A tire building drum is described as having a unique mechanism for controlling the radial movement of the bead lock segments which are designed to hold the tire bead rings firmly, in position, during the tune-up operation. The mechanism includes an annular support member which is disposed concentrically around the longitudinal center axis of the drum adjacent opposing ends of the drum, and which h...

PURPOSE:To test the degree of fusion between the resin frame the active-material- holding body of a plate, which is formed by fusing the active material-holding body to the resin frame after a paste is packed into a body consisting of a lead grid and the resin frame, by measuring the amount of light transmitted by the plate when its one surface is irradiated by a beam of light. CONSTITUTION:After ...

PURPOSE:To improve high rate discharge performance at low temperature by installing coils comprising shape memory alloy which produces displacement in two directions and has low transformation temperature in a separating wall space of a container in which a plate group is accommodated. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of shape memory alloy coils comprising Cu-Zn-Al alloy which produces displacement in two...

An automatic guided vehicle travels for a predetermined distance by detecting the distance covered, and thereafter stops when the mark located at the desired stopping point is detected by at least one sensor. Obstacles on the route, and cumulative error therefore have very little influence on the vehicle's travel, so that accurate travel control is obtained.
