A technique is disclosed for controlling data packet transmissions from a server to a client having a client buffer in accordance with a waiting mode and a dynamic mode. The waiting mode is performed before packets containing data encoded subject to a current bit rate have reached the client buffer; the dynamic mode is performed otherwise. In the waiting mode, down-switches to lower bit rates are allowed but up-switches to higher bit rates are disabled. In the dynamic mode, up-switches and down-switches are both allowed, with adjustments in the bit rate of packets controlled based, in part, on the amount of data contained within the client buffer when packets containing data encoded subject to the current bit rate first reached the client buffer. The two modes help avoid unnecessary rate switches.

In an engine of a working machine having no governor mechanism, the engine revolution speed is controlled such that the revolution speed can stably be maintained irrespective of the variation in load without adjusting the throttle opening to exploit the full potential of the engine. Since an engine 1 does not have the governor mechanism, an operator adjusts the throttle opening and controls the engine revolution speed.

The map 30 is set such that the engine revolution speed is equal to or higher than a value to be controlled (e.g. 7000 rpm), and the ignition timing is lagged as compared with a case in which the engine revolution speed is lower than the value to be controlled.

The invention relates to the fixing of a natural ashlar panel to a substructure with an anchor having an internal thread. The invention proposes that the corresponding blind hole be drilled to residual wall thickness R and the anchor be set in a recessed position. The natural ashlar panels with the anchors can thus be transported to the building site in the form of a compact stack. At the building site, a bolt having a stop element is mounted, which stop element is supported on the anchor. At the opposite end the substructure is clamped against the stop element. In that way, the distance of the outer surface of the natural ashlar panel from the substructure is constant even in the event of varying thicknesses D of the natural ashlar panels. As a result, laborious adjustment work is avoided.
