CONSTITUTION:An adhesive of solvent type M curable at ordinary temp. is applied on the upper side of a step-like por...

PURPOSE:To speedily return a forward clutch by controlling the degree of reduction of the oil pressure supplied into the forward clutch so that the number of revolution of a torque converter does not lower below a prescribed value in anticreep control. CONSTITUTION:In anticreep control, each number of revolution of the input shaft and output shaft of a torque converter is detected by sensors 74 an...

PURPOSE:To speedily return a forward clutch by controlling the degree of reduction of the oil pressure supplied into the forward clutch so that the difference of the number of revolution of the input and output shafts of a torque converter is held below a prescribd value in anticreep control. CONSTITUTION:In anticreep control, each number of revolution of the input shaft and output shaft of a torq...

PURPOSE:To obtain a lead-acid battery having good high rate discharge performance by containing 0.5-3.0wt% of graphite in active material of clad type cathode plate. CONSTITUTION:In a lead-acid battery, 0.5-3.0wt% of graphite is contained in active material of clad type cathode plate in which a tube made of resin film having a means pore size of 2mum or less is used. When mean pore size exceeds 2m...
