PURPOSE: To provide a base light in weight and excellent in corrosion resistance by composing the same of a titanium oxide lower than the degree of stoichiometry oxidation containing a specified composition. CONSTITUTION: In a conductive ceramic base used for an active material in a lead/acid storage battery, a titanium oxide lower than the degree of stoichiometry oxidation made of a titanium oxid...

PURPOSE:To assure safety in case of faults of a sensor or an actuator by closing a throttle valve when the opening of the throttle valve reaches the maximum value in slow driving or when the slipping of a driving a wheel is detected, and by cancelling constant speed driving control by means of the closing of the throttle valve when a brake panel is used in a constant speed driving mode. CONSTITUTI...

PURPOSE:To assure safety in cases of the failure of a main sensor or actuator by having a limiter actuated when the opening of a throttle valve exceeds a predetermined level in a slow driving mode, while in a constant speed driving mode, by restoring the throttle valve to a standard position by means of a brake switch. CONSTITUTION:In a throttle actuator 5 provided a limiter 21, which is actuated ...

PURPOSE:To improve transmission feeling when the engine output is lowered by controlling the opening of a throttle valve so as to keep an acceleration rate of change for a car to a predetermined standard rate of change, prior to the automatic switching of plural gear stages of a synchronous interlocking variable transmission. CONSTITUTION:At a controller 16, input signal is processed as well as dr...

PURPOSE:To prevent excessive decrease in engine output, and to obtain smooth shift-up by not executing the decrease of the engine output that is concomitant with the shift-up when the estimated engine speed after the shift-up is not more than a predetermined value. CONSTITUTION:At a control unit U1 for transmission, the decision whether the transmission is executed or not is performed based on a p...

The separation of organometallic compounds and/or metal carbonyls from their solutions in organic media is effected according to the invention with the aid of semipermeable membranes of an aromatic polyamide.

A system and apparatus for accurately delivering rubberized sheets from a supply, roll of stock material containing an intervening liner to an assembly station for subsequent assembling into an air spring or similar article of manufacture by eliminating the heretofore formation of a "free loop" therein. The supply roll and a liner take-up reel are rotatably mounted on a carriage transversely movab...

A block gauge is made of a ceramics produced by sintering zirconium oxide (main component), yttrium oxide (3-7 wt.%), and aluminium oxide (0-20 wt.%), the marking is done by laser irradiating under an inactive gas atmosphere or reduced pressure. -

A gem holder for fixedly holding a plurality of gemstones 2 during notching by means of a laser comprises a plurality of relatively flat strips 14, each having a plurality of datum notches 18 cut across at least one of its longitudinal edges, and a base plate 10, at least the upper surface of which is provided with at least one set of substantially parallel slots in which the strips are insertable...

The invention relates to a lead accumulator with a thixotropic gel consisting primarily of sulphuric acid and a gel former as an electrolyte, whereby the electrolyte consists of two different phases, a liquid, gel former-free phase, by which essentially the pores of the active materials are filled in, a solid phase, as a thioxotropic gel, by which the electrolyte space especially between the elect...

A chuck is adapted to be cantilever-mounted for rotation about a longitudinal axis thereof in a winding machine for threads, such as synthetic plastics filament, glass fiber strands and so forth. The chuck comprises a chuck member and an element movable radially thereat between retracted and extended positions under the action of centrifugal force when the chuck is rotated about its longitudinal a...

The invention relates to a method of generating a layer image from a plurality of single images, the image processing errors which locally occur in the single images being substantially eliminated in the layer image. To this end, the image values for the individual layer image points are formed by that image value of the image points geometrically situated with the layer image point which correspo...

The present invention discloses a blood cleaning hollow fiber membrane characterized by comprising a hydrophobic porous hollow fiber membrane and having a hydrophilic thin layer formed at least on the inner surface of said hollow fiber membrane by the grafting of a hydrophilic compound through the agency of a gamma ray, a method for the cleaning blood and an apparatus therefor using the same.

A feeder for use in a sheet-feed printing machine, in which, while a pile board loaded with a paper sheet pile (A) through a pallet (4) is moved up, paper sheets are fed to the printing unit through a side register lay, comprising a sensor movable along a threaded shaft (33) according to the rotation of the threaded shaft to detect a side edge of the paper sheet pile, which is moved over the dista...

The process comprises the steps of creating three reference points at an object and taking a tomogram of the object such that the three reference points define a first set of positional data in the tomogram. The object is then non-rigidly placed on a support for operation thereupon by an instrument which is mounted at a flexible arm containing sensors for sensing the movements of an instrument tip...
