In the formation of a tread pattern having many sipes (30), a combination of pitch segments (15, 16, 17) having a plurality of kinds of pitch lengths (L1,L2,L3) is selected so as to substantially match with the tread circumference (T) and an inner peripheral length (L) of a sector member (36) constituting part of a split mold (35) in order to prevent intersect of the sipes with any dividing positi...

Because of inherent delay in magnetic flux propagation in the magnetic circuit, the transient opening magnetic force on the armature does not build as rapidly as the injector driver circuit may be capable of commanding. This transient force is augmented without increasing the package size of the magnetic circuit. A fuel injector has a novel solenoid actuator magnetic circuit that has slots, convol...

The utility model belongs to the technical field of a portable solar range, which belongs to the aspect of a solar rang, and the utility model principally solves the problems that a solar rang needs the advantages of high heat-collecting temperature, convenient carrying, and simple structure. The portable solar range is divided into a reflector, a furnace frame structure and a regulator; the refle...

The utility model relates to the automatic water-supplying device of a vacuum-tube solar water heater. The utility model is characterized in that a valve body is arranged in a water tank, a pressure valve and a float valve are arranged in the valve body, and the ball valve is connected with a float barrel through a connecting rod. Because one pipeline is adopted to replace two pipelines to realize...

The utility model relates to a fixed wet-type maintenance-less lead-acid accumulator, which belongs to the improvement carried out to the internal structure of the conventional lead-acid accumulator, in order to cause the fixed wet-type accumulator achieve the maintenance-less goal. The utility model primarily additionally adds a sealing liquid interlayer on the liquid surface of the electrolyte o...

The energy-saving cover structure for building features that after a heat collecting plate is arranged on each of ridges of said cover's base, external and internal transparent guards are covered over it, several symmetrical scarf slots, where photoelectric plate is embedded in, are attached to opposite sides of adjacent ridges, and said whole structure is finally attached to external surface of b...

A network controller for monitoring the status of a network includes a hierarchical object-based data structure representative of the network to be controlled. The data structure includes a set of hierarchically linked objects representative of elements of the network and each object includes object parameters including an object status parameter (e.g., a fault parameter) and, with the exception o...
