Separate fluid conduits join each chamber...

PURPOSE:To make a lead-acid battery lightweight and high power by making the width of a negative plate and that of a separator equal but wider than that of a positive plate and covering the side of the negative plate and that of the separator with an acid resistant resin. CONSTITUTION:A copper or copper alloy thin plate is expanded and lugs and feet are formed in the unexpanded part of the thin pl...

PURPOSE:To invariably obtain the optimum control characteristic by displacing an engine output adjusting member to increase the ratio adjusting the driving torque when the road surface mu is low, and changing the shift ratio of a continuously variable transmission to increase the ratio adjusting the driving torque when the road surface mu is high. CONSTITUTION:The rotation of an engine 10 is trans...

PURPOSE:To prevent generation of air pollution substances such as MOx, SOx, etc., by generating power through a CO reheat gas turbine in which carbon dioxide gas is produced by using oxygen gas as a combustion oxidizing agent to perform combustion of carbon monoxide gas and circulated as working fluid. CONSTITUTION:In a CO reheat gas turbine 1, in a combustor 4, combustion of carbon monoxide gas C...

PURPOSE:To prevent a slip in a friction engaging device by detecting a discrepancy in correspondence of a rotary speed between rotary members in the upstream and downstream sides of the friction engaging device and reducing an engine output when the discrepancy exceeds a predetermined limit. CONSTITUTION:In an electronic control unit 4, clutches C1 to C4 and brakes B1, B2 are selectively engaged t...

Procedure and device for cutting pieces of material to order, from a band of material, by using a cutting table equipped with a vacuum installation for holding the band of material in place and a workable, longitudinal and traverse slide on the cutting table, running along the desired cutting lines, which is controlled by a data processor for marking and data control, as the carrier of a cutting t...

To remove residue from almost empty roving bobbins, travelling from a number of spinning machines, the nature of the clinging fibre material is identified. It is removed and collected according to type. The collected fibre material is initially stored by type and then recycled by return to the spinner, or it is reduced to flocking or broken down into fibres. The type of wound material (11) clingin...

A thixotropic electrolyte (7) is inserted between positive and negative electrodes (3) in a covered housing (1) with an excess pressure relief valve (16) in the cover (2). The central filling port (8) has a projection (11) into the gas space (12) which accepts a closure element (14) and from which a tube (15) leads towards the top of the accumulator when it is laid down. This tube is formed in one...

A navigation apparatus arranged in such a manner that the background image and a marker image denoting the user's vehicle position are moved in the opposite directions to each other when the vehicle speed is raised. As a result of the relative movement, the coincidence between the marker and the map image is realized. Since the background image and the marker image are moved in the opposite direct...

The electrode is made from a strip of fine fibre (2) bonded to an adhesively coated band of fibre netting (6) to which edging strips (5) are glued so as to define the depth of filling with electrolytically active lead oxide paste (3). Two such assemblies are pressed back-to-back on opposite sides of a current drain plate (4) with acid diffusion barriers along its edges made of very thin adhesively...

PURPOSE:To enhance working efficiency, to dispense with a surplus space for stock and to make installation cost inexpensive by temporarily stocking one feed table holding a green case on the circulation coveyor of the region reaching a feed-out position from a feed-in position. CONSTITUTION:Since a plurality of feed tables 21 are placed on a circulation conveyor 1, one preceding feed table 21 hold...

PURPOSE:To widen the width of a hysteresis between an applied voltage and the luminance of luminescence by composing a photoconductive layer with a hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer and layering metal layers having a specific work function on both sides of the photoconductive layer. CONSTITUTION:A photoconductive layer is composed with a hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer 7 and metal layers 6...

A tyre having a pair of axially spaced-apart bead regions each reinforced by an annular bead hoop around which one edge of a carcass reinforcing ply is wrapped and a filler strip positioned in the axially outer region of the bead which extends circumferentially around the bead, has one edge radially inwards of the bead hoop and one edge axially outwards of the bead hoop and comprises substantially...

A method producing a low-density flexible polyurethane foam comprising stirring a starting mixture containing a polyhydroxy compound, a polyisocyanate, a foaming agent and a catalyst to thereby foam the mixture, in which a foaming agent selected from the group consisting of water, formic acid and its salts is used in an amount of at least 10% by weight as water equivalent per 100 parts by weight o...

A process for the production of moulded articles having a density of at least 250 kg/m<3> from polyurethane foams having a compact surface by expansion, in a mould, of a reaction mixture of a polyisocyanate component, a reactive component consisting of at least one organic polyhydroxy compound, blowing agents and optionally further auxiliaries and additives, the blowing agents used being salts of ...

2065367 9106607 PCTABS00005 The present invention concerns a process for preparing a treated blend which contains pigment material dispersed in a continuous phase of water and a polyester material. The invention also concerns compositions prepared from such process. The polyester material of the treated blend is linear, contains a sulfomonomer, and has an average particle size of less than 1 .mu.m...

This bracket with jaws (1) has a housing (2), extending in its longitudinal direction and accommodating a release spring (13), and a sole holder (7) which is arranged on a bolt (6) extending essentially perpendicular to the upper side of the ski. The bolt (6) is mounted with its lower end in a bearing body (3). In order to make automatic setting of the sole holder (7) possible even when the t...
