The invention relates to a computer tomography apparatus for determining the absorption distribution in a relevant zone of a body, this zone being irradiated by unattenuated radiation, while the part of the body which is situated outside this zone is irradiated at the most by attenuated radiation. The radiation outside the relevant zone is attenuated in accordance with the invention by means of ab...

In order to prevent a cyclic repeating of switching of vehicle gears to higher speeds for automatic transmissions at increased running resistances, an electronic control system is provided with a prognostic circuit which predicts the acceleration which can be expected after switching to a higher speed and which allows the switching to higher speeds only if this acceleration is above zero. If an ad...

In the frame of the rotor, facing each hammer, there is a recess parallel to the radius of the rotor so that the hammer can pivot round its shaft over 360.degree.. The recess facing each hammer (4) extends, i...

A method of repairing tires in which an assembly is formed comprising a tread strip applied to the worn surface of a tire carcass with a layer of binder material sandwiched between the tread and the surface of the carcass. A pair of annular shells are applied to the tire sidewalls and seals are formed at the inner and outer edges of the shells in engagement with the tread strip and the beads of th...

PURPOSE:To perform accurate measurement of special liquid, by providing concave parts on both side surfaces of rotors that are slidably contacted with the side surfaces of a measuring chamber wherein rotors having noncircular gears whose teeth are partially removed are enclosed, and forcibly lubricating the rotary shafts of the rotors. CONSTITUTION:When the special liquid such as COM (coal oil m...

PURPOSE:To detect the system fault of the infinite loop state when interruptions are masked, by preparing two or more instruction to reset a fault detecting timer and resetting this timer by their combination. CONSTITUTION:A fault detecting timer cannot detect the program runaway if instruction of the runaway program include an instruction RST. Consequently, the fault detecting timer is reset only...

A tire for two-wheel vehicle comprising a casing formed of a crown with a tread and two sidewalls each terminating in a bead intended to rest on a tire rim and an inner tube glued in manually removable manner to the inner wall of the casing in the region of the crown is improved due to the fact that the inner tube is glued under circumferential tension to the casing so that its inside equatorial r...

End seals on the opposite ends of a pleated annular paper filter element are formed by applying a thixotropic heat foamable paste of polyvinyl elastomeric material to depressions 14 in two mould plates 10 which are then applied to the opposite ends of the element, the assembly of the plates and element then being subjected to heat to foam and cure the elastomeric material (and resin with which the...
