Abstract: A drive shaft assembly (10) includes an aluminum torque tube (12) and aluminum yokes (14) that are arc welded to the ends of the torque tube. The torque tube has a hollow cylindrical end portion (16) at each end that is pressed onto an annular end portion (20) of the respective yoke to form a narrow annular slit (30, 230). The two parts are then arc welded together by forming an electric arc between the parts at the narrow annular slit and a consumable aluminum based electrode (34). The electric arc is sustained with a pulsed high amperage direct current to fill the narrow annular slit with aluminum based material from the consumable electrode in a single pass.

Abstract: The setting of a continuously variable transmission to a neutral range is
detected as a neutral signal. A delayed signal which follows a change of this
neutral signal is generated with a delay, and when this delayed signal indicates
the neutral range, a target idle rotation speed of a diesel engine is increased.
An exhaust throttle is provided to allow the exhaust pressure of an engine to
rise in order to raise heating efficiency in the passenger compartment when a
vehicle is at rest. By avoiding a delay period from the change of the neutral
signal to a change in the delayed signal, torque shock due to the opening or
closing of the exhaust throttle is reduced.
