Abstract: The automatic gear-changing process is for a vehicle with a coupling-dependent power take-off connected when the vehicle is in movement. The power take-off (32) is driven by an engine (1) in the vehicle by at least one coupling (3), which in turn is coupled to an automatic stage-geared gearbox (9) in which there is at least one intermediate shaft (11) used for driving the power take-off. The gearbox, engine and power take-off are controlled by at least one control unit (45). The control unit limits the effect take-off in the power take-off during at least a part of the gear-changing process when the intermediate shaft is uncoupled from the vehicle drive wheels, which limits the torque loading of the power take-off over the gearbox.

Abstract: A head unit (1) is inverted so that an outflow port (9) is in the lowest position. Because the top wall (7c) of the buffer tank (5) slopes downwards towards the outflow port (9), all remaining cleaning fluid that was introduced during manufacture is removed. Also, a notch (8b) is provided in the bottom end of an ink introduction port (8). The notch (8b) faces towards the outflow port (9) so that bubbles in the ink exit from the notch (8b) and are guided towards the outflow port (9). The head unit (1) is shipped while the buffer tank (5) is filled with preservation fluid that has high wettability and any openings to the outside air are closed off with covers. When the head unit (1) is used, the preservation fluid is sucked by a purging device and then ink, which has a high affinity for the preservation fluid, is smoothly introduced. Also, the inner surface of the filters (11) are treated to increase the wettability by ink after the filters (11) are fixed to the bottom lid (5a). Afterwards the bottom lid (5a) is fixed to the top lid (7c) to form the buffer tank (5). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a fault in a joint connecting sections of an electrical transmission line together are disclosed. Previously known methods for detecting joint faults require a visual inspection of the joint or testing the transmission line using sophisticated, expensive equipment. This manual testing is expensive and inefficient. In the proposed method, a fault in a joint (301) connecting sections of an electrical transmission line (107) together is detected by measuring the resistance to current flowing through the joint (301) in one and the other directions along said electrical transmission line (107) and detecting a fault in the joint (301) if the measured resistance differs substantially in said one and the other directions. The method has particular utility in relation to low power transmission lines such as telephone lines.

Abstract: Low-cost apparatus is described for treating an effluent fluid stream from a process tool. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises an abatement device (12) and a liquid ring pump (14) for at least partially evacuating the abatement device (12). During use, the abatement device (12) converts one or more components of the effluent stream, for example F2 or a PFC, into one or more liquid-soluble a compounds, for example HF, that are less harmful to the environment. The liquid ring pump (14) receives the effluent stream and a liquid, and exhausts a solution of the liquid and the liquid-soluble component of the effluent stream. The liquid ring pump (14) thus operates as both a wet scrubber and an atmospheric vacuum pumping stage.
