PURPOSE:To enable to transmit driving force in both of forward and reverse directions and to rotate driven shafts freely at a high speed, by the use of a clutch mechanism adopting all types of pawl members, rollers and sprags as clutch elements. CONSTITUTION:A pair of pawl members 10a, 10b are supported in a pivotally movable manner on a pin 10 which is formed integrally with a driving shaft. In d...

PURPOSE:To prolong fuel cut time and reduce fuel cost by transferring a drive at the highest speed section to coasting operation and furthermore by downshifting a transmission under driving conditions where a brake pedal is stepped down. CONSTITUTION:An NOR gate 230 receives an idle signal S1 in L level and a brake signal S under driving conditions where the brake pedal must be stepped down during...

A lead base alloy containing 1.0%-2.8% antimony, 0.1%-0.4% tin, .005%-.03% selenium, and .004%-.012% silver is disclosed for lead-acid battery grids, the grids in turn being particularly useful for preparation of maintenance-free batteries having superior characteristics. The alloy preferably contains no arsenic other than trace impurity levels; however, in some applications, the presence of minor...

T-2643-288 A LEAD-ACID BATTERY ELEMENT STACK AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME An element stack and a method of making same is provided in which assembling a relatively large number of relatively small electrode plates into an element stack is facilitated by positioning a first set of electrode plates onto a strip of separator material in pre-selected locations and then affixing such plates to the strip. ...

An adjustable band fits around a wearer's upper arm for carrying, in a pocket of the band, a musical tape player, radio or the like, which cannot otherwise conveniently be worn or carried. An object in the pocket is protected during outdoor use. Additional pockets can be provided.

An electrostatic system analyzer for checking the voltage at various test points in a high voltage electrostatic spray coating system. The analyzer is in the form of a gun having a telescoping cylindrical barrel with an exposed electrode at its forward end, and a meter at its rearward end, and having a downwardly extending conductive handle. The forward portion of the analyzer body, which is axial...

When a state machine such as a computer is inoperative, the flow of data can occur in so many different ways that it is at times difficult to ascertain the portions of the state machine that are causing the problems. Whether the problems are caused by original design or later failure of components, the present invention can determine at least the general area of the problem and often the specific ...

PURPOSE:To prevent a trouble that is due to misresetting of a switch, by detecting a key switch signal on a CPU console panel and breaking a switch circuit to switch the voltage of a high or low margin test. CONSTITUTION:The output voltage is set at a high level at a position U of the 1st switch 15 for a high margin test; while the output voltage is set at a low level at a position L for a low mar...

PURPOSE:To prevent a trouble due to the misresetting of a switch, by breaking the current path of a switch circuit to switch the voltage of high or low margin test when the initializing signal of a CPU is detected. CONSTITUTION:For instance, the initializing signal obtained from initialization that is executed first is applied to actuate a CPU20 while the 1st switch 15 is kept at a position U. Thu...

PURPOSE:To simplify the constitution of a logical signal checking circuit, by applying a priority deciding circuit which is one of standard logical circuits to said logical signal checking circuit. CONSTITUTION:Logical circuits r0-r7 are connected reversely in order to the input terminal of the 2nd priority deciding circuit 15. The outputs of two priority deciding circuits 14 and 15 are connected ...

A puncture sealant package for incorporation into a pneumatic tire is formed by coextruding a puncture sealant, and a skin forming material. The ribs are formed in an initially circular package profile as chords. After flow in a sheet die, the chords form divider ribs making small angles with the encapulating skin. The compartments formed by the ribs prevent flow of the sealant toward the center o...

A releasable ski binding comprising separable binding parts including clamping members for releasably securing a ski boot to a ski and responsive to a predetermined force applied to the binding parts for a predetermined period of time for separating the binding parts. The clamping members are coupled in frictional engagement, one of the members being movable at a controllable rate of movement in r...

The interlocking system according to the invention, by the use of multicomputer systems, achieves fail-safety without electromechanical storagetype switching means. The division of the interlocking territory into smaller geographical control areas is independent of the arrangement of these control areas. The size of the control areas is limited so that microcomputers can be used in the associated ...

A process for the preparation of styrene homopolymers or copolymers by suspension polymerization of monomers which contain dissolved styrene polymers from a preceding suspension polymerization, in the presence of sparingly soluble metal phosphates as suspension stabilizers, wherein, before the polymerization is started, the monomer phase is dispersed in an aqueous phase, containing a dissolved min...

A furnace enclosure is provided in which one wall includes tubes of different passes which are free to move longitudinally relative to each other. A seal plate and filler means are disposed outside of the enclosure to provide for gas-tightness.
