PURPOSE:To prevent a reslip from occurring as well as to eliminate a feeling of physical disorder in accelerator operation by installing a map selecting means which prohibits any transition to a lower control characteristic map even if a slip factor exceeds the set slip factor through the specified time since shift-up detection. CONSTITUTION:In this controller, there is provided with a slip factor...

PURPOSE:To prevent a reslip from occurring as well as to eliminate a feeling of any physical disorder in accelerator operation by installing a fully closing means which makes a throttle valve into full close during the specified time in preference to throttle valve on-off control by a specified control characteristic map at the time of shifting up with the increase of a slip factor. CONSTITUTION:I...

An automatic speed change control method for a self-movable vehicle wherein, during running of a self-movable vehicle of a type that a power of an engine is transmitted to driving wheels through a clutch and a finite-stage gear speed changer, a speed-change ratio is calculated from both an actual speed and an acceleration pedal stepping value, the clutch is disengaged after detecting the above spe...

A method of making coreless hollow filament bundles comprises winding a hollow filament 20 around a drum 22 having a number of axially extending vanes 24. The winding is formed in layers, each layer being a helix and adjacent layers being wound in opposite directions axially of the drum so that all the turns of the helix forming one layer cross all the turns of the helices forming the adjacent lay...

PURPOSE:To perform drive-switch over between two and four wheels and change over between low and high speeds when driving four wheels by installing a planetary gear type reduction gear mechanism and differential gear. CONSTITUTION:A four-wheel-driven transfer unit 3, connected to a transmission 2, consists of one set of reduction planetary gear and one set of planetary gear-type differential gear ...

A single body of plastic material has three converging coplanar radial arms and a perpendicular central hole. Each arm has an axial seat with a blind bottom to receive one end of the tubular structure and means for locking said end. The central hole is designed to receive a rotation hub.

One end of a drawstring which is connected to a catamenial tampon at the other end is pulled downwardly by suction while an intermediate portion of the drawstring is convoluted around a hollow mandrel to form a closed loop. The one end of the drawstring is then drawn into the mandrel by suction to convert the loop into a relatively loose knot which is or can be tightened by exerting a pull by suct...

An improved method for producing a protective-coated steel pipe in a construction work site by spirally winding and melt-bonding a belt-like thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet around the outer peripheral surface of a steel pipe, for use as a construction member in corrosive circumstances, the method provides a winding step winding the sheet around the outer peripheral surface of the steel pipe wh...

The invention comprises a shaped filter and a filter correction circuitry for computerized tomographic scanners. The shaped filter is a generally U-shaped block of filter material which is adapted to be mounted between the source of radiation and the scan circle. The U-shaped block has a parabolic recess. The filter material may be beryllium, aluminum, sulphur, calcium, titanium, erbium, copper, a...

The incidence of peritonitis is reduced in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis by irradiating the peritoneum access tube connection with ultraviolet (UV) radiation so as to have an antimicrobial effect on the fluid flow path defined thereby prior to draining and infusion of dialysis fluid therethrough. The apparatus for effecting UV irradiation of the dialysis fluid flow path includes a hous...
