To prevent gear shift shock in a vehicle power train associated with a turbocharged engine (10) and an automatic transmission (12), an air charging efficiency for engine cylinders is reduced during the gear shifting transient period, e.g., when shifting from first gear range to a higher second gear range. Therefore, when engine output is reduced by means of retardation of ignition timing at the ti...

Bobbin holder with rotatably mounted centring plates. In the known bobbin holders, the centring plates are cylindrical and are matched to the tube inside diameter. To clamp the tube, they therefore have supporting rings, the diameter of which is equal to the tube outside diameter or larger than this. If inaccurately calibrated bobbin tubes are used, there is the risk of inaccurate clamping. The ne...

The lengths of printing material (1) of varying widths are conveyed through several printing points formed by juxtaposed printing cylinders (2) in a printing unit. The width of the reel changer (13), the position of the printing cylinders and the components of an adjustable folder (20) are automatically and relatively adjusted during operation, for converting production from one printed product to...

The lifting magnet has a core (5) with a projection (5.1) which fits into an opening (1.3) in the yoke (1,7) lying on the longitudinal axis of the magnet. A pole plate (4,9) is fastened to the yoke (1,7) and lies opposite the core (5). The armature (6) is axially adjustably guided in the passage of the spool body (2,8) which carries at least one coil (3). The core projection (5.1) is conical and i...

The invention under proposal is a system for feeding aggregate to hammer mills producing sand or other granular material in general, its function being to provide a regulated acceleration of the immission of raw material for processing and the elimination of contact between the hammers and the material to be crushed during those unfavourable moments which give rise to the buildup of unprocessed ma...

A canopy comprising a plurality of ribs (10) extending from a hub (12) of the canopy and a membrane (14) attached to those ribs (10). The ribs (10) extend radially outwardly from the hub (12) when the canopy is in use so that the membrane (14) is stretched outwardly from the hub (12). The ribs (10) are held securely in their radially extending positions, against collapse towards one another, at th...

A defect detection system and method for a pattern to be inspected wherein multiple-focus images of the pattern to be inspected are obtained and a defect on the pattern to be inspected is detected utilizing the multiple-focus images.

A polyester film comprises a polyester whose dicarboxylic acid copolymerized component contains (i) an aromatic dicarboxylic acid having a metal sulfonate and/or a derivative thereof and (ii) a polyetherdicarboxylic acid represented by the following chemical formula (a) and having a mean molecular weight in the range of 600 to 20,000 and/or a derivative thereof. R<1> OOCCH2-(O-R<2>)n -OCH2 COOR<3>...

An apparatus for detecting extraneous substances on a glass plate (1) comprises a first light projecting system (41) arranged above the glass plate surface under examination for irradiating the surface with an S-polarized laser beam at a first elevation angle, a second light projecting system (42) arranged above the surface for irradiating it with a P-polarized laser beam at a second elevation ang...

A medical tubing sealer has its electrodes (35, 36) extending from a handle (31, 31') in line therewith and one electrode (35) shiftable by a lever (40, 47) transverse to the major dimension of the handle (31, 31') to provide a particularly ergonomic configuration. The lever (40, 47) acts upon the clamping electrode (35) via a leaf spring (42, 46).

In a method and arrangements for monitoring the function of a microprocessor, test points are provided in a program for the microprocessor. When the program is running correctly, it passes through the test points within predefined time intervals, and at these test points, predefined data is output by the microprocessor. The data which is output each time a test point is reached is compared to stor...

The system contains trackside communications devices (LL1,LL2,B1,2,S1-S4) associated with each direction along a track and via which the vehicle can receive data from fixed control devices or exchange data with them. The data are used for detection of directions of travel and positions from known locations of fixed devices (B1,B2), loop ends (SB) and crossing points (K). Additional position detect...

Moulded lightweight building material with low thermal conductivity is based on crushed cellulosic raw material (I) and is bound with a polyfunctional isocyanate binder (II).

The communication system allows information to be communicated to a passing train (FZ). It has a track coupling coil (GKS) supplied with a data telegram by a telegram generator, for reception by a reception circuit on board the train including a train coupling coil (FZS). The data telegram has a start (START) and a rest (REST). A periodic loop telegram (STEL) is provided by a transmission loop (SS...

In data transmission between the unlike signal-processing devices in a motor vehicle, distortion of transmitted data may occur because of sources of disturbance internal and external to the vehicle due to super position of high frequency disturbances in transmitted data as well as due to short circuits or disconnections occurring in the system. To detect such conditions the level of transmitted da...

A transparent laminated pane has at least one glass layer, with a shape forming a double image angle when viewed over a certain viewing direction range, and at least one layer surface bonded to the glass layer. The novelty is that the bonded layer has, in the viewing direction range, a shape dimensioned such that the value of the double image angle of the laminated pane is smaller than that of the...

A multi-speed rear wheel drive transmission having synchronizers and a plurality of gears rotatable on the input shaft provides for the elimination of neutral roll-over noise and optimization of common reduced size synchronizers.
