Granted: 2010-02-16
Abstract: A power transmission comprises a continuously variable transmission CVT, which transmits a rotational driving force from an engine to wheels, a starting clutch 5, which sets variably the transmission capacity of the continuously variable transmission, and a control valve CV, which controls the engagement actuation of the starting clutch 5. While a vehicle equipped with this power transmission is decelerating, the engagement of the starting clutch is controlled to transmit a rotational driving force from the wheels to the engine. Specifically, the engaging capacity of the starting clutch is controlled to bring the difference between the input and output rotational speeds of the starting clutch into a predetermined range, and the control pressure of the starting clutch that brings this difference in the predetermined range is learned, i.e., stored in memory and renewed, as a control value for the next deceleration of the vehicle. _23_

Abstract: An improved air filtration system is provided for a kitchen stove so as to cleanse cooking vapors from the air. The system includes an updraft or downdraft air inlet vent for capturing, either individually or simultaneously, the vapor-containing air generated during the cooking process. The captured air is directed through an exhaust duct to an air filter which removes the cooking vapors from the air. The filtered air is then discharged back into the kitchen. The filtered air may also be dehumidified or heated, and a fragrance may optionally be provided to the filtered air. The air filtration system can also be used simply as an air cleaner for the kitchen with the option of adding a fragrance to the air.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to determine the pressure of a supercritical refrigerant within a heat exchanger of a transcritical vapor compression system. A plurality of measurements, e.g., temperature, are obtained at spaced locations on the heat exchanger and the location of the minimum temperature gradient, i.e., maximum specific heat value of the refrigerant, is determined ("the inflection point"). Obtaining the refrigerant temperature at the inflection point allows the refrigerant pressure to be determined. Alternatively, the temperature of the refrigerant at a second point can be determined together with the change in specific enthalpy between the inflection point and the second point to thereby determine the pressure of the refrigerant. The system can be regulated by controlling the location of the inflection point or by controlling the temperature difference of the refrigerant at the inflection point and a second point, e.g., the outlet of the heat exchanger.
