A synchronous rotating apparatus synchronously rotates a plurality of rotary shafts (200,202) independently driven by corresponding driving devices (30,32). The apparatus includes a mechanical regulating member (500,502), arranged on the shafts, for maintaining relative rotating positions of the shafts in a predetermined angular difference, a rotation velocity and phase-detecting member (401,402,4...

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling a car equipped with an automatic transmission having a lockup clutch. According to the control method of the present invention, when the lockup clutch is in the lockup state, a variation of a generated torque is detected. When the range of the torque variation detected exceeds a predetermined value, an engine torque is redu...

An obtd. paste is filled into an active material supporter. The weight of minium in the lead oxide (1) is specified to lie between 10% and 50% of the total weight of the lead powder. The lead powder can contain both a lead oxide (1) having a minium content of up to 90% and a lead oxide having a minium content of over 90%, and the amount of minium in the former is more than 80% of the total amount ...

A diamond composite combined with a cobalt-containing substrate, comprising: a sintered mass of diamond, in which practically all the diamond particles are joined immediately with adjacent particles, a mass of cobalt-containing carbide, said latter mass being larger than the former and said first and latter masses being of a same cross section at the opposed ends, and an intermediate layer of a so...

In a textile machine (1) with a plurality of work stations, bobbins of identical yarn length are to be produced. After the completion of the winding travel, the yarns (8) are guided simultaneously into the interception region of a suction device (27) and are cut there simultaneously by a cutting device (34). The winding devices (2) are operated at crawling speed. After the bobbin change, the yarns...

An aqueous coating composition is prepared from (optionally waste) polyethylene terephthalate. The polyethylene terephthalate is first reacted with an alcohol and then with carboxylic acids or their anhydrides to form a low-molecular-weight polyester with an acid value greater than 30, which is then neutralized with a weak base and added to water. Preferably ethylenically unsaturated monomers are ...

A non-aqueous coating composition is prepared from (optionally waste) polyethylene terephthalate. The polyethylene terephthalate is first reacted with an alcohol and then with carboxylic acids or their anhydrides to form a low-molecular-weight polyester with an acid value 1 then about 15. Preferably ethylenically unsaturated monomers are subsequently polymerized in the presence of this polyester.
