Abstract: A rack-and-pinion steering system and a method for producing the same including a pinion, a toothed rack, and a bearing point for the toothed rack, wherein the toothed rack includes a toothed first part and a non-toothed second part, wherein at least the first part and the pinion form a steering gear, and the steering gear is enclosed by a steering gear housing, and wherein the bearing point is enclosed by a bearing housing ensuring permanent lubrication. The second part of the toothed rack is exposed in at least one section between the steering gear housing and the bearing housing.

Abstract: A steering rack housing (20, 100, 100?, 100?) for a power steering system that surrounds a steering rack in a tubular manner and includes a hydraulic region (32), a mechanical region (34), and as an inner supporting bearing (38), wherein the supporting bearing is held in the steering rack housing (20, 100, 100?, 100?) by at least two cross-sectional contractions (46) of the housing.

Abstract: A modular fence system that eliminates the pervasive problem of a sagging bottom rail due to the cumulative weight of the pickets bearing downwardly thereon and that does so without additional labor or material costs. A double tongue and groove structure along the vertical edges of each of the fence pickets facilitates interlocking engagement between adjoining pickets that prevents sliding vertical movement therebetween. Thus, the weight of a panel of joined together vertical fence pickets bears only at the ends of the bottom rail, into which the panel of pickets is positioned, at its two points of attachment to adjacent posts.

Abstract: Non-multiple delay element values that may be implemented to reduce periodic quantization errors associated with phase shifting devices used in phased array apparatus. The non-multiple delay element values may be implemented so that a magnitude of phase shift imparted by a given delay element of a phase shifting scheme is not a multiple or a factor of the magnitude of the phase shift imparted by any other delay element employed in the same phase shifting scheme.

Abstract: Barrel-shaped pinions and methods for their engagement with racks are provided allowing for a larger margin of inaccuracy between the rack and pinion gear set avoiding the necessity of costly, high-precision manufacturing processes. The generally barrel-shaped pinion has an outer toothed surface extending axially along a portion of the pinion. The toothed outer surface has first and second ends and a middle section. A diameter of the middle section is larger than a diameter of both the first and second ends. Also provided is a dual-pinion rack gear system utilizing a first driven pinion, a second generally barrel-shaped drive pinion and a rack. Teeth of the first driven pinion and teeth of the second drive pinion mesh with teeth of the rack at two separate locations.

Abstract: In an electric power-steering gear, in particular for motor vehicles, having a steering shaft (1) which is actuated by a steering wheel and which forms an input for a step-down gear in the form of a harmonic drive (2) and which makes available an output, in the form of a steering element (3), to a conventional steering gear, sensors which output a signal for the steering torque which is applied being arranged on the steering shaft (1) in a known fashion, and said sensors leading, via a corresponding amplifier circuit, to an electric motor (10) which is arranged coaxially with respect to the steering shaft (1) and the steering element (3), the stator of the electric motor (10) is arranged fixed in terms of rotation in the externally toothed flexible rotor (4) and the elliptical driver (6) of the harmonic gear (2) acting, as a result of the elastically deformable, externally toothed flexible rotor (4), with migrating engagement on the internally toothed annular stator (5), which is fixed in position, and the fl

Abstract: Problems associated with variations in pulse amplitude due to, for example, intersymbol interference, which can otherwise create problems in timing recovery circuits using the edges of the pulses are overcome by basing timing recovery on the center of the received pulses rather than the leading or trailing edges. Although jitter due to variations in pulse amplitude is not eliminated, timing recovery is improved because jitter due to variations in the center of the pulse are less than is jitter in the edges of the pulse.
