PURPOSE:To improve the responsiveness of skid control for slips which are brought about immediately after a speed change, by setting up a controlled variable immediately after the speed change for a controlled variable obtaining the output of an engine in which the driving torques of driving wheels before and after the speed change become a generally constant value so as to make faster the speed o...

A configuration of three-dimensional cone beam computerized tomography imaging which minimizes the incompleteness of the data set acquired, while providing fast data acquisition to minimize motion artifacts. An object within a field of view is scanned, preferably simultaneously, along a pair of circular source scanning trajectories spaced a distance selected to minimize the amount of missing data....

A computer tomography apparatus has a circular anode and a circular radiation detector in which a patient to be examined is disposed. An electron beam from an electron gun is deflected by a beam deflection system, fed by a line voltage, so that the focus of the electron beam on the anode orbits the patient, thereby irradiating the patient from different angular positions. The radiation attenuated ...

In a third- or fourth-generation computerised tomography apparatus, it is intended for the detection of the leakage radiation to take place simply and precisely with the aid of detector elements (16, 17 etc) for this leakage radiation, the intention being for it to be possible to adjust these detector elements (16, 17 etc) in a simple manner. The whole radiation receiver with two parallel row...

A hose reel assembly comprises a drum (3/4) borne on a cantilevered support tube (1). A rotary joint assembly to direct water from a feed pipe (12) to the hose connector (19) of the drum comprises a fixed conduit member (9) mounted within the support tube and a rotatable conduit member (14) sealingly journalled to the fixed member. An inlet port (10) of the fixed conduit member receives the feed p...

A green tyre manufacturing apparatus comprising an unwinding means (8,9) for umwinding tyre fabric in sheet form from a reel (10,11), characterised by a transfer means (6,7) for transferring the unwound tyre component longitudinally thereof, said transfer means (6,7) comprising a first conveyor (18) disposed upstream of the transferring means and a second conveyor (19) disposed downstream of the s...

A winding (2) having a winding length constant up to a limiting diameter (D) is applied to a tube (1). To achieve a uniform yarn draw-off tension, even where packages of large mass and correspondingly large diameter are concerned, the winding length continues to be reduced with an increasing diameter. If the tube (1) is made conical, the conicity of the winding (2) is also reduced, thus leadi...
