PURPOSE:To realize bead setting with high accuracy without any offset of a bead relative to a main drum, by intermediately providing a forced reciprocation mechanism for shifting between a condition where a front end face of a bead-retaining ring is on the forward side of a front edge of a bead-receiving ring and a condition where the front end face is on the rear side of the front edge. CONSTITUT...

PURPOSE:To quicken the blow-up of an engine while relieve a shock due to variation in clutch torque by momentarily reducing said clutch torque close to zero when an accelerator, which has been released, is stepped on. CONSTITUTION:With an accelerator stepped on, the output of a switch 50 is turned to an H level, while the output of a NOR gate 58 is turned to an L level, with a pulse signal gone of...

PURPOSE:To minimize a time-lag in the change gear operation performed on the way of a steeply sloping road and the like by supplying an air cylinder with air by a fixed time earlier before a shift head reaches its neutral position in the select operation followed by the shift operation of gear position. CONSTITUTION:Various conditions of a running vehicle, such as shift signal 9, engine speed 13, ...

A control system for a motor vehicle provided with a continuously variable transmission and with an electromagnetic clutch for transmitting torque of an engine to the transmission. The transmission has a line pressure control valve having ports and a spool, a hydraulic circuit for supplying oil to the line pressure control valve so as to shift the spool to control the line pressure. When the clutc...

PURPOSE:To prevent a vehicle speed from being fluctuated when a brake is excessively applied by configurating a device in such a way that an inlet port of a cylinder device, which is rendered effective to brake a vehicle upon exceeding of a flow rate from a pump which discharges the flow rate proportional to a reversing speed, is communicated with a discharge port of the pump by way of a stop valv...

PURPOSE:To operate an engine brake and a normal brake with a pedal by previously storing the relationship between the brake pedal position at engine braking and the engine target rotating speed and controlling the actual engine rotating speed to the target rotating speed. CONSTITUTION:An engine brake setter 21 outputs an engine target rotating speed signal ne against the brake pedal position signa...

PURPOSE:To increase reliability and lengthen life by pouring gelled electrolyte in a plurality of plate groups which are inserted into the small cell, and making the electrolyte contact with the plate groups through the upper part of a reinforcing partition. CONSTITUTION:Each plate group 12 is inserted into each cell formed by dividing a container 1 into a plurality of blocks with reinforcing part...

A bipolar lead-acid is disclosed in which a conductive metal substrate is used for the bipolar plates which may comprise either a multi-layer metallic substrate defined as C/A/B/D, layer C having a layer of positive active material adhered thereto and layer D having a layer of negative active material adhered thereto, C can be lead or lead alloy or a conductive tin, titanium dioxide or ruthenium o...

A control device for an automobile has at least one sensor (8) for detecting an operational state of the automobile. An output from the sensor is applied to a sample and hold circuit (11) which is adapted to provide a time displaced output to a hierarchical group of neural elements (13). The neural elements operate upon said time displaced signals by varying the weighting of the signals and/or thr...

A method of structurally modifying a silica monomode optical fibre (4) by launching optical power into the fibre (4) from a Nd:YAG laser operating at 1.064um and raising the temperature of a portion of the fibre (4) by bringing a metal film (12) into contact with a polished half-coupler block (6) to absorb energy from the laser (2). A structural modification of the fibre is initiated which propaga...
