The present invention automates the process of receiving transportation documentation and producing advance loading manifests therefrom to optimize load planning and dynamic product shipment and delivery control. Methods provide for receipt of the transportation documentation, initial preparation, and transmission of the documentation from on board a vehicle or while the vehicle is in transit. A r...

A transmission device in a motor vehicle, comprising an automated disk clutch (3) coupled to the output shaft (50) of an engine (1), a multi-stage gearbox (9) and a control unit for controlling the disk clutch and the engine. The control unit (45) is arranged so as, when input signals representing zero throttle are received, to give an output signal to disengage the disk clutch (3) and so as, when...

A fence spool apparatus includes ground penetration means for penetrating a portion of ground, ground contacting plate means from which a portion of the ground penetration means extend downward therefrom, vertical stabilizer means positioned on top of the ground contacting plate means, ground penetrator driver means for driving a portion of said ground penetration mea ns into the ground, spindle s...

An area dividing unit 103 divides an ultrasound image into sub-areas in accordance with an initial contour. An evaluation value calculating unit 104 calculates evaluation values on the basis of information which includes, for example, brightness value-related information (e.g. contrast distribution) and position-related information (e.g. a distance from a reference point) of each of the sub-areas,...

The exhaust gas recirculation device comprises a suction channel (1) containing an exhaust gas recirculation channel (2). The recirculation channel has in the zone of its outlet opening (5) a diversion device (6) by means of which the exhaust gases are delivered in the flow direction of the fresh air (4).

Enhanced stabilization is provided for an eccentric reaming tool when a pilot borehole is undersized with respect to a following pilot stabilization pad (PSP). Alternatively, offset of a rotational axis of at least a portion of the assembly including the reaming tool is employed to accomplish stabilization of the reaming tool. In either case, a reamed diameter larger than a physical diameter of th...

This invention provides a method for manufacturing polymers with injection materials of predetermined shapes. In this method, the polymer raw material is heated from the solid phase to a liquid phase. The temperature of the polymer raw material in its liquid phase is lower than its reaction temperature. The molten polymer raw material is then mixed evenly so as to pour the molten polymer material ...

The housing consists of top and bottom parts (6,4) and a lid (8), which is movably arranged at the top housing part. Spring-loaded bearing legs (10) for the lid have stop edges (20), which are bent with respect to the lid front (12). The stop edges rest on counter stop edges (22) when the lid is folded back. The counter stop edges are provided at the adjacent sidewall (18) of the top housing part ...

The boat, designed to convert into a closed box for storage and transport, e.g. on a vehicle roof, consists of a rigid lower hull (1) with its upper edge lying in approximately one plane, and an outer inflatable float joined to the outer surface of the rigid hull, apart from the stern. The rigid hull has a hollow aluminium or plastic rail (15) fastened to its outer surface close to its upper edge ...

An instrument panel, incorporating at least one liquid crystal display (LCD) (2) in a background field (3), has the latter in the form of a luminous panel (5) with one face covered with a colored translucent layer with the luminous density and the localization of color in the illuminated state corresponding to a large degree to luminosity and position of the LCDs. The instrument panel, incorpora...

The double clutch transmission comprises two sub-transmissions (A,B) each having a primary shaft (1) with several pinions for different gear ratios. Each pinion (2,3) of the primary shaft of the first sub-transmission is associated with several gear ratios. There is an intermediate idler pinion (4) of the lowest gear for the reverse gear. The reverse gear and the idler gear of the largest gear can...

A method to stabilize the repetition rate in a passive harmonic mode-locked fiber laser employing semiconductor saturable absorbers. The pulse organization is accomplished by electrically modulating the amplifier pump source that in turn optically modulates the saturable loss of semiconductor absorber. Due to an efficient modulation mechanism of the cavity loss, the method can be used to generate ...

The present invention relates to a method for determining the propagation delay of a signal. In the method a burst signal transmitted from one or more access points is received, said signal comprising at least one part containing fixed information. Samples are taken from the received signal to produce a sampled signal (s(n)). The received signal comprises signal components propagated via one or se...
