PURPOSE:To improve the starting property of an engine by providing a valve for opening/closing the delivery oil passage of an oil pump and a drain oil passage and providing a means for outputting a signal to operate the valve in the opening direction when engine speed at the time of cranking is below a certain value. CONSTITUTION:A solenoid valve 42 is operated by ON/OFF signals inputted from an e...

PURPOSE:To reduce a speed change shock by switching over the ON/OFF of a solenoid to be a condition after carrying out speed change when an actual rotation ratio is changed to a previously set rotation ratio for each type of speed change. CONSTITUTION:The rotation speed of the input shaft and output shaft of a speed change gear mechanism is detected by their respective detecting means and their ro...

PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of the striking sound of a one-way clutch at the time of speed change in the case of the up-shift speed change between speed change stages in which the one-way clutch is operating, by engaging a clutch which is placed in parallel to the one-way clutch at the time of power off. CONSTITUTION:When the start of a defined up-shift speed change is detected by an up-shif...

PURPOSE:To reconcile both traveling property and economical property by employing a pattern in which the change in engine speed with respect to the change in engine load is small in a low load zone while being large in a high load zone as a speed change pattern in a fuel consumption performance-oriented mode while using the reverse pattern in an output performance-oriented mode. CONSTITUTION:At th...

PURPOSE:To prevent the deterioration of working fluid and the fusing failure of parts which are readily affected by heat by providing a lock-up means which is responsive to signals from a coupling condition detecting means and a stator rotation detecting means and which carries out direct connection when a stator fails to rotate in spite of a coupling condition. CONSTITUTION:During the detection o...

PURPOSE:To improve maintenance by providing a removable cover body on a transmission case, installing a hydraulic actuator and oil passage closing valves on this cover body, and separably linking shifter stays and the hydraulic actuator together by means of a linking tool. CONSTITUTION:Shifter stays 2, 3 are provided in a transmission case 1, and a hydraulic actuator provided outside the case 1 is...

PURPOSE:To prevent the water level in a condenser from being rapidly lowered and prevent an emergency shutdown of a plant from occurring, by switching a drum water level set point from a normal set point (upper set point) to a starting/stopping set point (lower set point) when the water level in a drum is lowered due to a rapid lowering in the quantity of heat exhausted from a gas turbine. CONSTIT...

Condensed steam containing oil emulsified therein and/or salts dispersed or dissolved therein is purified by supplying the condensed steam to an arrangement of two concentric anodes 6 and 8 with a cathode 7 therebetween, the electrodes being formed of porous corrosion resistant material and subjected to an impulse direct current. Electrolysis of water present causes gas bubble formation and format...

This invention relates to an improved solenoid operated fluid control valve particularly adapted for use as a vacuum control switch in a motor vehicle. One aspect of this invention is the provision of a coil assembly adapted to be wound and terminated using completely automated processes. This feature is provided through the use of a bobbin structure having protruding coil winding posts which posi...

A dual deadman timer circuit functions to reset a dual mode microprocessor in the event of loss of program control. The microprocessor has high and low power requirements corresponding to its two operating modes, and the deadman timer circuit also adjusts the output power level of an associated two-level power supply to ensure that sufficient power is available for the full operation of the microp...

PURPOSE:To feed a test film into an analyzing area of an analyzer exactly by a prescribed quantity necessary for analytical measurement, by a method wherein a large number of needlelike projections provided on the circumferential surface of a test film feeding means are made to engage with the test film and feed same intermittently by a prescribed amount. CONSTITUTION:A test film feeding means 50 ...
