This invention discloses a cross-linked spherical particulate having good toughness and elasticity and excellent chemical properties and a method of producing said particulate by polymerizing a dispersion of a radical-polymerizable component (M) containing a radical-polymerizable vinylic compound (V) prepared by the reaction of a specified polyol (a), an isocyanate compound (b), and a radical-poly...

PURPOSE:To accurately switch engine torque so as to prevent a speed change shock from being generated by outputting an engine torque switching request signal with a delay of the preset timing after judging a speed change starting and canceling the engine torque switching request signal with the delay of the preset timing after judging the speed change ending. CONSTITUTION:When a speed change is ju...

The device aims to reduce the bulk and the complexity of creels, i.e., of the supports of the spools (12) which are specifically installed proximate to weaving machines, caused by the path of the thread unwinding longitudinally from the spool (12) and subjected to tension variations and to lateral flapping; to shorten the path of the thread (14); to facilitate changing the spool (12); and to allow...

Dimpling of a workpiece by rebounding of a magnetic repulsion punch mechanism, when operated at high punching rates, is avoided by application of a damping pulse at a point at or subsequent to a mid-point of a return stroke of the punch from the workpiece and preferably within the last 10% of the return stroke. This damping pulse is preferably a fraction of the pulse width and of approximately the...

A system is provided for conveying fluid lubricant forwardly to lubricate a forward bearing support member (26) of a vehicular tandem axle assembly (100). The system includes a first open-sided trough (38) in to which the fluid lubricant is deposited by a differential gear assembly (14). Trough (38) is in fluid communication with a second open-sided trough (40) that slopes forwardly and downwardly...

The invention concerns a method in reeling of a paper or board web in a drum reel-up or equivalent, in which, when a paper or board reel (R) formed on a reel spool (11) becomes complete, a new reel spool (11') is brought by means of transfer members (32) into a stand-by position and accelerated up to the web speed, the reel spool (11) with the reel (R) is transferred by means of a transfer device ...

Method of manufacturing a dispenser cathode, in which method tungsten and a scandium-containing material are mechanically alloyed and the product thus formed is pressed into a cathode body. The cathode body is further provided with a barium-containing component. In the mechanical alloying process the tungsten is highly deformed and the scandium-containing material is mixed with the tungsten so as ...

An underwear system comprises a reusable under-pant part (1) and an exchangeable absorber lining (7). The pants consist of a 3-layer laminate (3), which contains a membrane film (5) as an intermediate layer between two textile structures.

An electromagnetic actuator for operating a setting member includes an electromagnet composed of a yoke body and a magnet coil held by the yoke body; an armature adapted to be coupled to the setting member; and a resetting spring for exerting a spring force to the armature. The spring force opposes the magnetic force generated by the electromagnet when energized. The armature is guided in a recipr...

An electronic control apparatus for a vehicle includes first and second controllers between which the transmission of information is performed. A processor in the form of a microcomputer processes information transmitted from the first controller to the second controller and controls an actuator such as a brake actuator based on the information thus processed. An abnormality detecting circuit dete...

The invention concerns a method and an equipment in the forming of a lead-in strip (A) in a paper/board machine. In the method, two cutters (C1, C2) are used, of which at least one cutter (C2), which is brought into connection with the web from outside the web, is a liquid cutter, preferably a water cutter. In the method, by means of the first cutter (C1) a first cut (f1) is made, and by means of ...

A multiple sensing technology-based occupancy sensor. Ultrasonic and infrared sensors are used to produce first and second occupancy estimator signals that are combined using a fusion based detection algorithm to produce a combined estimator signal. The combined estimator is then used to switch electrical loads when the combined estimator signal is above a predetermined threshold. The result is an...

A method of producing a foamy slag in which the projected flame produced by burning fuel, for instance methane, within an oxidant is directed onto the slag so that the flame impinges on the slag, thereby to heat the foamy slag. Carbon containing particles are entrained in the flame so that the particles are heated by the flame and are projected into the slag to form and maintain a foamy slag. The ...

The items are delivered to the track (21) via a number of stations (22). Each has a discharge mechanism for the items to the track from a buffer-storage unit (23). The latter are in turn loaded via a mobile feed conveyor (25) from a main storage unit (26). The feed conveyor contains drive and transport mechanisms for the periodic loading of the buffer-storage units at a predetermined speed which i...
