The paraffining device on a textile machine with a fixed paraffin piece is provided with a covering which prevents small paraffin particles which may be produced by rubbing of the yarn, for example, from leaving the area of the paraffining device and thus preventing interference with the spinning or winding process.

A period time required for a gear shift operation is measured from the time (T2) at which a prime motor (1) output speed (NE) starts decreasing to the (T3) time at which a psuedo speed ratio ( epsilon ) reaches a predetermined value. Based on the period of time measured, a line pressure is controlled during the period of time. Alternatively, a prime motor output torque is controlled during the per...

This invention relates to a self-cleaning water filter which self washes in a counter-current of water operating by means of a turbine which rotates both a set of nozzles through which centrifuged jets of water flow and a set of brushes which scrape the external face of the filtering surface.

When a slip value of the driven wheel (1RR, 1RL) on a road surface reaches a predetermined value, the slip control is implemented to apply a braking force to the driven wheel (1RR, 1RL) as well as to decrease torque to be generated by the engine (2). When the brake is operated manually, or when a foot brake is stepped down, only the slip control by application of the braking force to the driven wh...

In a medical examination or therapy device, the aim is to ensure an exact recording of the respiratory activity of the patient, in particular a recording of the tidal volume. The patient breathes through a spirometer (8), which has a measurement transformer (10, 11) for the measurement of volumes and a transmitter for generating trigger signals. In addition, a closure element (14) for the air...

A household slicing machine wherein a rotary disc-shaped knife is mounted in a housing in a vertical plane to slice foodstuffs which abut against the front side of a stop. The front side of the stop is located in a second vertical plane which is parallel to the plane of the knife and the machine has an adjusting device which can move the stop relative to the knife so as to shift the plane of the f...

In a method for the automatic laying of an endless rubberised textile fabric band (1) onto a tyre building drum (5), the textile fabric band (1) is fed via a guide path (3) to a laying device (4) and subsequently to the tyre building drum (5). Then, the textile fabric band (1) is guided in the laying device (4) by an adjusting means (42), which has a carriage (424) which is driven by a servo motor...
