The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling a car equipped with an automatic transmission having a lockup clutch. According to the control method of the present invention, when the lockup clutch is in the lockup state, a variation of a generated torque is detected. When the range of the torque variation detected exceeds a predetermined value, an engine torque is redu...

PURPOSE: To provide a rotation transmitting mechanism capable of preventing any radial load caused by tensile force of a belt from being applied to a rotary shaft. CONSTITUTION: A housing 32 in which a ball spline nut 30 engaged with a rotary shaft 12 is stored and fixed is rotatably supported by a vacuum container 2 by a first bearing 34, and a pulley 24 having a belt 26 hung thereon is born via ...

Many optical components now use a microelectronic substrate called an optica l micro- bench as a base from which to build. Conventional devices use one or more methods of fixing the various elements together and/or onto the semiconductor micro-bench. Typically these conventional methods require special coatings to be deposited on the substrate, and the use of a separate bonding material, e.g. sold...

The arrangement has a control cam (12) with a spiral driven by an electric motor (13), if appropriate via a gearbox, and engaged by a drive pin joined to a stop plate (4) for parallel displacement of the stop plate. The cam is connected without play to a potentiometer or pulse counter (17,18) for accurate rotary position detection of the control cam and hence of the stop plate.

A reflecting liquid crystal display unit that reflects light entering from an observer side to display an image. The reflecting liquid crystal display has a composite layer of cholesteric liquid crystal material and polymer resin, and an an isotropic scattering layer. The an isotoropic scattering layer scatters light entering this layer at a relative large incident angle passes light entering this...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable removal of a recessed part formed in a joint surface and non-joining part developed on the back surface from the inner part of a machining member by rejecting a projection and also, to enlarge variable tolerance range of the inserting depth of a rotary tool during joining, by arranging the projections on the front and the back surfaces of the joining part of the mac...

PURPOSE:To provide an electrostatic accelerating type ink jet recorder which is little influenced from a kind of an ink solution and variation in physical properties, and can record highly precisely by a method wherein discharge of the ink is enabled to be easily controlled without necessitating a high voltage pulse generation circuit requiring a high costed high tension proof IC. CONSTITUTION:A r...

In the embodiment, the entire cylindrical surface of a cylindrical object such as a cigarette is optically inspected by first inspecting at least 180 DEG of the circumference of a first side of the surface, and then inspecting at least 180 DEG of the circumference of the other side. Each of the inspection stations illuminates more than 180 DEG of the circumference and images the surface from tw...
