PURPOSE:To suppress the new generation of speed change shock due to the excessive increase of the torque reduction of a prime mover by suspending the operation of a torque down means when an accelerator pedal is operated in the reduction direction during speed change. CONSTITUTION:An automatic transmission 2 selects a prescribed speed change stage from the selective hydraulic operation of each fri...

PURPOSE:To always match the torque reduction quantity surely with the torque reduction quantity necessary for lightening the speed change shock by varying the fuel stop cylinder quantity for each operation state of a power train. CONSTITUTION:A fuel stop cylinder quantity determining circuit 17 executes the control program on the basis of the signal related to the kind of speed change supplied fro...

PURPOSE:To adjust the torque change for lightening the speed change shock surely during the execution of speed change by correctly judging the execution of speed change by discriminating the execution of speed change from the apparent gear ratio of a transmission. CONSTITUTION:A speed change detecting circuit 18 determines the apparent gear ratio G=Nr/No of an automatic transmission 2 on the basis...

PURPOSE:To enable an automatic switching type clutch to serve as a main clutch so as to simplify the structure by having a valve mechanism capable of altering and adjusting the supply oil pressure by means of an artificial operating tool connected in the pressure oil supply passage of the automatic switching type clutch. CONSTITUTION:A drain oil passage (d) is connected with an oil passage (l) dis...

PURPOSE:To decrease the fuel consumption by having an auxiliary transmission gear returned automatically to the non-action state by means of a select lever when the standing of a vehicle continues more than the specified time in the action range. CONSTITUTION:When a vehicle being in the standing state, the battery voltage being less than the specified value, a throttle valve being entirely opened ...

Devices that measure the electron density in a body by means of radiation scattered from a narrow pencil beam of penetrating radiation directed through the body, produce defective images on reconstruction of the density distribution because of multiple scattering of radiation. This can of course be reduced by scattered ray diaphragms, but cannot be eliminated entirely. The invention therefore prov...

PURPOSE:To prevent an output shaft from being locked, by connecting branch paths to main circuits of respective actuator through respective shuttle valves to interpose decompression valve in the respective branch paths. CONSTITUTION:Branch paths 50, 40 are connected to main circuits 4, 5 of respective actuators 1, 2 through respective shuttle valves 52, 42. In the respective branch paths 50, 40 ar...

PURPOSE:To perform the synchronizing action of a subspeed changer in a stable manner, by holding a clutch in an off-condition before the subspeed changer completes its shift operation even if on-off operation of the clutch is quickly performed. CONSTITUTION:A main speed changer 10 is connected to a wheel 14 through a subspeed changer 11, drive shaft 12 and a differential mechanism 13. The subspeed...

PURPOSE:To facilitate the change-over of 2W running, differential 4W running and direct 4W running, by constituting a change-over controller, controlling the actuation of a central differential gear being interposed between axles of both front and rear wheels, in a way of installing a movable connecting member to be moved to three different positions by hydraulic force. CONSTITUTION:A central diff...

A centrifuge includes a power exchange rotor of efficient design which is provided with at least one channel member for guiding the flow of material therethrough from a first end exposed to a source of the material, which is a feed source in a rotor used as a feed accelerator and is material discharging from the bowl treating zone in a rotor used in power recovery. The channel is so formed as to c...

A system for controlling an infinitely variable transmission is provided with a vehicle speed sensor for sensing vehicle speed and for producing a signal when the vehicle speed exceeds a predetermined value, a neutral range sensor of the transmission, a drive range sensor, and an accelerator pedal release sensor. The system further has an actuator for cutting off fuel. When the vehicle coasts unde...

The invention relates to a supercharged internal combustion engine with an exhaust manifold, from which two exhaust lines branch off, each of which in turn is connected to a turbine of a separate exhaust turbocharger. In one of the two exhaust lines a shut-off element is provided. In order to achieve not only an improved efficiency but also an increased torque curve, especially at full load in the...
