A control system wherein there are determined a first and a second target value in terms of engine horse power. The first target value is a function of depression degree of accelerator, while the second target value is a function of engine speed. The first target value is generated as an output signal when a deviation in engine speed is smaller, while the second target value is generated as the ou...

In an automatic winder comprising plural winding units, a preset yarn quantity per lot and a residual quantity of yarn to be taken up are grasped upon generation of a full-loaded signal, then the number of operating winding units is decreased gradually, allowing operation of only winding unit or units of a number corresponding to the residual quantity of yarn to be taken up.

Slow-running drives require a gear unit with a large reduction. Due to the inertia of this driving and gearing arrangement, driving without afterrunning is impossible. In order to provide a slow-running drive which is free from afterrunning and to provide a method for operating it, at least two coaxially aligned gearwheels (1, 5) in engagement with one another are provided, one of them being of fl...

In an apparatus for the production of bobbins which serve as feed bobbins for twisting and which contain two threads wound in a folded position, provision is made for monitoring the threads for a thread break and, if a thread break occurs, for severing them at a common point before they run onto the bobbin and for connecting them to one another.

To join two yarn ends of textile staple yarns, at the present time it is customary to splice with compressed air in a yarn-splicing device. For this, the yarn ends are inserted into a yarn-splicing channel which is made in a yarn-splicing head. It has been shown that the surface of the splicing channel has an appreciable influence on the splicing result. To make it possible, with splicing channels...

A flexible light guide (14) is proposed for a laser tool (11), which is configured to transfer laser light from a laser generator (12) to a laser tool (11), this light guide (14) being constructed in the form of a flexible tube for supplying inert gas or oxygen to a treatment point of the laser tool. In this way it is possible, by means of a light guide of simple construction, to transfer also oxy...

Of the several illustrations, Figure 6 is self-explanatory: A new tyre (12) rotated by rollers applied to its outer periphery, has compression rollers (32) applied to its sides with a force sufficient to compress the rotating tyre as shown. - This procedure lasting a few minutes only, ensures that the new tyre embeds itself adequately into its wheel frame. After that, the wheel is balanced; no rep...

A centrifugal processing system for cultured cellular suspensions comprises a reservoir (66) for pooling a desired volume of the cellular suspension from a plurality of individual containers (60) in which the cellular suspension have been cultured. A centrifugation chamber (36) is provided operative in response to centrifugal force for separating the cellular suspension into a cellular component a...

A method of treating a rubber expandable tire cure bladder by forming a base release coat thereon followed by application of a lubricant topcoat. The base release coat is derived by applying a composite of an hydroxyl terminated polyorganosiloxane and an aminoorganosilane to an expanded bladder and thereafter applying a lubricant topcoat derived from selected polyorganosiloxane components. The inv...
