PURPOSE:To make it possible to obtain optimum turning an running performances in all running conditions, by determining the allocations of torque to right and left rear wheels in accordance with steering force, a function of vehicle speed and rear side input torque when a lateral force is produced at a front wheel, which is exhibited as a steering force in a front wheel steering system. CONSTITUTI...

Fibrous polyolefin nonwoven sheets are bonded and stretched in a continuous, multiple stage process. First, the sheet is heated without significant stretching to a temperature that is close to, but below, the melting temperature of the polyolefin. Then, as the sheet is forwarded to a first stretching stage, the sheet temperature is decreased by 5 DEG to 40 DEG C. and thereafter the sheet is alte...

PURPOSE:To prevent two stage shocks of the stoppage of fuel and braking which are generated on a vehicle by setting the time from when the operating condition of a braking device is detected to when the feed of fuel is stopped, to the time at which braking is actually applied. CONSTITUTION:In a control unit 44, an engine is judged decelerating when an idling switch 28 is operated. And, when the en...

PURPOSE:To obtain an objective heat-up temperature at an objective heat-up hour by a method wherein a heating capacity, operated from a temperature difference between the outlet port and the inlet port of a water heater and a specified flow amount of circulating water, is applied with a change, based on the increase of the average water amount of a hot-water reserving tank from an arbitrary given ...

A splicing apparatus for spun yarns includes a splicing member having a cylindrical splicing hole formed to pierce through the splicing member, a V-groove, a slit extended from the lower end of the V-groove to the upper portion of the splicing hole and a jet nozzle opened in the splicing hole. Control plates for covering the opening of the splicing hole partially is arranged to be adjustable on bo...

A method of making coreless hollow filament bundles comprises winding a hollow filament 20 around a drum 22 having a number of axially extending vanes 24. The winding is formed in layers, each layer being a helix and adjacent layers being wound in opposite directions axially of the drum so that all the turns of the helix forming one layer cross all the turns of the helices forming the adjacent lay...

An automatic splicer for spun yarn, including open end spun yarn. Opposite yarn ends for splicing are inserted in opposed yarn clamping devices, adjacent yarn loop pulling devices, in a splicing slot of a splicing chamber, adjacent mechanical combing devices and in yarn severing devices. Excess yarn is cut from the yarn ends by the yarn severing devices at a predetermined distance from the splicin...

This invention concerns an improved splicer (10) to splice textile yarns mechanically, the splice being obtained by coupling two single untwisted yarns (70-71) and reapplying the twists thereafter, part of such single yarns (70-71) being untwisted until twists of a sign opposite to the original twists have been imparted, such part then being doubled and remaining tails (270-271) being obtained, th...

A weighing system is disclosed which operates in conjunction with a scale that has a trigger mechanism for terminating the flow of material into the scale's bucket. This system automatically periodically revises a tare signal stored in a latch circuit for combination with a weight signal to produce a net weight signal. The tare signal provides a measure of the residue stuck in the scale bucket. In...

The present invention relates to a method for fine positioning vehicles in exact relationships to geographic reference markings, whereby the vehicle (1) is adapted to fetch and deliver loads (2) preferably goods carried on loading stools or pallets, at fetching and delivering points (3-14), whereby it is required that the vehicle (1) repeatedly may be brought to exact positions relative to said fe...

In a conventional heel depressor, an inconveniently large overall length is created because of a spring housing which is secured behind the pivot part on the ski and contains a spring seating. Furthermore, the heel depressor consists of a substantial number of individual parts. The new heel depressor is to be of shorter and simpler construction. In order to shorten the overall length of the heel d...

An automatic guided vehicle travels for a predetermined distance by detecting the distance covered, and thereafter stops when the mark located at the desired stopping point is detected by at least one sensor. Obstacles on the route, and cumulative error therefore have very little influence on the vehicle's travel, so that accurate travel control is obtained.

Adhesive tape useful in supporting an array of parallel optical fibers in an optical transmission cable comprising an adhesive-covered biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate film having defined ranges for the proportion of gauche and trans conformations of the ethylene glycol linkages of the polyethylene terephthalate molecule, as measured by infrared spectroscopy, whereby extreme dimension...

A process for the preparation of the enantiomeric pairs (1R-3R- alpha S+1S-3S- alpha R) and (1R-3S- alpha S+1S-3R- alpha R) from a mixture of all 8 stereoisomers of the compound alpha R/S-cyano-3-phenoxy-4-fluorobenzyl 3R/S-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1R/S-cyclopropanecarboxylate, comprising dissolving the mixture in a secondary or tertiary alkylamine having 2-6 C atoms per alkyl radical, su...

A safety ski binding having a sole plate which is pivotally supported on a ski-fixed pivot pin in a horizontal plane, however, is secured against lifting off from the ski. The sole plate has a front jaw at its front end and a heel holder provided with a housing at its rear end. The heel holder has a sole holder which is pivotal upwardly about a transversely extending axle on the housing against th...

A safety toe unit for a ski binding has two sole retaining jaws (11, 12) which can pivot laterally outwards in opposite directions. A respective projection (13, 14) of a pressure member (19) acts on each of the sole retaining jaws at the front between the pivot axes (15, 16) and shoe retaining rollers (17, 18). The pressure member (19) is arranged for displacement in the longitudinal direction of ...

The dissolution rate of water-soluble polymers in water can be precisely controlled. This is accomplished by inverting a water-in-oil emulsion containing the water-soluble vinyl polymer into water which contains at the time of inversion an exact amount of an emulsifier system having an HLB number which has been predetermined to produce a specific solubility rate for the water-soluble vinyl polymer...
