PURPOSE:To make an engine-torque changing control proper one suited to a traveling condition by carrying out the start of the change of engine torque by monitoring various sensors while making a backup control by means of a timer when said sensors are out of order. CONSTITUTION:Normally, the accomplishment of an engine-torque change starting condition is detected by the detecting means of a sensor...

PURPOSE:To stably maintain the idle revolution speed by correction-controlling the output control factors for an engine, when the variation quantity DELTAQ/N of the inhaled air quantity for the engine revolution speed exceeds a prescribed value after a shift lever is shifted to a driving range. CONSTITUTION:In an electronic control circuit 44, when an engine 20 is in operation, it is judged from t...

PURPOSE:To enable the highly sensitive detection of malfunction in that supply of fuel and the like is reduced to such condition is impossible when the as the treading force on an accelerator pedal has exceeded the detecting level, by prohibiting the above operation at the time of shift-up. CONSTITUTION:When a car is running, whether or not the pressure switch 2 provided on the stopper part of an ...

A process is disclosed for manufacturing a high strength composite structure by needling individual webs of initially spunbonded material and then needle-punching a stack of the individual webs to enmesh and entangle filaments across the webs, with little or no loss of the initial filament-related strength.

An adhesive sheet material for use on the skin comprises a backing layer which has upon at least a portion of one surface a pressure sensitive adhesive layer. A removable release liner covers the adhesive layer and a support layer is attached to the backing layer on the surface remote from the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The stripping load required to separate the release liner from the adh...

The invention relates to a method for preparing a catalyst for water-gas and hydroformulating reactions, which catalyst includes as active components a ruthenic carbonyl and a heterocyclic base on a solid carrier. The catalyst is formed by means of one or more successive reactions, in which the ruthenic carbonyl is fixed from a gas phase to said carrier and the heterocyclic base is fixed to the ca...

A porous body (6) is introduced in a housing (2), having a lid (3), and a yarn (8) for the application of a medium is passed through the said porous body. The medium is fed to the preparator (1) through a pressure line (5). In order to introduce the yarn (8) the lid (3) of the housing (2) can be opened and the yarn (8) introduced through a slot in the body (6), which is facilitated by open yarn gu...

An apparatus for positioning the spool in the valve body and setting the armature air gap with respect to the core assembly of a compound, spool type valve driven electro-mechanically by a pair of face type opposing solenoids.

A continuously variable transmission comprises a V-belt tensioned between a driver pulley and a follower pulley. Hydraulic fluid pressure that determines a gripping force which the driver pulley grips the V-belt with is reduced upon detecting a demand for engine brake running of a motor vehicle, whereby a good engine brake feel is assured during transient period to the engine brake running.

Disclosed is a solenoid having a central and a peripheral air gap between the armature and the pole piece. The energization coil is located in the space between the central core and the peripheral portions of the pole piece and armature. In one embodiment, an output shaft is received in an aperture in the central core of the pole piece and connected to the armature. In preferred embodiments, a lon...

The X-ray film cassette (8) can be transported from the side of the emitter carrier (5) facing away from the X-ray emitter (4) into a photograph readiness position (AP) lying opposite the emitter (4). The region of the emitter carrier (5) adjacent to the film plane (FE) is forked. An X-ray film cassette (8) is selectively inserted through a charge opening (18) arranged on the side of the emitter c...

The electromagnet has a spring loaded armature (6) with a piston (5) and a core (4) around the piston (5) fixed inside a frame (1). A spool body (2) and coil (3) are arranged around the armature (6) and core (4). After the coil (3) is excited, the armature (6) partly dipped in the core (4) reaches the system against the force of a return spring (7) around the piston (5). It is held at a given dist...

The device has a coil body (10) with a flange (10a) at one end. A wire (13) is wound around the coil body (10). A pair of connector terminals (11,12) are attached to the flange (10a) and are connected to both ends (13a,b) of the wire (13). The device also has a wire section for reducing the stress concentration at the ends (13a,b) of the wire (13) during contraction or expansion of the coil body (...

The automatic braking system responds when the distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in front is less than a safe value based upon the relative speeds and absolute speed. The vehicle has a radar system (10) for distance measurement, an acceleration sensor (8), speed sensor (6), steering angle sensor (7) and a sensor (9) that measures the friction coefficient of the road surface. The sensed ...
