The invention relates to the power engineering field, in particular to the wind plants for electric power production. The plant consists of an aerosol charged generator, including a liquid atomizer and an electrocharging system, of a collector and a load connection scheme. The aerosol charged generator is placed onto an isolating support, and in the capacity of collector is used the earth. Claims:...

The mounting of the rectangular bearing housings between the guide slots formed on the frame restricts any movement of the roller cylinders to a single direction in the event of jamming and the mounting arrangement provides a simple method of adding replacem shims to compensate for wear. The arrangement reduces the risk of damage by permitting deformation or failure of a calibrated sc in the event...

PURPOSE:To realize shift shock suppressing control corresponding to the variation of the friction coefficient, and to obtain an adequate shift feeling, by correcting the torque converting amount in the speed change time larger than a standard value, when the familiarity between the fastening materials of friction fastening elements is not sufficient, and the friction coefficient is small less than...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a controller for a lock-up clutch which eliminates difference of deceleration feeling in output direction. SOLUTION: A controller prohibits slippage control of a lock-up clutch upon being directed to output, and allows it upon being not directed to output. The controller has a downhill control determination means which determines engine brake controlling accompanie...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a slip control device of a lock up clutch for a vehicle whereby fluctuation of a turbine rotational speed caused by a bad road in a prescribed gear shift can be decided even in the vehicle without providing an output shaft rotation sensor in an automatic transmission. SOLUTION: In the case of estimating rotational speed fluctuation of a input shaft of an automatic ...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent braking distance from becoming long against the driver's will, during braking in a state that slipping of drive wheels involved in braking cannot be detected. SOLUTION: Drive wheels 12 are braked by the regenerative braking of a drive motor 26, based on the switchback operation on an acceleration lever 22, and further slipping velocity &Delta VD for detecting slipp...

The invention refers to a tampon, in particular for feminine hygiene or medical purposes, comprising at least one piece of uncompressed or partially compressed absorbent material, wherein said tampon is flexible and substantially flat or sheet-like at least in its center part and is drapeable around a finger using the stiffness of the finger to aid insertion.

An x-ray computed tomography system uses a broad area x-ray emitter and detector to allow both in plane and out of plane x-ray projections not restrained to spiral or helical scans.

A process is disclosed for preparing an open-celled rigid polyurethane foam by reacting an organic polyisocyanate with a polyol in the presence of a blowing agent, a cell opening agent and exfoliating graphite, wherein the thermal conductivity of the foam is from 28 to 35 mw/mk. Such foams are applicable in the construction industry where it is desired to have a foam having flame retardation prope...

The present invention is polyurethane dispersion composition that can be mechanically frothed to yield a foam that has good resiliency. Frothed foams of the present invention can be useful in cushioned flooring applications such as attached cushion broadloom, carpet tiles, carpet underlay, or vinyl flooring. Frothed foams of the present invention can also be useful as coatings for various textiles...

The present invention is directed to a transfer device for fluid communication between a first site and a second site comprising a housing, a fluid channel and typically a sleeve assembly. The housing has a first end being connectable to the first site, a second end being connectable to the second site and a longitudinal portion extending between the first and second ends and defining a longitudin...

Output overvoltage protection circuitry for circuits operating at low voltages (e.g., 3v) interfacing to a higher voltage operating circuit (e.g., 5v bus). To prevent problems with a pull-up PMOS device at the output when the bus is pulled-up to the higher voltage, a voltage node is provided in the circuit which follows the output voltage or the low supply voltage, whichever is higher, and means a...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a liquid crystal display device which has a wide field angle and is free from persistence. SOLUTION: In the liquid crystal display device where the direction of inclination of liquid crystal molecules 31 is designated by an electric field in an oblique direction at the edge of a picture element electrode 19 and that of an orientation control window 24, a phase plate...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent concentrated stress from being actuated in the upper end fitting parts of leg pillars by supporting a furniture main body by means of the leg pillars so as to form a gap between a bottom surface and a floor surface, forming a continuous wall reaching almost the floor surface at sides being more inner than the leg pillars on the bottom surface and holding an interme...

In a quick connector for piping 10 for detachably connecting a male member 12 to a female member 11, an O-ring 15 is interposed between the female member 11 and the male member 12 so as to form a seal therebetween, and the O-ring 15 is subjected to a low-friction treatment so that the O-ring can be moved in a direction of an axis of the quick connector 10 by a pressure of an employed fluid.
