CONSTITUTION:An integrated control device is provided with a controlling throttle opening setting means (j...

When a slip value of the driven wheel of a vehicle on a road surface reaches a predetermined value, the braking force is applied to the driven wheel by means of slip control. The slip control by application of the braking force to the driven wheel is inhibited when the vehicle speed reaches a high speed above a predetermined vehicle speed.

CONSTITUTION:A differential gear comprises the first side gear 17, second side gear 19, first pinion gear 29 formed with the first gear part 33 meshed with the first side gear 17 in one end and the second gear p...

A slip control system for a vehicle contains a first control unit for implementing feedback control of torque applied to the driven wheels so as to allow an actual slip value of the driven wheel to reach a predetermined target value. There are set a first judgment value larger than the target value and a second judgment value smaller than the first judgment value. A second control unit is provided...

The invention is directed to an arrangement for monitoring a road condition which determines the coefficient of friction of the road surface on the basis of a signal corresponding to an acceleration of a vehicle detected by an acceleration sensor. The signal is converted into one of at least two predetermined values by conversion means in response to a magnitude of the acceleration every cycle of ...

In a charged particle beam generating apparatus, the emitter (3, 21) is so arranged that its distal end is disposed at a level below a peak (17M, 46M) of a distributuion of a magnetic flux density (17, 46). An inner diameter of a lower portion (15B, 28A) of a pole piece (15, 27, 28) is smaller than an inner diameter of an upper portion of the pole piece (15, 27, 28). The peak (17M, 46M) of the mag...

A shade is disposed on the inner wall of an inductively coupled plasma chamber, covering a protected zone of the wall generally opposite to the inductive coil driving the chamber, preventing accumulation of material sputtered from a wafer in this zone, and thus restricting closed paths for eddy current flow along the chamber wall, improving inductive coupling of electrical power to the plasma in t...

The grinding machine has a drum (1) rotatable around a horizontal axis (2) and fitted on one side at the outlet of a filling funnel (3). The drum is movable by a primary drive element producing a continuous driving force. The cylindrical wall (11) of the drum is broken by regularly distributed openings (10) by which a tooth (50) can be pushed into or withdrawn from the surface of the drum. The too...

In the making of a lead storage battery, it is proposed to store all the sulphuric acid necessary to establish the final acid density of a working electrolyte as lead sulphate in the active mass of the plates and then to pour a water gel-forming mixture into the cell compartments.

A stabilising structure uses a number of electrode connections at both the top and bottom of the stack. Constructing the cell casing having a tubular shape rather than the typical deep drawn can shape, allows access to the lower portion of the stack. There, additional leads are welded to the cell case, which significantly adds to the stability of the stack within the case. The lower portion of the...

A chamber for rotation about a rotational axis to separate blood components includes first and second spaced apart side walls forming a separation zone. Blood conveyed into the separation zone separates into a first region of cellular components (96), a second region of plasma (98), and an interface region (58) between the first and second regions.
