Abstract: Based on the K\"onigl's inhomogeneous jet model, we estimate the 
jet parameters, such as bulk Lorentz factor $\Gamma$, viewing 
angle $\theta$ and electron number density $n_{\rm e}$ from radio 
VLBI and X-ray data for a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). 
The kinetic luminosity of jets is then calculated using the 
derived jet parameters. We find a strong correlation 
between the total luminosity of broad emission lines and the 
kinetic luminosity of the jets. 
This result supports the scenario that the accretion process are 
tightly linked with the radio jets, though how the disk and jet 
are coupled is not revealed by present correlation analysis. 
Moreover, we find a significant correlation between the kinetic 
luminosity and radio extended luminosity. This implies that the 
emission from the radio lobes are closely related with the energy 
flux transported through jets from the central part of AGNs.
