The invention relates to a process for starting a vehicle with repeated forward-reverse run, in course of which in the drive-chain of the vehicle an automatic transmission /2/ is driven with an internal combustion motor /1/ through the incorporated hydrodynamic torque converter /16/ or in a given case with a dry friction clutch /15/ shortcircuiting it, either directly with the automatic transmissi...

PURPOSE:To pressurize a power generating element with a battery pressurizing plate through utilization of heat emission during charging by forming the pressurizing plate from a bimetal structural member, in which the substance constituting the layer on the battery body side has a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than the substances constituting the outermore layers. CONSTITUTION:A battery ...

Apparatus for detecting an automatic guided vehicle's longitudinal position and to enable positioning of the vehicle at a load pickup/delivery terminal or other place. In one arrangement a mat having a passive short-circuited loop of wire embedded in it is positioned on the floor. On the vehicle an oscillator and a transmitting antenna provide a primary magnetic field that excites the loop in the ...
