Abstract: The method involves engaging claws (5, 6) of one coupling half into claws (5, 6) of other coupling half, and measuring distances between two adjacent claws, with the help of a single light beam that is directed on an area (8) from the claws. The claws interlock into each other. The distances between the claws are compared to one another. Information is derived from the distance measurement by an angle of twist of the halves. An independent claim is also included for a device for implementing a method of measuring a distance between claws in a claw coupling.

Abstract: A speed change mechanism for cars for switching between stepless and stepped speed change states and a controller capable of suppressing the switch shock caused when the speed change state is switch-controlled and improving the durability of the engaging device. A speed change mechanism (10) capable of switching between electrical stepless and stepped speed change states by switch-controlling the disengagement and engagement of a switch clutch (C0) or a switch brake (B0). When the speed change state is switched to the stepless speed change state by disengaging the switch clutch (C0) or switch brake (B0) by means of switch control means (50), a first motor (M1) is controlled by motor control means (82) so as to generate a torque. Consequently, the torque is adequately changed from the reaction force torque by the switch clutch (C0) or switch brake (B0) to the reaction force torque by the first motor (M1). As a result, the switch shock caused by switch control and the rotational speed difference of the engaging device itself are suppressed, and the workload in the disengaged state is reduced, thereby improving the durability of the engaging device.

Abstract: The islands-in-sea type composite fiber of the present invention comprises a sea part containing an easily soluble polymer and 100 or more island parts containing a hardly soluble polymer, per fiber. In a cross-sectional profile of the composite fiber, each of the island parts has a thickness in the range of from 10 to 1,000 nm and the intervals between the island parts adjacent to each other are 500 nm or less. The islands-in-sea type composite fiber is produced by melt spinning the sea part polymer and the island part polymer mentioned above through a spinneret for an islands-in-sea type composite fiber and taking up the spun fiber at a speed of 400 to 6,000 m/min. Dissolution and removal of the sea part polymer from the composite fiber gives a group of fine fibers having a thickness of 10 to 1,000 nm and useful for clothing, industrial materials and other applications.

Abstract: A personal care system includes an electrical shaver and a cleaning device for cleaning a shaving head. The cleaning device further includes a displacing system for displacing its supporting member relative to a cleaning fluid container from a first position in which the shaving head, when the shaver is supported by the supporting member, is not in contact with the cleaning liquid in the container, to a second position in which the shaving head is at least partially immersed in the cleaning liquid in the container. The cleaning device does not need any pump for displacing the cleaning liquid. Rather, activation of the shaving head that causes, e.g., rotation of a cutting unit, provides a sufficient pumping effect for the cleaning liquid when the shaving head is immersed in the cleaning liquid.

Abstract: A clamping unit, particularly for an injection molding machine, includes at least one moving platen which is moveably arranged on a frame element. At least one hydrostatic support is provided in an area between the platen and the frame element for facilitating back and forth displacement of the moving platen to thereby avoid speed-dependent friction values. Operation of the clamping unit is realized by building up pressure in a hydrostatic support before the moving platen is initiated for displacement so that the moving plate is slightly raises platen in relation to the frame element. After displacement of the moving platen, the pressure in the hydrostatic support is decreased again.
