A slip of the driven wheels is converged by causing the torque generated by the engine to be reduced and applying braking force when a slip of the driven wheel becomes large during accelerating. Control of the application of the braking force to the left-hand and right-hand driven wheels is made individually and separately from each other. When such an incident occurs as causing no normal control ...

The invention relates to a method for connecting metal objects by welding, at least one of which objects is provided on at least one side with an enamel coating, wherein metal objects are placed in a welding position and are heated with a welding source such that the metal parts melt and the melted metal parts form a metallic weld connection, and wherein preferably both metal objects are provided ...

A guillotine type cutting machine wherein the length of cuts to be made in stacks of sheets determines the force with which a hold-down device bears upon a stack in the course of the cutting operation to prevent stray movements of the sheets. The force varies as a function of the length of the contemplated cuts and is regulated in such a way that the pressure of the hold-down device per unit area ...

A segmental drum (10) has spaced-apart inflatable turnup bladders (24) for folding each edge (28) of a belt (30) applied to the drum (10). The spacing of the bladders (24) is adjustable by axial movement in opposite directions of central hub assemblies (42,44) threaded on screws (76). Fine adjustment of the spacing to straighten the fold line (32) of each bladder (24) is provided by axial adjustme...

A hydraulic pressure control valve includes a modulator-controlled solenoid assembly which selectively axially displaces a disc armature adjacent thereto. When not attracted by the solenoid, the armature is biased away from the solenoid by a wave spring. Movement of the armature opens and closes the outlet of a lower body member to a source of hydraulic fluid under pressure. The armature is improv...

A control system for an engine with an automatic transmission, including an output reducing system for reducing an output of the engine by a predetermined quantity in a speed change operation of the automatic transmission, so as to suppress a speed change shock generated in the speed change operation; and an output reduction control system for controlling a start timing of operation of the output ...

To monitor the action in waxing a thread, where it passes over a body of paraffin or wax or a mixt., a proximity sensor registers the min. size of the body which decreases as material is taken off by friction contact with the thread. An electrical switch system is activated by the sensor signals to stop the winder and trigger a warning signal. An electronic proximity sensor (22,32) at the waxing s...
