Abstract: A vehicular transmission comprises an engine E, a continuously variable transmission CVT and a starting clutch 5. The driving force from the engine E is transmitted through the continuously variable transmission CVT with a speed change to a countershaft 2, and the starting clutch 5 is used to transmit this driving force from the countershaft 2 to wheels of a vehicle. The continuously variable transmission CVT is hydraulically controlled by a control valve CV which receives control signals through a line 35 from an electrical control unit ECU. After the vehicle has decelerated and stopped, and after the engine E has stopped by an idling elimination control, the electrical current that controls the control valve CV is adjusted almost to zero.

Abstract: An air handling system for a cab of a skid steer loader has an airflow housing mounted on the exterior of the cab and on a rear wall thereof. The housing is within the profile of the loader, that is, below the upper wall of the cab, and within the side frame members. The housing has an air inlet above the engine compartment, and includes a heater core and an air conditioning evaporator, both of which act as heat exchangers mounted in a plenum chamber in which fans are mounted. Ducts lead from the plenum chamber to the interior of the cab. The ducts connected to the air handling housing open through ports in the rear wall of the cab into the interior, and interior ducts carry the air from the plenum chamber for heating, air conditioning or ventilating desired locations of the operator's cab.

Abstract: An electrodialysis water splitting processes incorporates a chromatographic separation step using an amphoteric ion exchange resin to remove contamination salts from a salt solution feedstream and a base product solution. When the chromatographic column is subsequently eluted with water an effective separation of the components is achieved. The separated pure salt stream is forwarded to an electrodialysis water splitter cell for conversion to acid and base. The base product solution (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide) may be similarly purified by passing through a second chromatographic column also containing an amphoteric resin to separate the base from the salt (recovered salt). The process is also applicable in a chlor-alkali process for acidifying the brine feed to the electrolysis cell and for producing high purity caustic from salt.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for modifying configuration information used to control an on-board monitor located aboard a locomotive. Under the control of a remote monitoring an diagnostic center, the on-board monitor periodically collects information from the locomotive and transmits it to the remote monitoring and diagnostic center. When it is desired to change some aspect associated with the data collection process (including the period during which the data is collected, the types of data collected, etc.), it is necessary to change the configuration file that controls the on-board monitor. The configuration file is changed at the remote monitoring and diagnostic center and then transmitted to the on-board monitor.
