PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to recover as electric energy the energy which has been used as a pumping loss by reducing the braking torque caused by an engine brake of an internal combustion engine in the fuel supply stopped condition according to the magnitude of the regenerative braking torque by an electric motor. SOLUTION: When a vehicle is accelerated, an electronic control unit ...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a breaker from working on an external power system by outputting a cut-off signal to the breaker of a steam turbine generator when a reverse power flow judging device receives the output of a reverse power flow detecting means of each gas turbine generator and it judges two or more detecting means detect the reverse power flow. SOLUTION: A reverse power flow judgin...

The outlet, for a mould chamber with a wall (2) made from one or more materials and having a moulding surface (20), comprises an aperture (3) which passes through the wall from the moulding surface, allowing the mould chamber to connect with the outside atmosphere. The aperture is closed by an insert (1) which is shaped so that it completely seals the aperture when fitted into place and lies flush...

An apparatus for holding hair styling tools and appliances from a vertical support surface. The apparatus comprises, generally, a releasable base used to attach the apparatus to a wall or other vertical surface, a magnetized arm extending from the base and being frictionally attached for restrained movement about a vertical axis and a bracket extending from the magnetized arm for holding non-magne...

A female terminal metal fixture which can prevent a resilient contact tongue from being deflected over a wide range. A box-like body is provided on its right and left side walls with an inwardly bulged restrictive portion formed by a bulging process. Each restrictive portion extends longitudinally below a resilient contact tongue from the distal end of the tongue to the front end of the contact. W...

A pneumatic in-line skating wheel having a tire body and central hub chemically bonded during a polyurethane casting process and further including an annularly encapsulated air bladder centrally spaced within the tire body to provide shock absorption and inflation/deflation means such that the overall tire resiliency may be adjusted, enabling adjustable performance characteristics of the wheel.
