PURPOSE:To prevent temporary increase of the drive force of drive wheels, by a method wherein gear shifting of a speed change gear is prohibited or gear shifting is effected at a speed slower than usual while a slip state is detected. CONSTITUTION:Signals from an engine rotation speed sensor 20, an airflow meter 22, an output shaft rotation speed sensor 26, and non-drive wheel rotation speed senso...

PURPOSE:To improve speed change feeling by detecting the operating oil temperature of an automatic transmission, advancing the starting timing of shift up when the oil temperature is low, and making engine speed always constant at the time of the completion of shift up regardless of change in oil temperature. CONSTITUTION:A certain arithmetic processing is carried out based on the inputs of a sele...

PURPOSE:To prevent the over-thrust or under-thrust of a load thrust controlling side pulley by correcting an engine-generated torque estimated from a throttle opening and engine speed with the time changing ratio of the engine speed and regulating a load thrust controlling oil pressure in accordance with this. CONSTITUTION:A driving side pulley 12 linked to an engine 1 is connected to a driven sid...

PURPOSE:To increase the capacity of a battery by forming a strap, firmly depressing an electrode plate group to break or flatly deform a spacer, and inserting the electrode plate group to the bottom of a battery jar. CONSTITUTION:A spacer 8 is put at the bottom of an ABS resin-molded battery jar 1, an electrode plate group 2 constituted of a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, an...

PURPOSE:To prevent the leakage of an electrolyte from an electrode pole seal section and the dissipation of the electrolyte from a film by covering an electrode plate group with a laminated film, connecting part of a lead film or a lead plate to an electrode pole, and sealing them with lead or lead alloy. CONSTITUTION:An electrode plate group is covered with a three-layer laminated film 4 applied ...

A toe piece for holding a ski-boot in a safety ski binding, which toe piece is pivotable against a biasing force when excessive side forces occur. The toe piece includes a base plate and a pair of elongated, generally parallel side members, each of which is pivotally mounted at one end of the base plate. A coupling member pivotally connects the other ends of the side members to each other to form ...

A material handling truck utilizing a battery box on which a plurality of truck components and controls are sub-assembled in a location different from a main frame assembly station or stations, which battery box is then transported to an assembly line station at which it is secured to the main frame of the truck, the sub-assembled components and controls being then suitably connected to other truc...

Composite articles with internal surface are prepared by heating a porous compact formed about an insert body of infiltrant material. The insert body has an external surface corresponding to the desired internal surface of the article and consists of a material having a melting temperature less than that of the article. The porous compact has substantially the net shape of the article and is made ...

A positioning system for positioning a movable body, such as an agricultural implement, with respect to a reference path constituted of at least one line of objects or a linear object, such as rows of crops. The system comprises a signal-echo distance-measuring device on the movable object and including a receiver for receiving an input signal representing the distance of the movable object in one...
