least a portion of the ring. An adhesive is positioned between the edge portion of the ring and the soft top and the glass window is positioned over the ring and secured thereto by an adhesive.

Abstract: A method of attaching a glass window to an auto soft top by positioning a ring around a window opening in the soft top and wrapping an edge of the window opening around at least a portion of the ring. An adhesive is positioned between the edge portion of the ring and the soft top and the glass window is positioned over the ring and secured thereto by an adhesive.

Abstract: A novel method of enhancing power amplifier linearity is disclosed. The invention is for use within a transceiver system and provides a method in the digital domain for predistorting a digital modulated signal to compensate for the non-linearity properties of the power amplifier and other components within the transmitter system. The RF output signal of the transmitter circuit is sampled and the corresponding amplitude and phase are detected using a receiver circuit. In dependence upon the amplitude and phase information, a look-up table is indexed to select the predistortion data and predistortion of the digital modulated signal occurs within the predistortion circuit.

Abstract: A tonneau cover is provided which has at least one hinge-mounted latch adjacent the front of the cover, at least one support prop along the side of the cover intermediate the front and rear of the cover, and at least one latch mounted adjacent the rear of the cover, with a pair of independent side rails mounted to the vehicle, at least one of which contains a bracket for releasably receiving the hinge-mounted latch, a support prop receiving bracket cantilevered below and away from the vehicle side wall, and a rear catch bracket for receiving the rearward latch independent of dimensional variations induced from thermal forces over the cover. To facilitate release of the hinge-mounted latch within close confines of the front area of the vehicle bed, a self-contained trip handle is included in the receiving bracket.
