The transmission responds to applied electrical signals to indicate automatic gear changing. Respective signal generators provide a signal representing the vehicle velocity and a signal representing the direction of the accelerator pedal. The second signal is used to obtain a third signal representing the depression rate of the accelerator pedal. All signals are received by a control device pro...

The gear change operations are carried out in response to a condition signal relation to the speed of an internal combustion engine. The engine speed is determined by detecting the operation speed of a brake pedal of the vehicle and a variable filter circuit for receiving the condition signal and for removing any high frequency component of the condition signal. The frequency response characteri...

A yarn splicing system for splicing a warp in a loom wherein a yarn splicing apparatus is provided with apparatus for searching for a yarn end on the warp beam side of a cut warp. The yarn splicing apparatus may also include a liquid tank for removing size of a sized yarn and a pneumatic yarn splicing device for splicing the yarn end with one end of an additional yarn.

The cage portion of a cage and roller assembly has two annular end rims joined by cross-bars around the periphery of each rim. The rims and cross-bars define multiple pockets which hold the rollers. The cross-bars are configured to contain the rollers within these pockets; in addition, coined ramp surfaces and land surfaces on the cross-bar outer surfaces extend radially outward farther than the o...

1. A surgical instrument with a roughened surface for use in operations in which the emission of a CO2 laser strikes in the operation site, characterized in that the surface of the instrument is composed of gold, nickel, molybdenum or a copper nickel alloy and is of medium roughness which amounts to at least 10 mu m.

A system for controlling a drag torque of an electromagnetic clutch on release of the accelerator pedal of a motor vehicle with a continuously variable belt drive transmission. A detector is provided for detecting whether vehicle speed is lower than a predetermined low speed. At the low vehicle speed, the drag current is gradually reduced as the vehicle speed increases.

An optical waveguide (1) having a detour is disposed at either or both of the light-receiving and light-emitting ends of a dispersion optical system in a spectroscope. Even though light being propagated through the optical waveguide has specified polarizing characteristics, the light is depolarized by passing through the optical waveguide and many times reflecting therein. Accordingly, unpolarized...

Zwei durch Laserschweißen miteinander zu verbindende beschichtete Dünnbleche stoßen im Verbindungsbereich entlang der Schweißnaht mit unterschiedlichen Krümmungsradien aufeinander und sind beidseitig der Schweißnaht voneinander beabstandet. Auf diese Weise werden sog. Entgasungskammern zur Aufnahme der sich beim Schweißvorgang bildenden gasförmigen Beschichtungsstoffe gebildet.; Two coated thin me...

The major technical proposal is that the height of the originate accumulator is lowered for 100 mm, and the plug at the liquid filling hole point which is bolt hole plug is replaced by the duty plug with locking structure; the thickness of the positive plate of the accumulator and the thickness of the negative plate of the accumul...

A leather has on at least one of its surfaces a coating which covers a base leather. The coating takes the form of a cover layer (1) which planarises the base leather surface (4) underneath. This cover layer has at least at its surface (33) which is remote from the base leather surface (4) an appearance which predeterminably characterises the base leather (2). The cover layer (1) is composed of an...

A process is disclosed comprising mixing selected shrinkage-minimizing halocarbons with selected two-carbon hydrogen-containing halocarbons, HCFC-123, HCFC-123a and HCFC-141b, and using this mixture as a blowing agent to produce minimal shrinkage closed-cell polyurethane foams.
