PURPOSE:To prevent variation of driving torque at the gear-shift-time, so as to raise the driving efficiency, by compensating the throttle valve basic opening degree which is decided based on the opening degree of an accelerator and other parameters, according to the differential value of the rotating speed at the gear-shift-time. CONSTITUTION:The basic opening degree of a throttle valve is decide...

A method for catheter tipping includes applying to a catheter blank a layer of a noncuring aminoalkyl terminated polysiloxane lubricant, mounting the lubricated blank on a mandrel and advancing the mandrel-catheter assembly into a heated die so that the die causes the heated tip of the blank to assume the shape of the die. The catheter may then be cut beyond the shaped tip and easily removed from ...

The output of the engine (6) is reduced by the slip control as a degree of slippage of the driven wheels (4,5) on pavement gets larger. Upon the slip control, the shift control of the automatic transmission (8) is brought into a state in which the speed stages are unlikely to be shifted.

The recovery of rare earth material from defunct mounted circuit boards is achieved by a process which begins with a milling operation (1) to provide a fine particle mix. Coupled to the milling unit, a centrifuge (13) is supplied with compressed air (15) through a closed path (11,2,19) between the mill and centrifuge. Different size components are separated and drawn off through base exits (23). I...
