A control system/method for controlling the engagement and disengagement of a friction master clutch (16) in an automated mechanical transmission system (10) is provided. The control system/method is effective to minimize shift transient times and to minimize or eliminate the occurrence of cab lurch events.

A reactor for gasification of cellulose-waste liquors, especially black liquor. The reactor includes a reactor cladding a supply for liquor and combustion air in the upper part of the reactor, an outlet opening for gases and other material in the lower part, and a heat-insulating lining at the cladding and bottom part. The lining is arranged at a distance from the surrounding wall, thereby forming...

of the disclosure Genetic selection, by means of signal transduction in microorganisms, of proteins which are capable of ligand binding The invention relates to a process for the genetic selection in microorganisms of proteins which are capable of ligand binding, in which process a protein which is capable of ligand binding is presented extracytoplasmically and the signal of the ligand binding is ...

A method and a device for speech signal digital coding are provided where at each frame there is carried out a long-term analysis for estimating pitch period d and a long- term prediction coefficient b and gain G, and an a-priori classification of the signal as active/inactive and, for active signal, as voiced/unvoiced. Period estimation circuits (LT1) compute such period on the basis of a suitabl...

A method of and a device for speech signal digital coding are described, where spectral parameters are quantized at each frame in order to exploit the actual correlation inside a frame or between contiguous frames. The quantization devices (DQ) recognize strongly correlated signal periods by using a first set of indexes (j1), representing the parameters and provided by the spectral analysis circui...

The purpose of the present application is a device able to allow reflection of the pedals, being particularly useful in touring or athletic bicycles comprising a front wheel consisting of a support rim for a tubular tyre, with or without air chamber, on the internal surface of the rim there being associated at least one mirror element. The characteristic of the invention consists in the fact that ...

Blind and corresponding apparatus especially for making vertical bands, characterised in that it is obtained by cutting, from PVC tape on a roll, measured pieces, at the same time producing at least one hole at the corresponding ends of the contiguous pieces, thus cut, and in which: - at one side there can be joined together support rods clamping the band, with a seat for engaging the means of con...

The purpose of the invention is a system able to provide automatic regulation of the pressure in an air tank, for example, the type normally used to supply a compressed air distribution system, having substantial mechanical and structural simplifications, consisting in the presence of an opening 32 above a block piston 14, closed in turn by a plate 33 controlled by a spring 16, which connects the ...

The invention has the purpose of facilitating the locking and releasing of farming and industrial tools, or any supplemental apparatus in general, for use by temporary installation on motorised or other means. The invention consists of a rapid connection and release system of easy application and minimum footprint, self- cleaning, self-centring, having continuous recovery of backlash, and manually...

Knockdown-elements framework for supporting and stretching light signs made from transparent or semitransparent flexible materials, constituted by a plurality of vertical bars (1) fixed to a wall, a cantilever roof or the like, by upper (5) and lower (5a) anchoring flanges inclined at 45 DEG , provided at their ends with an upper stretching section bar (14) and a lower stretching section bar (14a)...

An automatic machine for dispensing an ice-cream portion comprises, in combination, a dispenser (10) for dispensing cones (18) or the like in an inverted position, and a seat (20) arranged to receive said cone (18) in an upright position and to convey it to an ice-cream delivery mouth (27). Between said cone dispenser (10) and said seat (20) there is provided a cone (18) overturning and feed devic...

Frame in plastic material for a drawer-bathing unit for bathing babies in early infancy, characterised by the fact that it comprises two sides 1, a central grille 2, two front longitudinal cross members 3a and two rear longitudinal cross members 3b, said elements 1, 2, 3a and 3b being made individually by moulding in a single piece and being combined together by connection couplings to form the fr...

The travel bag comprises a base 2 and two half-shells 5 connected to the base 2 by means of hinges 14, able to make them assume a position of complete opening, in which they are arranged opposite each other, to facilitate the filling of their internal compartments 33. The means of closing of the half-shells 5 are formed by at least one zip fastener 19 having an extension 21 connected to elastic me...
