That is, a change pattern of increase/decrease ...

PURPOSE:To replace a positioning member for a bearing from the outside by providing bearing fitting holes for supporting one end of a rotary shaft which pierce into the outside. CONSTITUTION:As snap rings 504, 604 are disposed at the outside positions of piercing bearing fitting holes 500, 600, the snap rings 504, 604 can be replaced by detaching bearing retainers 510, 610. That is, after a speed ...

PURPOSE:To supply enough oil to a pinion bearing portion by opening an oil hole on the shaft fitting portion of the outer surface of a pinion shaft with a pinion gear or a roller. CONSTITUTION:When a planetary roller mechanism is rotated, a pinion roller 14 rolls along the inner peripheral surface of a ring roller 12 and soaks in oil so that the outer peripheral surfacer gets wet to stick the oil ...

A valve adjustment unit for an electronically controlled hydraulic proportional-response valve comprising a proportional-response magnet unit, a coaxially connected electronic control unit, and an intermediate insulating spacer body surrounding the inductive coil of a displacement transducer. The magnet core of the transducer is carried by the push rod of the armature of the proportional-response ...

The mould cavity includes ventilation holes (11) leading therefrom, each covered by a perforated metal plate (7) flush with the interior mould surface (9); the plate is thin (e.g. 1mm) and has small holes (10) or passageways extending therethrough (e.g. 0.1 mm diameter). The plate may be supported as a result of being a press-fit in one end of the ventilation hole or as a result of being supported...

In a device for splicing textile yarns by fibre-intermingling with the aid of compressed air, a pneumatic timing unit is provided for adjusting the duration of the compressed air jet. The unit essentially comprises a timing reservoir composed by a number of spaces interconnected with each other and communicating with the fibre-blending chamber, a cutoff valve controlling the flow of air from the a...

The invention relates to a method and circuit arrangement for magnetic recording of a digital data signal composed of a set of transitions. A recording signal is formed by superposition on the data signal of a high frequency, constant amplitude, magnetic biasing signal Sp. The biasing signal is phase-modulated relative to the data signal transitions. The invention remedies "peak shift" and can be ...

The present invention relates to anticonvulsant compounds useful in the treatment of epilepsy and other central nervous system disorders. The compounds of this invention have the following general formula: wherein R and R1, independently, are lower alkyl, aryl lower alkyl or phenyl, unsubstituted or substituted with at least one substituent; R2 and R3, independently, are hydrogen, lower al...

A linear actuator is a hybrid in that movement of the armature is influenced by the field of permanent magnets and the field of a coil when it is energized by direct current. The coil is fixed in a ferromagnetic shell and a pair of permanent magnets are fixed in the shell axially of the coil. The armature has a reduced diameter tip or end which is influenced by the magnets when the coil is deenerg...

A control device of a component vehicle route guidance system, the system comprising an on-board section having a navigation computer, and a vehicle-installed display for indicating the driver information data of the system. The control device is constructed as a portable hand-operated unit including a route computer, operating means and its own display, allowing the preselection of the route func...

A portable analyzer (10) is disclosed. The analyzer comprises in combination a housing (12), an optical system comprising a light source (10), a detector (16), and one or more means (18) for activating the optical system in generating a signal in response to a test element, means (45) for manually moving the test element (33) from a first position to a second position corresponding to a point of i...

PURPOSE:To improve the reliability of signals sent to the outside, by providing a monitoring function which opens a gate only during a set time in a device which sends signals to external devices in accordance with a program. CONSTITUTION:A time T1 and another time T2 required for passing software forming external signals are previously stored in a timer 23. When a reset signal A is inputted, ther...

PURPOSE:To apply time supervisory to a questionnaire by comparing a time data added to a reply data, that is, the data added to a questionnaire with the time data of reception time of the data. CONSTITUTION:A questionnaire device TC 20 generating a questionnaire data and a reply device center CPU 30 generating a reply data to a questionnaire data and replying the device 20 are provided. The time a...

PURPOSE:To attain normal system operation by detecting a state that an output of an address latch enable signal is not given even after a prescribed time is elapsed by a runaway detection circuit so as to apply an interruption signal and an acknowledge signal to a microprocessor.
