PURPOSE:To relieve a feeling of deceleration at clutch desengagement, by putting an engine throttle back in a closed direction in advance of the clutch disengagement which means the starting of shifting operation in time of shifting up and then causing a clutch to be disengaged after making excess torque smaller. CONSTITUTION:When a processor 9a judges that shift is up on the basis of each signal ...

PURPOSE:To realize such a winding method as being not subjected to false twisting in use of a false twister for filament yarn, by performing an interlacing process on the filament yarn, while winding it in biconical form at a taper angle in the specified range of more than the number of specified traverse frequency. CONSTITUTION:When an interlacing process is performed on filament yarn, a tow coll...

Gas is produced in a ferrous bath reactor containing an iron melt by feeding solid or liquid carbonaceous fuel (e.g. coal) into the reactor and blowing an oxygen-containing gas from nozzles onto the surface of the melt to gasify the fuel. The gas is collected in a space through which the gas from the nozzles is blown. In traversing the gas space, the gas from the nozzles causes partial combustion ...

A practice for applying indicia to the surface of a precious stone wherein a source of laser energy is directed at the stone surface and controlled to inscribe the surface with the desired indicia. The method includes intermittently moving said laser beam to successive positions on said diamond surface along a path corresponding to said indicium, said beam at each position covering a diamond surfa...

A sofa bed mechanism comprising a foldable bed frame having side and end rails and a back support slat extending between the side rails across the width of the bed frame at a position corresponding to the upper back area of a user in a sleeping position. The back support slat is bowed upwardly in its natural state and moves downwardly under load to yieldably resist the load and exert an outwardly ...

A two-part crab holder is provided with specifically contoured surfaces for supporting a crab through various processing means.

A synchronizing device for a transmission, with pocket-like recesses being arranged on those elements, preferably in the clutch- and/or synchronizing ring, which effect synchronization for improved lubrication and cooling of the friction surfaces. The recesses are continuously supplied with oil from a lubricant circuit via an adjoining annular chamber and bores of a shaft carrying the synchronizin...

The device comprises a locking lever having a bearing surface adapted to cooperate with a complementary bearing surface formed on a heel-gripping member. The angle of slope of the two surfaces is such that the resultant force of the bearing force and the friction force passes through the axis of rotation of the locking lever.

The toe abutment member of a ski binding is adapted to cooperate with a ski boot provided with a sole having a truncated front end and a toe-cap extension in overhung relation to the truncated front end. The abutment member comprises a feeler element placed directly beneath the toe-cap extension of the ski boot in close proximity to the toe-cap extension under normal skiing conditions. In the even...

PURPOSE:To detect easily a delay of response time by producing an alarm in case the time elapsed from the end of a program execution period exceeds the designated value. CONSTITUTION:A CPU4 extracts the execution period time (designated value) out of a memory 1 by a check instruction and at the same time extracts the time elapsed out of a timer 2 to compare both times with each other. If the time ...

PURPOSE:To detect automatically the abnormal actiation of a microcomputer by monitoring that a program finishes within a fixed period in the system operation. CONSTITUTION:A counter circuit 5 is triggered by a clock pulse 11 supplied from a synchronizing signal generating circuit 4 to be counted and then reset by an action pulse 12 fed from a microcomputer 1 before it reaches a fixed counting valu...

PURPOSE:To easily and certainly perform the solidification and granulation of a waste material, by a method wherein a pair of non-contact die main bodies each having extrusion teeth are upwardly rotated while a pair of mutually meshed die main bodies each having extrusion teeth are provided thereunder and rotated to continuously treat the waste material. CONSTITUTION:A pari of die main bodies 10 h...

ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE WITH MOVABLE ENDOBRONCHIAL BLOCKER FOR ONE-LUNG ANESTHESIA An endotracheal tube with movable endobronchial blocker for one-lung anesthesia comprising an endotracheal tube with a cuff having a small channel formed within the wall of the endotracheal tube along almost the entire length thereof and a catheter with a cuff for endobronchial blockade named endobronchial blocker which i...

A tape coated with an adsorbent and impregnated with a processing solution which includes silver nitrate, an acid, an alcohol and a glycol is a sensitive detecting means for hydride gases and is stable upon exposure to light.

Polyisocyanurate polymers are prepared by polymerization of polyisocyanates in organic solvents employing trimerization catalysts. The polyisocyanates are reacted with monofunctional active hydrogen compounds prior to polymerization or subsequent to the polymerization. These polymers may be dispersed in polyols for the preparation of cellular and non-cellular polyurethane products having improved ...

A sealing means is disclosed which comprises a cover of aluminum sheet or the like, fastened by gluing or heat-sealing on the surrounding part of the mouth of the container, and which is capable of being removed from the mouth surrounding part by being torn therefrom. The tearable cover projects or extends radially outwardly of the part of the container surrounding the mouth and to which it is fas...

In floating-caliper disc brakes, the friction in the caliper guides hinder movement of the caliper in the brake release direction, thus, increasing the drag of the brake when it is not operated. According to the present invention, the reaction portion of the caliper is provided with an applying piston of small axial length whose axial movement is limited to an amount equal to the required brake cl...

A system for controlling an electro-magnetic clutch of an internal combustion engine mounted on a car which is capable of controlling the clutch current after the gear-changing for providing the partial engagement of the clutch. The electro-magnetic clutch has a drive member secured to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine, a driven member adjacent the drive member, which is coupled to a ...
