In a vehicular drive assist system for warning a driver to pay attention to a preceding vehicle running ahead when a vehicle comes close to the preceding vehicle and the distance between these two vehicles becomes smaller than a safe inter-vehicle distance, this safe inter-vehicle distance is automatically established in two stages according to traffic conditions. One stage is where road is empty ...

In a turret winder, for traverse-winding cops from continuously- delivered yarn, each cop 28 is supported adjacent a threaded region 38 or 40 which draws yarn, extending to a wound package when indexed to the unloading station, towards the empty cop 28.

An apparatus to control a car has a car stability device which, when there is a reduction in travel stability of the car below a certain threshold, is operated to control at least one parameter comprising a brake force exerted on the car and a power tapped off from the engine. The apparatus also has a device to effect a learning compensation of at least one parameter which is assigned to a hydraul...
