An apparatus and method for cold working metal powder to produce a metal powder highly suited for consolidation wherein the apparatus comprises a cold rolling mill including a pair of driven rolls mounted within a sealed work chamber for receiving and deforming a closely metered amount of powder. The work chamber is continuously purged with an inert atmosphere to protect the powder from gaseous co...

PURPOSE:To improve drivability by converting a speed change pattern into the original pattern when an engine load is lower by a specified value than the maximum engine load detected and selectively stored amount various speed patterns for high speed running. CONSTITUTION:The power of an engine 1 is transmitted to wheels 5 through a torque converter 2, an automatic transmission 3 and a differential...

PURPOSE:To control a speed change pattern at will of a driver by converting the pattern when a variation speed of an engine load in comparison with a reference which is fixed high in a slow speed running range and low in a high speed running range. CONSTITUTION:The power of an engine 1 is transmitted to wheels 5 through a torque converter 2, an automatic transmission 3 and a differential 4. The ro...

PURPOSE:To operate a throttle valve accurately by movably assembling a lever member to a base plate member to vary the distance between the guide surface and the supporting point of turning. CONSTITUTION:An operation lever 10a comprises a base plate member 10a1 assembled on control lever 21 side and a lever member 10a2 having a guide surface 15a, to which a throttle cable 10b is connected, herein ...

PURPOSE:To reduce the oil path resistance by deeply notching a portion of recess at the base of tubular section thereby increasing the path area at this portion. CONSTITUTION:An oil path P2 is formed with a recess 41d made in the innercircumference of tubular section 41c extending axially from the innercircumferential section of upstanding wall 41a of support 41 and a sleeve 42 fitted tightly to t...

A fire alarm system of the present invention is adapted to compute an approximation equation based on the detection data from a detector or detectors such about a smoke density, a temperature, a gas concentration, etc. and predictively determine a fire based on the approximation equation. The system including computing section for computing an approximation equation approximating a change in the p...

A safety ski binding mounted on a member movable with respect to the ski but fixedly secured thereto. A release of the ski boot from engagement with the ski binding is initiated by forces applied to the heel holder. The heel holder is movable about both a vertical axis and a horizontal axis so that it is responsive to not only vertical and horizontal applied forces by the ski boot but also diagona...

A body of a butchered animal suspended at its hind legs by suspension conveying means is conveyed by means of a conveying table to a station for splitting the body into two halves along the spine, where the body and the conveying table become stationary and the body is turned through 90 degrees in a splitting position between body supporting means and pusher means which is indexed with the conveyi...

In the tyre-building apparatus, the tyre tread rubber is transferred to the tyre-building drum from a fixed support, advancing in the same direction as the drum rotation. In order to ensure that the tyre camelback tread rubber is properly laid in place, even when tread rubbers which vary from one another in their dimensions have to be used, the invention provides for the diameter of the tyre-build...

A transporting and sampling mechanism is described. The transporting mechanism feeds a sensitive substrate or tape intermittently past a sampling head. A spring-pretensioned advancing finger is controlled by means of a solenoid so as optionally to come into engagement with the tape (26). The finger is arranged on a reciprocating arrangement (38), by means of which the gripped tape (26) can be gent...

An uncured polyurethane coating formed by applying polyurethane paint containing isocyanate prepolymer on a substrate is cured by a method which comprises applying a catalyst (cure accelerator) on the uncured polyurethane coating and subsequently exposing the polyurethane coating to a heating atmosphere of 60 DEG to 100 DEG C. By this method, the reaction of urethanation explosively proceeds and...

Porous PTFE materials having high strength and coarse microstructure are produced by densifying the materials after removal of lubricant and then stretching. The term, "coarse", is used to indicate that the nodes are larger, the fibrils are longer, and the effective pore size is larger than conventional materials of the same matrix tensile strength. Densification can be achieved through the use of...

PURPOSE:To obtain a structure that the construction is simple, the action is reliable and the assembly is easy in a auto-slack adjuster for adjusting the widening a gap between a lining and a brake drum at the time of wear on the brake lining.
