PURPOSE:To accomplish optimum speed change control by not conducting speed change even if the stepping amount of an accelerator is changed to be larger in a turning state and prohibiting setting to a speed sensitive speed change characteristic on discriminating turning at an intersection according to the operating state of a winker. CONSTITUTION:A control unit 10 selects a speed sensitive speed ch...

PURPOSE:To prevent hunting due to change-over operation by delaying change- over from a speed sensitive speed change characteristic to a basic speed change characteristic conducted by speed change characteristic changing means using delay means when a specified operating condition is not detected. CONSTITUTION:When a handle steering angle 13 becomes larger than a designated value Q0, a control uni...

PURPOSE:To prevent a vehicle from moving backward by providing a shift position sensor, a rotating direction deciding portion and a portion for deciding backward movement of a vehicle, and increasing line pressure to be compensated in case of deciding that the vehicle moves backward. CONSTITUTION:Line pressure of a continuously variable transmission 4 is controlled to be minimum at the time of sto...

PURPOSE:To improve running performance under speed change control when an engine is in the cool state and to reduce warming up time by compensating the target value of a target primary pulley rotational frequency to be increased as a change gear ratio is decreased. CONSTITUTION:When it is detected by a cool state detecting portion 60 that an engine is in the cool state according to a signal of a c...

A techniqu for producing measurements of physical characteristics of subsurface media near a borehole penetrating the earth is disclosed that uses multiple transducers positioned along a borehole tool. A number of transducers of a first type, such as transmitters, are separated from each other along the tool by a preselected separation, and a number of transducers of a second type, such as recei...

A pouch and a method and apparatus for forming an easy open pouch in a vertical form-fill-seal process wherein a pouch is formed from a sheet of thermoplastic film and a heat seal between pouches as they are filled serves as the top closure for the lower pouch and a bottom closure for the upper pouch, the easy open feature being provided by a U-shaped portion (12) having a plurality of seal ribs (...

A method of structurally modifying a silica monomode optical fibre (4) by launching optical power into the fibre (4) from a Nd:YAG laser operating at 1.064um and raising the temperature of a portion of the fibre (4) by bringing a metal film (12) into contact with a polished half-coupler block (6) to absorb energy from the laser (2). A structural modification of the fibre is initiated which propaga...

A gas-sparged hydrocyclone apparatus and method for achieving separation by flotation in a centrifugal field. Hydrocyclone apparatus includes a vessel (52) with feed means (55), product discharge means (57) and sink discharge means (68) for unwanted material. A gas phase is dispersed into the vessel through a porous wall (60) to form discrete bubbles and achieve flotation separation within the cen...

PURPOSE:To decrease the quantity of stored data by holding data in a desired language and writing them after decoding and converting into the write data. CONSTITUTION:The data written into a data storing means 113 are converted into the write data by a translation means 115. Then the write data are written into a programmable device 111. In such a constitution, the quantity of data stored in the m...

A method for preparing a high resilient flexible polyurethane foam, in slabstocks and moulding, wherein a modified or not high reactive polyether-polyol, having an average molecular weight from 3,000 to 10,000 and an average functionality not larger than 4 with an amount of at least 50 % hydroxyl groups, is brought into reaction with organic polyisocyanates in the presence of a "cross-linker/exten...
