In a drive system including a torque split type multi-cylinder internal combustion engine and an automatic transmission, the magnitude of line pressure for shifting operation is varied in accordance with the number of cylinders disabled by fuel-cut during the shifting operation.

The punch appts. has a planar element of highly conductive material mounted on normal to the direction of movement. A planar coil is fixedly mounted on the frame coaxially with punch element and adjacent to the planar element. A carriage positions a thin sheet of material to be punched in the path of the punch element and moves the sheet in direction transverse to the axis of the punch element. Th...

The perforations in a film-faced wound dressing have been discovered to have edges which, though clearly defined, lack the ability to cut the neoepithelium of a healing wound, with the result that the film affords an unexpectedly high degree of comfort during movement of the patient-and most particularly, when the dressing is changed. This occurs in a thin, soft, self-supporting elastomeric film, ...

The winder, to wind a doubled yarn on to a bobbin from two separate yarns drawn from their supply bobbins, has a strand manipulator (42) to increase the bonding of the yarns (3, 4) to each other within the doubled yarn (5). The manipulator (42) is after the cutter (16), and is only activated on a cutting operation. The control (41) acts on the cutter (16) and the manipulator (42). The manipulator ...

The invention relates to the optical control of sufficiently transparent bodies, in particular articles such as bottles (B) or flasks distributed in line on a horizontal table conveyor in front of the apparatus, each light emitter (21) of which can be reduced to a simple screen providing a luminous background. Rapid electronic examination is carried out by lines, in the direction of motion ov...

The substrate of conventional reagent test devices is replaced by polyester screen material having a nominal filter rating of from about 80 to about 130 microns such that liquid present in the reagent matrix material of the test device is retained therein and prevented from running over onto other reagent matrix areas present on the same reagent test device.

Apparatus for detecting line-over defects at the finish of a glassware container. A bifurcated fiber optic bundle (30) includes sender (31) and receiver (33) fiber branches; one of the branches terminates at a modulated visible red high intensity LED light source, the other at a photosensor. The non-bifurcated, probe end (46) of the fiber optic cable terminates in a rectangular pattern of sending ...

The described device comprises two primary pliers systems (2, 2a) arranged to engage through respective gripping elements (25, 26) the opposite ends of an elastomeric filler (45) applied on the bead core (46). The pliers systems are pivoted around an axis a little far, toward the center of the bead core, with respect to the convergence point of the V-shaped opening formed by the ends of the filler...

A reaction curable composition comprising, as reactive materials, a polyisocyanate component comprising a diisocyanate and a tri or higher functional polyisocyanate and having an average equivalent molecular weight of from 120 to 240, and a polyol component comprising a diol and a tri or higher functional polyol and having an average equivalent molecular weight of from 100 to 550.

A reflection plate for a biochemical measuring instrument which is adapted to evaluate a biochemical value by obtaining a reflective property of a reflection surface of the reference reflection plate, obtaining a reflective property of test paper impregnated with biochemical sample and mounted on a test stick, and comparing the two reflective properties, wherein: the reflection surface of the refe...

The two-part ski-binding has a basic part (1) fixed to the ski, and a detachable release-part (2) turned when excess pressure is applied. The basic part has at least three freely pivot-mounted guide-rollers (10) around which are grooves (11), and has an adjustable release-mechanism (6,9) with spring-loaded release-member (9). The release-part has a turn-plate with guide-flanges curved downwards an...

The invention relates to a process for the production of rigid polyurethane foams using a specific blowing agent mixture of highly fluorinated and/or perfluorinated organic compounds, cyclopentane and, if desired, aliphatic and/or further cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons having 4 to 8 carbon atoms.
