PURPOSE:To lower the costs required for construction of a wind-activated power plant which is operated at the top of the high support tower, by enabling to decrease the safety factor of strength of the plant through employment of such an arrangement that its windmill and generator unit are mounted on the support tower in a vertically movable manner. CONSTITUTION:A square support tower 15 constitut...

PURPOSE:To reduce shock upon gear shift, by detecting variations in the rotational speed of a rotary system, and by carrying out the low gear shift of a counter speed change gear while the output torque of an engine is changed to maintain the thus detected value at a predetermined value. CONSTITUTION:Rotational speeds sensors detect the speed of an engine and the speeds of members in an automatic ...

PURPOSE:To enhance the drivability and the economy of fuel consumption, by inhibiting the position of a speed change gear unit from being changed into the overedrive position when the sum of the compensating value of evaporation determined in accordance with a detected amount of evaporated fuel and the amount of learing compensation comes to be lower than a predetermined value. CONSTITUTION:There ...

PURPOSE:To improve fuel consumption as well as to make driving feeling better by controlling a gear shift position by considering vehicle load. CONSTITUTION:An acceleration detector 5, a car speed detector 6 and a load detector 7 are provided on an automatic speed change gear 1 for vehicle, and acceleration signal A and car speed signal V are input to the load detector 7. Then, changing amount of ...

A lead/acid battery having markedly improved performance characteristics is designed, in particular, for use as a starter, lighting and ignition battery for automotive vehicles. Compared with conventional batteries for such applications, the novel battery has a substantially increased peak current and a substantially increased cold-start current level per unit weight and/or per unit volume of the ...

The subject of the present invention is a method and devices for triggering an alarm or an automatic unit while avoiding untimely triggering. A device according to the invention, for monitoring premises 1 comprises three detectors: a perimeter detector 2, a Doppler-effect movement detector 3 and an infrared detector 4. Each detector is connected to a monostable 5, 6, 7 which is adjustable between ...

In a transmission of the type which includes a main transmission mechanism equipped with gear trains of a plurality of transmission stages disposed between an input shaft capable of being connected to a crank shaft of an engine and an output shaft parallel to the input shaft and a sub-transmission mechanism transmitting the driving force from the input shaft to a driven gear of the output shaft vi...

Method of producing a knot-free thread connection by splicing, which includes mixing, alternately interlocking and anchoring individual fibers of the threads to be joined to each other in a first pre-splicing operation, and subsequently further and finally intertwining and anchoring the threads to each other in a separate finish-splicing operation, and an apparatus for carrying out the method.

PURPOSE:To monitor the operation of a data processing system after the break conditions are satisfied by delivering a stop signal to a microprocessor when a prescribed period of time passed after the break conditions are satisfied. CONSTITUTION:A detection signal phiC is deliveres for start of the counting action of a counter 22 when a break conditions deciding circuit 21 detects the break point o...

PURPOSE:To detect quickly a defect of an RAM by having a jump to a prescribed address within an RAM area when an interruption is produced and executing interruption processing before a watchdog timer completes its counting action. CONSTITUTION:When a CPU has an interruption (110), a jump is given to a prescribed address within an RAM area before the interruption processing is carried out. A jump i...

A process of making higher density flexible polyurethane foam from waste polyurethane foam is accomplished by powdering the waste polyurethane foam and mixing it with any foamable polyurethane composition and moulding the mixture in a mould. Before mixing the powdered foam is sufficiently dried and screened to get a uniform particle size.
