PURPOSE:To detect abnormality of engine torque lowering control at a necessary time when generation of slip in a coupling element is expected by constituting the system so as to detect abnormality of an engine torque lowering control means, when the detected value of engine speed exceeds the maximum value of allowable engine speed. CONSTITUTION:When an engine torque lowering control means (a) is a...

In a method and an apparatus for exchanging at least one full roving bobbin (29) on a spinning machine, the roving start is cut to such a length that it projects beyond a guide face (35), the blowing-air stream (44) having a blowing direction directed essentially in the extension of the guide face.

The blowing agent is a complex of cyclodextrin and guest blowing agent. Suitable guest blowing agents include water, propylene glycol and cyclohexylalamine. The blowing agent is used in structural foam and adhesives.

A heel unit of a ski binding has a housing (12) which is resiliently rearwardly deflectably mounted on the ski. A sole clamp (13) having a hold-down member (13') and a pedal element (13''), and also a hand-opening lever (15) are pivotably mounted about a transverse axis (14) in each case. The sole clamp (13) is biased by a release spring (16) into a closed position via a transmission (17, 18) havi...

An arrangement processes pierce cores consisting of rubber-covered individual steel wires wound into pierce core sets whose individual rings can be removed at the end of the winding process and which can be placed in a store for cooling or hardening. Between a discharge point on an automatic winder for Pierce core sets and the store concerned at least one reciprocating holder can be applied to pic...
