A four-wheel vehicle drive system comprising a power unit having an output shaft in a lateral direction of the vehicle; a transmission gear unit having input and output shafts parallel with an extension of the axis of rotation of the output shaft of the power unit; a power transfer gear rotatable about an axis parallel with the transmission input and output shafts and driven by the transmission ou...

A four-wheel drive system for a vehicle, comprising an engine having an output shaft rotatable about an axis in a lateral direction of the vehicle; a transmission gear unit including transmission input and output shafts parallel with the axis of rotation of the engine output shaft; a first wheel drive gear unit comprising power splitting gear means to split driving power from the transmission outp...

A four-wheel vehicle drive system comprising an engine having an output shaft in a lateral direction of the vehicle, a power transmission gear unit including input and output shafts in lateral directions of the vehicle, a final reduction gear rotatable about an axis parallel with the transmission input and output shafts and adapted to be driven by the transmission output shaft, a main transaxle ca...

A method is disclosed for achieving improved reduction efficiency and economy in the reduction of particulate metal ores, e.g. iron ore, in a vertical shaft, moving bed reactor having a reduction zone in which a heated reducing gas is caused to flow through a portion of the ore bed to reduce the metal ore thereof to metal; e.g. sponge iron. The improved efficiency and economy is achieved through a...

Means for coupling an independently suspended medical x-ray source and detector for lateral fluorographic studies such as angiography. When coupled, the x-ray source and detector move vertically in opposite directions, move horizontally toward or away from each other, and pivot about horizontal axes so the distances between the focal spot and isocenter of examination and between the isocenter and ...

A manually powered winch has two geared drive trains. Both originate from a simple set of gear teeth (7) formed into the diameter of a drive input shaft (5). The final drive, common to both gear trains, to an internal gear track (18) on the drum (3) of the winch is one part (12) of a two-part gear (8,12). The part (12) is directly borne by a hub (20) on an axle (10) in the winch. Its gear teeth ar...

The invention relates to a device for removing a coating from a surface (32) of a pipe end (8) which is to be connected to a socket or the like in particular by heating-coil welding. There are difficulties with regard to a sound joint as a result of an oxide coating, impurities or damage to the surface. To resolve this difficulty, a device is proposed which has preferably two arms (2, 4) which can...

This invention concerns improvements to procedures to splice yarns (20-21), whether textile yarns or otherwise, the splice being obtained by coupling two single untwisted yarns (20-21) and by reconstituting the twists thereafter, by which improvements a part of the single yarns (20-21) is untwisted until twists of a sign opposite to the sign of the original twists have been imparted, such part the...

In illustrated laminographic embodiments, longitudinal body layers are scanned by arranging individual x-ray tubes along a path or surface parallel to the body layer. The intensity of each conical beam focused on the body layer may be individually selected according to the absorption of the associated beam path through the body, for the sake of a fluoroscopic image of uniform brightness. For scann...

A method for producing fabric reinforced tapes of vulcanizable rubbery material, to be wound and stocked in bobbins, comprising progressing the formed tape under means adapted for applying a thin layer of anti-adhesive zinc stearate on one face of the tape, preparatory to winding the tape into bobbins the turns of which are to be prevented from sticking to each other.

PURPOSE:To shorten the time for the signal read from a memory cell, by dividing a signal line to arrange a sense amplifier of the second stage in the center of a sense amplifier row of the first stage. CONSTITUTION:Address circuits 6 and sense amplifier circuits 2 of the first stage are arranged at constant intervals narrower than those of memory cells 1 on the side of the longitudinal row of mem...

PURPOSE:To decide the propriety for the selection of the RAM address, by giving a sum check to the contents of an ROM containing a hash data which is transcribed to an RAM and deciding the coincidence of comparison carried out between the result of the sum check and the hash data. CONSTITUTION:The contents of an ROM are transferred to an RAM by an amount equivalent to 2K bytes from the head addres...

The invention relates to a deciphering device for keys, especially cylindrical keys with a profiled key shank. It is characterised by a track receiving the key shank and by slides mounted so as to be freely displaceable into the track.
