PURPOSE:To enable the mountability of an automatic transmission into an engine compartment to be enhanced, by disposing, onto the side wall of a parking gear, a hydraulic servo for a multiple-disc clutch positioned between a multiple- disc brake and an output gear so that the axial dimension of a second shaft may be shortened. CONSTITUTION:A second planetary gear transmission mechanism 500 between...

An apparatus and method for supplying electrode plates in the assembly of battery cell elements. The apparatus includes a shuttle feed device for containing a plurality of stacks of electrode plates of common polarity and successively dispensing a single plate from each stack, a walking beam transfer device for successively receiving plates from said shuttle device and moving the plates into a row...

Improvements to procedures for the splicing of yarns (20-21), whether textile or not, the splice being obtained by coupling two single untwisted yarns (20-21) and re-imparting the twists thereafter, in which improvements a part of the single yarns is untwisted until twists of a sign opposite to the original sign have been imparted, and such part is then coupled and small tails (220-221) are obtain...

Composition and method for improving the thermoplastic processing characteristics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) in amphorous form are disclosed, as well as PET with improved melt strength.

In a method for identifying one or more botanical component parts from plants, a sample of the component parts is irradiated with electromagnetic radiation within the visible and/or ultra-violet and/or X-ray range for excitation of the component parts to fluorescence which is analyzed for determining characteristic fluorescence from the component parts. For determining the relative contents of the...

A safety ski binding includes a cross-country plate having a front jaw and heel holder thereon and pivotal about an axis extending transversely of the ski. Two W-shaped bar parts of different lengths are pivotally supported thereon and movable to positions between the plate and ski. Each bar part includes two spaced outer legs, two spaced inner legs therebetween, two support webs connecting adjace...

In a system for recovering data, both prerecorded (e.g. servo track) and user data, from a reflective optical data storage medium, with the further capability of distinguishing data from foreign particulate matter on a data disk 65, a pair of detectors 71, 77 measures the fraction of light 73 (e.g. infrared laser light) reflected from and the fraction of light 75 transmitted through the data disk ...

An electricity billing recorder has a controller for processing pulses from an electric meter. The resulting data is temporarily stored in random access memory as data words representative of energy consumed in predetermined time ("demand") intervals. The accumulated measurement ("event") data and time data are transferred to a non-volatile, solid state memory module after relatively long collecti...

In an ink jet serial printer, a drop collector has horizontal and vertical collector sections or gutters. Unused drops are diverted in the direction of motion during uniform velocity of the ink jet head into the vertical section and into the horizontal section during acceleration/deceleration portions of head motion. A bias potential applied to the vertical drop deflector is removed during acceler...
