PURPOSE:To enhance the running ability in low and middle speed ranges, and the steering stability and rectilinearly advancing stability in a high speed range by a vehicle speed responsive type mechanism adapted to open and close in accordance with a rotational speed, in a fluid passage communicating between a plurality of fluid chambers and an accumulator chamber. CONSTITUTION:In a differential ge...

PURPOSE:To inhibit the generation of slip at a turning time by determining th output of an engine according to the slip quantity enumerated by means of a slip quantity enumerating means for the wheel speed of driving wheels and driven wheels. CONSTITUTION:A traction controller 15 detects the driving wheel speed and the driven wheel speed by means of sensors 11-14, enumerates the slip quantity corr...

PURPOSE:To permit shift brake engaging pressure to be set to a desired value, by supplying the desired servo hydraulic pressure to a shift brake hydraulic pressure chamber which is different each other in hill hold control and in speed shift control. CONSTITUTION:A port 172 of a check valve 170 is connected to a second course modulator valve 160, a second-third speed shift valve 140 and a manual s...

An electrochemical storage device comprises an electrolyte which forms an ignitable gas under certain conditions during use. The electrochemical storage device is constituted by a tank and a lid which is joined in a liquid-tight manner thereto and in which the terminal pillars are brought out at the top. Furthermore, it has a labyrinth-type pressure equalization connection built into the lid to co...

PURPOSE:To make absorb the moisture in positive and negative plates and a separator to prevent the generation of a lower oxide by placing an inorganic carbonate such as Na2CO3 between the supports, located under a plate group, of a container. CONSTITUTION:An inorganic carbonate is placed between the supports, located under a plate group, of a container. For example, a bag in which tablets, particl...

A thermosetting elastomeric component 1 and a thermoplastics component 3, such as a seal and a carrier eg. for use in making a sealed pipe joint, are separately formed, assembled as required and then secured together, before use, by application of heat to the thermoplastics component to melt and bond a surface portion of that component to an adjacent surface portion of the other component. Prefera...

A control system allows a conventional cathodic protection system to be used in differing electrolytic or other conditions by using active sacrificial anodes to carry a variable impressed current. Active sacrificial Anodes 3 are normally connected to vessel or Structure 1 which is immersed in Electrolyte 2 and when necessary additional current is impressed on the circuit e.g. by Switch 4 Power Sou...

A rugby ball (1) is adapted for "passing" practice by providing a ring (21) extending through aperture (20) in the casing and an elasticated cord having two runs (23, 24) looped through swivel (22) connected with the ring (21). The free ends of cords (23, 24) terminate in wrist cuffs (30). Ring (21) lies, in part, trapped between the ball bladder and casing with interposed reinforcement being prov...

A yarn-working machine, especially an embroidery machine, is equipped with a yarn-joining device (11) which has a swirl chamber (12) having a compressed-air nozzle (13), in which two yarns (23, 24) of different colour which are used in succession are joined to one another as a result of the swirling of their filaments by means of compressed air. They are subsequently drawn out by the needle (7). ...

A shifting control apparatus for an automatic transmission includes a throttle valve part (52), a traction control part (53) for carrying out a traction control process for adjusting the throttle valve part to reach a first throttle position value when the vehicle is operating under prescribed operating conditions, a throttle position setting part (56) fot setting a mean throttle position value by...

Hydrocarbon polymers with grafts of polyethers, polylactones, or polyesters from the reaction of phosgene with glycols having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms are disclosed as having good release properties or low adhesion to hydrocarbon rubber materials. The hydrocarbon backbone polymers include EPDM, hydrogenated polybutadiene, and hydrogenated poly(styrene-butadiene) all said polymers having pendant su...
