In one embodiment web page response time is improved by requesting multiple resources in a batch request, receiving said resources in a batch response, and disjoining the resources and corresponding HTTP headers before caching on the client. The resources are retrieved by web browser from the cache separately without loss of cache granularity. Client parses base page to determine the embedded resources and includes in the batch requests only web addresses those resources that are uncached or may be expired. To reduce required bandwidth, server validates caching information of every resource before sending the batch response. In another embodiment web application performance for mobile users is improved by combining individually requested resources into the batch response on a network node positioned on a link between cellular network and the Internet.

A transmission mechanism of the continuously variable transmission comprises a set of primary and secondary pulleys between which a belt is provided. The CVT control unit is operable to supply line pressure directly to a secondary pulley and also to a primary pulley via a shift control valve associated with a step motor in such a manner as to control a transmission ratio. The CVT control unit calculates a standard step position of the step motor corresponding to the target transmission ratio and provides a command signal representative of a difference between the standard step position and the current position of the step motor. The shift control valve actuated by the step motor controls the pressure to be supplied to the primary pulley. The actual transmission ratio obtained on the basis of the rotation speeds of the pulleys is compared with the target transmission ratio. If the shift is not accomplished, the CVT control unit commands additional step number. Unless the shift to the HI side is accomplished at the time when the additional step number reaches the threshold value, the line pressure is increased so as to achieve the shift. Thus, the transmission normally operates with a low line pressure sufficiently to reduce a frictional loss at the contact areas of the belt and the pulleys, thereby resulting in an enhanced fuel economy.
