PURPOSE:To prevent the unwinding of a roving end, by holding a roving bobbin with a peg on a transporter and rotating the bobbin along the direction to wind a roving by a bobbin rotating apparatus while pressing the circumference of the wound roving of the bobbin with a pressing device. CONSTITUTION:In the transport of a roving bobbin, the posture of the bobbin is maintained by a peg 32 of a lifte...

PURPOSE:To improve the responsibility and convergence in a transient clutch- torque control by setting a target engagement ratio, and then permitting a controlling torque to be controlled so as to increase and decrease according to the deviation between the target engagement ratio and a clutch engagement ratio so that the controlling torque is determined in proportion to the radical number of the ...

PURPOSE:To prevent shift's overs and shorts from occurring as well as to secure a stable shift position, by setting the desired value with the learning value value made by the detecting value of a stroke sensor in a clutch's on-state in case of setting the shift position of a shift actuator. CONSTITUTION:In both oil chambers 1f and 1g of a stepped cylinder 1a, for example, when hydraulic pressure ...

PURPOSE:To eliminate a shortage of driving force as well as to aim at smooth starting, by comparing the rotational frequency between an engine and an input shaft of a transmission and, when a speed difference in them exceeds the specified value, making the transmission shift down to a low speed step forcibly. CONSTITUTION:Various signals out of an engine output shaft speed sensor 04 and a transmis...

PURPOSE:To make safety running attainable without overrunning an engine, by controlling it so as to prohibit the gearshifting within the set time at a time when a decrement rate of car speed is larger than the specified value. CONSTITUTION:An electronic controller 9 connects its output port 9c to a clutch actuator 3, a hydraulic mechanism 4 and a transmission actuator 5. And the input port 9d is c...

PURPOSE:To make composition in each part of plate uniform by placing a plate-like separator having larger hole opening area in the center than that in the periphery between a cathode plate and an anode plate to which formation is not yet applied in formation process by which active material in each plate is formed. CONSTITUTION:A plate-like separator 1 having larger hole opening area in the center...

An electrically controllable dual fuel system for an internal combustion engine (such as, but not necessarily confined to, a diesel engine) having a liquid fuel injection system incorporating an injector pump for delivering prescribed quantities of a principal liquid fuel )e.g. diesel oil) under pressure to individual injectors for the engine cylinders comprising an electronic control unit, an ele...

A snare assembly is disclosed which is inserted into a region of interest of a human body through a channel of an endoscope. The snare assembly comprises at least one flexible tube, a folded snare which is so inserted into the flexible tube as to be movable back and forth and having a folded end portion and a relatively short snare section, a slide means attached to a base end portion of the short...

A system and method for diagnosing and treating undesired internal conditions and structures, such as occluded vessels or aberrant histological regions. Diagnosis is effected by means of doppler analysis of laser light directed to the effected site from an inserted laser-containing unit, and treatment is accomplished by the same unit through direction of laser emissions of controlled characteristi...

A backcountry ski binding having a boot-receiving frame (10) and a climbing attachment (40) is detachably mountable (24, 26) upon a ski and convertible between a plurality of climbing modes (L) and a stored mode (C). The frame includes adjustable rear support means (28) that permit free heel operation at a plurality of boot positions to accommodate slopes of differing grade. The climbing attachmen...

A variable geometry device is provided for synchronous control of flow of fluid at the compressor inlet and outlet of a turbine engine. The turbine engine includes a support housing, a compressor contained within the support housing, a set of variable inlet guide vanes and a compressed air outlet in which a pair of spaced walls define an annular and radially extending diffuser passageway. The inne...

A spring finger ply down for a tire building machine comprising an annular array of spring fingers, an annular support for the fingers and a constrictable clamp for securing each finger to the support at an axial interference between each finger and the support. The constrictable clamp includes an elastic band stretched circumferentially around the fingers and/or a clamping ring of relatively inex...

A method for rapid determination of the contents of lignin, monosaccharides and organic acids in the process solutions of sulfite pulping. Accordingly, any non-ionized compounds that disturbs the measurement of these concentrations are separated from the lignin material by an ion-exclusion technique. The measurements of concentrations are carried out by means of the UV-method, refractive-index met...

PURPOSE:To reduce the cost of manufacturing an offshore working platform by a method in which a portion to share reaction which acts on cords constituting the support legs of the platform is provided in all circumferential direction and the supporting structure of the legs is simplified. CONSTITUTION:A platform 1 having an upper guide 15 and a lower guide 16 as horizontal reaction-sharing parts is...

An endotracheal tube assembly is provided which includes an endotracheal tube, and an insufflation catheter connectable to a source of high frequency gas and disposed in the tube. The tube has spacers adjacent the distal end to space the dis-tal end of the catheter from the inner sidewalls of the tube. The catheter may be provided with a ventilation lumen, a suction lumen, and connection means for...
