Abstract: A selectively engageable and interlocking cupholder assembly, which may be used an aircraft or vehicle interior while in movement.

Abstract: There is provided a mechanism for uplink transmission power control in a communication network. An uplink transmission power for a transmission from a communication network element to a communication network control element is calculated. When a transmission power control command from the communication network control element is received instructing e.g. an increase of the uplink transmission power or a decrease of the uplink transmission power, it is checked whether the calculated uplink transmission power is above a maximum transmission power of the communication network element or below a minimum transmission power of the communication network element.

Abstract: A snowboard assembly includes an elongated panel has a top side, a bottom side, a front end and a back end. One of foot engaging member is positioned nearer to the front end and one foot engaging member is positioned nearer to the back end. Each of the foot engaging members comprises a first rail and a second rail each attached to the top side. A plate is positioned on the top side and extends between and engages the first and second rails. The plate is selectively slidable along the first and second rails. A foot covering is couplable to the plate to releasably secure a person's foot to the plate. A resistance apparatus engages the plate to increase or decrease a frictional force between the first and second rails and the plate to selectively alter ease of movement of the relative to the first and second rails.

Abstract: A detect control device is provided that monitors a position error signal signature associated with a transducer while being operably supported by an actuator at a substantially constant fly height adjacent a storage medium to characterize the extent to which the actuator contacts an unload ramp. A method is provided for: supporting a transducer at an end of an actuator at a substantially constant fly height adjacent a storage medium; moving the actuator toward an unload ramp while maintaining the substantially constant fly height; and detecting a contacting engagement between the actuator and the unload ramp by monitoring a position error signal signature associated with the transducer.
