In a sheet cutting machine in which a guidance system moves a blade across a work surface, the blade height is adjusted in accordance with stored data of irregularities of the guidance system and work surface relative to each other. The machine is also operable in a mapping mode in which the blade is replaced by a sensor which is scanned over the work surface, and the sensor output data is stored ...

A tube having holes formed at precise positions is obtained by preparing a tube in which a substantially black synthetic resin film portion (1) and a synthetic resin film portion (2) having a color other than substantially balck are formed alternately in its circumferential direction and then drilling the black synthetic resin film portion (1) by a laser beam (3).

A controlled system for the clutch in a torque converter of an automatic transmission wherein the clutch is normally engaged in a predetermined range of vehicle and engine operating conditions for efficient operation. An atmospheric pressure sensor is used in the control system to disengage the clutch in that predetermined range at higher altitudes to allow the torque converter to function to incr...

A continously variable transmission has a fixed pulley piece and has a movable pulley piece which is supported for movement toward and away from the fixed pulley piece, the width of a groove between the pulley pieces being increased or decreased in order to increase or decrease the radius of rotation of a belt looped around a driving side pulley and a driven side pulley which include the fixed and...

A continuously variable transmission has a fixed pulley piece and a movable pulley piece supported on the fixed pulley piece so that the movable pulley piece can be moved toward and away from the fixed pulley piece, the width of a groove between the pieces being increased or decreased by changing hydraulic pressure so that the rotational radius of a belt looped around the pulleys is increased or d...

A flotation machine comprises a cylindrical chamber having a tapered bottom to which there are secured a pipe for feeding a flotation pulp containing mineral particles of fine fraction, and a pipe for discharging gangue. Secured at the walls of the chamber is a trough for collecting froth concentrate and a group of pulp aerators, whereas arranged axially inside the chamber is a group of tapered sh...

To recover dissolved fluid in a rinsing bath, the fluid is initially recirculated through a membrane for the low concentration to be increased to a high concentration through osmosis, at a second bath. the fluid with a higher concentration is returned to a first bath, where its contents are recirculated through a membrane to extract solvent by osmosis. the solvent is carried away by a fluid behind...

The printed sheets (2) are taken from the printing process by grips on an endless belt. The grips are attached to the leasing edge of each sheet and are taken along the top of the endless feed and down over an end roller (6) and dropped onto a stack. Proof sheets etc. are dropped into a bin (28) in front of the stack by a release mechanism (29) for the grips.The release mechanism has a shaped cam ...

Components, in particular, those with coatings are welded with the use of a device producing a gap at least at the weld location. The device incorporates at least one unit connected at least to one component - directly or by means of one or several force transfer elements - and sets it in an alternating motion. The gap produced by the motion allows evaporated coating material to escape from the we...

Whereas, for reasons of efficiency, high operating rates are necessary for charging and discharging the stacking table 2, the stacking table 2, for example, on the feeder is readjusted via the lifting device, intermittently, such that the topmost sheet can always be freely received by the suction head and conveyed into the machine. The invention is based on the object of proposing a drive and a pr...
