Title: Inserting a column of stabilising material into the ground
Inventor: OCKIER MARTIN LOUIS
IPC: E02D3/02
Filed: 1997-03-12
Abstract: A stabilising column is created by a shaft 2 with a top end provided with an inlet and a tapered bottom end 1 having an outlet for stabilizing material. The outlet is provided with closing means 4 and 5 moveable between an open position and a closed position by chains 9 and 10.

Title: Temperature responsive automatic clutch control
Inventor: SALECKER MICHAEL
IPC: F16D48/06
Filed: 1998-04-30
Abstract: A power train of a vehicle 1 has an automatic clutch 3 and a control unit 13 which causes one or more actuators 13b to change a rate of torque transmission in response to signals transmitted, via, eg, a bus, from various sensors, eg throttle valve sensor 15, engine RPM sensor 16, temperature sensor 60 etc. The control unit 13 controls the clutch 3 so that the vehicle 1 carries out a crawling movement when a transmission 4 is in gear, an engine 2 is idling, brakes 40 are not applied and a gas pedal 30 is not depressed. While crawling, clutch temperature is monitored and the rate of torque transmitted by the clutch 3 is varied, from a first value to a second value, as a function of the monitored temperature so as to keep the vehicle crawling, without causing damage or accelerated wear of the clutch 3. In other embodiments, for example, a time period is employed to alter the rate of torque transmission.
