Title: Transmission device, in particular for a motor vehicle
Inventor: ANTONOV ROUMEN
IPC: F16H3/54
Filed: 1991-08-22
Granted: 1994-07-28
Abstract: The crown wheel (2) of a planetary gear (5) is connected to the input shaft (7) while the planet carrier (4) is connected to the output shaft (12). The sun wheel (1) is locked by means of a free wheel (14) when the clutch (9) is released. The device then operates as a reduction gear. The sun wheel (1) rotates with the crown wheel (2) and the planet carrier (4) when the clutch (9) is engaged. The axial forces (FAP?, FAC?), sustained by the sun wheel (1) and the crown wheel (2) when in gear-reduction mode, and resulting from the helical tooth configuration, tend through the stop (17) to compress a spring (18) and release the clutch (9). When in direct drive and beyond a certain torque, the clutch (9) slips, thereby generating the above-mentioned axial forces which compress the spring and accelerate disengaging. The device operates as a reduction gear until the torque on the shaft (7) is reduced, thereby enabling the spring (18) to re-engage the clutch. For use on the input side of a gear box in order to automatically reduce speed ratios during acceleration, the gear box being itself preferably automatically controlled, especially under the effect of axial forces generated by other planetary gears.

Title: Frequency measurement process involving integration - performs second integration which is effected through same integrator used for first integration
IPC: G01R23/09
Filed: 1970-03-03
Abstract: The circuit is used for frequency measurement with measurement of period of oscillation duration. It involves integration of an electrical value and the integrated result is used to give a signal derived from a second integration. The electrical value utilised in the first integration is directly employed, with the aid of the same integrator, in the second integration. The signal is compared with threshold values derived from the constants of the various frequency determinations and a predetermined voltage difference. From the comparison there is obtained a time signal which is proportional to the unknown frequency. A constant voltage can be fed as an input to a switch for an inverted integrator used in a frequency measurement circuit.
