In a system for controlling a clutch for vehicle having an automatic gear-transmission control system, the clutch is controlled so as to be disengaged when a gear of the transmission is in a prescribed low-speed gear position at which strong engine braking power can be expected and fuel-powered operation of an engine for powering the vehicle has stopped during the running of the vehicle, whereby i...

A rigid foam, especially a largely closed-cell polyurethane or polyisocyanurate rigid foam, includes a cell structure being formed by the expansion of rigid foam raw materials with carbon dioxide as an inflating agent. The cell structure is substantially homogeneous and has a cell content of substantially CO2 inflating agent and proportions of a physical inflating agent being at least substantiall...

24 A hydrocyclone establishes a first vortex of fluent material at one end (e.g. in a top portion), and a second vortex at the other end (e.g. in a bottom portion). The first vortex is established within a porous surface of revolution to which gas or other fluid is supplied, passing through the porous surface into the first vortex. The second vortex is established by a conical end section exten...

A method of making an apexed bead for a tire comprises the steps of providing a supply of rubber and a supply of bead wire. The rubber is extruded around at least one bead wire. An apex least projects from the rubber extruded around the bead wire to form a bead ribbon. The apes leaf extends in a direction laterally from the extent of the bead wire and is located between a pair of planes which are ...

2090489 9203241 PCTABS00010 To repair or join sections of a metal article, matching metal powder is sintered in the solid state to form a porous structure in the joint. A layer of matching powder, modified to incorporate melting point depressants such as boron and silicon is subsequently added to the surface of the sintered region. The joint is processed at a temperature where the modified layer m...

2071477 9203493 PCTABS00011 A high purety aromatic polyester consisting essentially of repeating interpolymerized units derived from 1,1-bis(4hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenylethane and 9,9-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene and isophthalic acid choride and/or terephthalic acid chloride, which polyster contains less than 4 % by weight of low molecular weight species of a molecular weight less than 8000 and forms ...

A studless pneumatic tire is disclosed which comprises a tread compound formed from a cellular rubber and short fibers of a specified average length and a specified average diameter distributed and specifically oriented within the cellular rubber which has a selected set of physical properties. The tire exhibits enhanced all-weather driving performance.

A studless pneumatic tire has a tread formed from a cellular rubber and polyamide short fibers distributed therein. The polyamide fibers are treated with a silane coupling agent and have selected average diameter and length. The celluare rubber has various physical properties which contribute in combination with the short fibers to enhanced tire performance on icy/snowy as well as dry/wet roadway.

2083950 9204405 PCTABS00011 What is described herein is a process for making ethanol solutions of alkyl half-esters of copolymers of maleic anhydride and a C1-C4 alkyl vinyl ether which are benzene and acetone-free. The invention is characterized by (a) precharging a reactor with excess C1-C4 alkyl vinyl ether as both monomer reactant and solvent, and a free radical polymerization intiator, at a r...

ENGRANAJE DIFERENCIAL CON AUTOFRENADO, EN EL QUE DOS PIÑONES PLANETARIOS CON UN DENTADO PERIFERICO ESTAN RETENIDOS COAXIALMENTE EN UNA CESTA DIFERENCIAL, Y EN EL QUE UN PRIMER GRUPO DE LOS SATELITES CONCENTRICOS ENGRANA CON UNO DE LOS DOS PIÑONES PLANETARIOS, Y UN SEGUNDO GRUPO DE LOS SATELITES ENGRANA CON EL OTRO DE LOS DOS PIÑONES PLANETARIOS, Y SATELITES DE LOS DOS GRUPOS ENGRANAN ENTRE SI AL M...

The present invention relates to a device and method for minimizing initial surface reflections which can be reflected from the surroundings via the reflecting surface (10) of an electronic display screen (1) in the direction towards a given observation position (4), whereby the display screen (1) is arranged on a base (2), preferably mounted on the dashboard (2) of a vehicle, whereby at least a c...

An improvement to the ligase chain reaction (LCR) method of selectively and geometrically ligating nucleic acid probes; before the LCR, a template-dependent controlled reaction increases the population of templates capable of supporting template-dependent ligation in LCR selectively in the presence of target nucleic acid, while substantially avoiding creation of any molecules capable of supporting...

A process for the removal of aromatic compounds from aqueous solutions using an oxidatic enzyme, such as a peroxidase enzyme, is described. The enzyme is immobilized on a surface so that preferably multiple passes of the aqueous solution with the aromatic compound can be made over the immobilized enzyme. Higher enzyme utilization with a lower oxidative substrate, such as hydrogen peroxide, require...
