By jointing a planetar...

PURPOSE:To reduce engine torque with underlap control, upon shifting a gear from clutch disengagement to engagement, or shift a gear with overlap control, when engine torque cannot be reduced, respectively for minimizing engine overspeed. CONSTITUTION:When it is judged that a gear shift from the second gear to the third gear takes place via clutch disengagement to engagement in steps 220 and 230, ...

Ophthalmic compositions, such as those used to care for contact lenses, methods of preserving such compositions, and methods for disinfecting contact lenses using such compositions are disclosed. The compositions may comprise an ophthalmically acceptable, liquid aqueous medium and, included therein, an effective preserving or disinfecting amount of certain oxygen-containing ionene polymers.

A nonwoven fiber and fabric are provided wherein the fabric has comparable strength characteristics to conventional fabrics yet is softer. The fibers are are a blend of a high crystallinity polypropylene polymer and a random block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene. The fabric of this invention may be laminated to other spunbond layers, meltblown nonwoven fabrics or films. The nonwoven fa...

The shredder has a compensator (3.5) between the downstream end of the transfer plate (4) and the counter blade (3.1). The compensator can be fixed to the counter blade or counter blade support. The console bracket in which the counter blade support is embedded has a pref. L-shaped profiled section. The compensator is made from a tough non-deformable material. When the counter blade is worn out it...

A process for multi-coat painting by the electrophoretic application of a primer on a conductive substrate, stoving the primer coat obtained, coating with a colouring and/or effect-providing undercoat and application of a coat of clear lacquer and stoving the undercoat and clear lacquer topcoat, in which a colouring and/or effect-providing undercoat on an aqueous base is applied directly to the st...

A method and an apparatus for collecting plates from two rows of plates travelling side-by-side on a moving conveyor comprising inverting plates sequentially in one row of plates and merging said two rows of plates by depositing a plate from one row onto a plate in the other row to form a single row of double plates each having an inverted plate, and assembling a single row of said double plates i...

A coated porous substrate composed of a hydrophobic polymer which is substantially uniformly coated with a hydrophilic polymeric material. The substrate may be a sheet-like material, examples of which are foams, fibers, and fibrous webs. The fibrous webs desirably will be nonwoven webs. The coating on the substrate is durable to an aqueous medium at a temperature in a range of from about 10 DEG C...

There is described a method for cutting continuously supplied material such as, for example, a strip, a round bar or other metal and non-metal products, intended in particular for production with high feeding speeds of the material. Cutting is performed by means of the blades arranged along the generatrices of two counter-rotating drums (6, 7), that cut the material acting on opposite sides thereo...

A spreader for spreading a fabric having upper and lower sides, transversely spaced edges and longitudinally extending tire reenforcing cords spaced laterally across said fabric between said edges preparatory to rubberizing said fabric in a calender, where the fabric moves in a given path to the calender, the spreader comprising a cantilever mounted mandrel having an outer generally cylindrical su...

The table has a stack carrying plate for carrying a stack of sheets which can be raised or lowered by a drive which is stopped if an object is present in the region to be traversed by the plate. Several sensors arranged in the region around the plate can detect the presence of an object in the monitored region to be traversed by the plate and generate a signal when an object is detected. The signa...
