In order to prevent a cyclic repeating of switching of vehicle gears to higher speeds for automatic transmissions at increased running resistances, an electronic control system is provided with a prognostic circuit which predicts the acceleration which can be expected after switching to a higher speed and which allows the switching to higher speeds only if this acceleration is above zero. If an ad...

A hollow filament bundle for use in a separator module is made by rotating two co-axial spiders 24 and 28 and looping a continuous hollow filament which is fed from a package 32 alternately around the arms 26 and 30 of the two spiders. This is done by means of a guide 40 which is reciprocated between the two spiders by a screw threaded shaft 34 which is rotated first in one direction and then the ...

PURPOSE:To save the work of the inter-cell connection section and simplify assembly by integrating positive and negative electrode plates with a joint, folding it into two, inserting a partition wall between the respective cells within a container, and facing both plates to each other. CONSTITUTION:Positive and negative electrode plates 8 and 9 are formed by filling one of a pair of grid bodies wi...

PURPOSE:To improve the sudden discharge characteristics and life span of a lead storage battery by applying the discharge process during the charge of the first formation process that uses an alkaline, neutral, or low concentration sulfuric acid aqueous solution. CONSTITUTION:Discharge is performed once or more in addition to charge during the first formation process that uses an electrolyte selec...

A method and apparatus for reliably assembling battery cell elements having relatively large numbers of electrode plates separated by a single interleaved spacer. The apparatus includes a rotatable element-assembly drum formed with a plurality of plate receiving slots at circumferentially spaced intervals about the periphery thereof, a first plate supply station for directing first electrode plate...

Apparatus for splicing fibrous yarns includes structure having walls which define a chamber accessible to receive respective portions of the yarns and confine them adjacent one another. A gas stream may be directed into the chamber transversely to the yarn portions. Means is provided to maintain the gas stream entering the chamber, and preferably also the walls of the chamber, at an elevated tempe...

An adapter for a swinging bucket centrifuge rotor includes a slide plate having a retaining lip and a cam surface thereon. Movement of the plate in one direction to a holding position disposes the lip to hold above the rim of a microtube to hold the same in place. Movement in an opposite direction introduces a cam surface between the rim of the tube and a flange on a closure to thereby uncap the s...

Cette invention concerne un procédé de traitement de capsules destinées à la fermeture de récipients pourvues d'un joint thermo-scelllable, composé de quatre couches, soit un joint de carton, une couche de cire, une pellicule d'aluminium et une couche finale formée d'un polymère, caractérisé en ce qu'on soumet la cire précitée (7), avant son introduction entre le joint de carton (6), et la pellicu...

PURPOSE:To perform the assured test of a peripheral circuit of a memory cell by detecting the voltage applied to a chip enable terminal after dividing said voltage in three steps and therefore distributing at least two bit string for test cells to a small capacity element containing only one chip enable terminal. CONSTITUTION:When the voltage of a chip enable terminal -CE is set at 0- 1.5V, the ou...

The dial (2) extends beyond the bezel (4) of the glass, its overhanging portion (2a) having the same appearance as its central portion. Thus the bezel (4) is simply placed on the dial (2) and is held by screws (11) which grip from below. It follows from this that the outer portion of the bezel (4) may exhibit the most diverse shapes without any other element of the case having to be modified. Thes...

1339436 Granulating metals STORA KOPPARBERGS BERGSLAGS A B 2 Dec 1970 [3 Dec 1969] 57338/70 Heading C7X In a method of atomizing a molten material by directing fluid jets against a stream of said material, a first fluid jet intersects the stream at an angle between 30 degrees and 60 degrees, deflects the stream from its original direction and causes the stream to form a layer of drops spread out o...

Silicone-containing durable press resin compositions are prepared by polymerizing a polydimethylsiloxane which has been emulsified in an aqueous solution of dimethylolethylene urea or dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea. The resulting homogeneous aqueous compositions have improved resistance to separation after freeze-thaw cycling. Advantageously, more highly concentrated aqueous compositions comprisi...

Storage stable, water-free, RTV organopolysiloxane adhesives curable in the presence of water or atmospheric moisture, and comprising a dihydroxydiorganopolysiloxane polymer, fillers, an amine fraction and a curing catalyst, are characterized by incorporation therein of a polyalkoxylated organosilane having the formula: R'xSi[(OCH2CH2)p OCH3]4-x wherein R' is methyl, vinyl, allyl, methallyl or phe...
