PCT No. PCT/JP93/01289 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 10, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 10, 1995 PCT Filed Sep. 10, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/05523 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 17, 1994The thermal load on a transmission clutch, which is generated when a shift between forward and reverse is made, can be reduced and a shock from a speed change can be eliminated. To these ends, as soon as a speed change signal is received (step...

PURPOSE:To reduce a shock generated at the time of gear change effectively by delaying the timing of performing torque-down control through a torque-down delaying means at the time of gear change control based on the first gear change pattern for performing gear change control through the transitional operating modes of frictional elements at the time of gear change. CONSTITUTION:A gear change con...

PURPOSE: To provide a transmission case of identical construction irrespective of the operating method of a clutch by improving a stiffener to be fitted to reinforce a connecting part of a cylinder block of an engine to the transmission case. CONSTITUTION: An extension part 3d which is extended over a basic part 3c to be a transmission case side fitting part is provided on a stiffener 3 to be fitt...

PURPOSE: To carry out driving in which fuel consumption is lowered (economy running) after a start of fuel supply to an engine so as to prevent generation of an engine stop by arranging a controlling means by which an air flow rate is controlled to that in idle driving and a clutch is released. CONSTITUTION: By means of a controlling means 48, various kinds of signals are inputted, a fuel injectio...

A seismic shut off valve includes a cripple column responsive to seismic movement. A toggle spring overlies the cripple column. Latch pins extend from the toggle spring into a valve body to hold a popper valve in an open position. During an earthquake, the cripple column buckles causing the toggle spring to bow upwardly under spring force exerted on the toggle spring through the latch pins from th...

Control of a multi-variable process involves multi-dimensional representation of the values (Qa-Qh) of the process variables according to individual coordinate axes (Xa-Xh), and response based on sets of values for the process-variables accumulated from multiple, earlier operations of the process. An acceptable range (UL-LL) for each process variable due to the current values of the other variable...
