PURPOSE:To increase the degree of the influence exercised by a throttle pressure in a region on the high transmission gear ratio side, by a method wherein a line pressure is regulated according to a signal pressure having characteristics which are differed between a region on the high transmission gear ratio side and that on the low transmission gear ratio side. CONSTITUTION:A throttle valve 14 ou...

PURPOSE:To accurately control driving force while maintaining the responsiveness of acceleration by operating both adjusting means of braking force and generating torque when a slippage which is detected by slip detecting means is above a defined value, and making the ratio of said braking force adjusting means higher when traveling load is large. CONSTITUTION:On receiving an output from a slip de...

PURPOSE:To obtain an operating characteristic suited to the driver's taste by providing a correcting means for manually commanding the ratio between generating torque adjusting means and a braking force adjusting means in a driving force control device for operating said generating torque adjusting means and braking force adjusting means to carry out slip control. CONSTITUTION:On receiving an outp...

A tire building machine and method employing a tire building drum for receiving at least one ply of tire material having an edge overhanging an axial end of the drum, a bladder turn-up mechanism extending axially outwardly from the drum, an annular array of radially contractible ply-down fingers movable axially to and from a position encircling the overhanging ply edge, and an axially movable ring...

A method for determining the presence of an analyte in a fluid is described along with an apparatus specifically designed to carry out the method. The method involves taking a reflectance reading from one surface (15) of an inert porous matrix (11) impregnated with a reagent that will interact with the analyte to produce a light-absorbing reaction product when the fluid being analysed is applied t...
