Abstract: A system for controlling an automatic transmission of a vehicle, wherein a pressure to be supplied to the hydraulic clutch of a target gear is determined based on a desired value of acceleration of gravity acting in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and other parameters including an engine torque, thereby decreasing the shift shock effectively, while ensuring to finish the shift within an expected period of time. Moreover, the engine torque is estimated using a parameter indicative of inertia torque used for raising the engine speed. With this, it becomes possible to determine the engine torque inputted to the transmission, thereby decreasing the shift shock more effectively.

Abstract: A device and method allowing evaluation of the contents of a sealed primary container by means of an integral sensor which is separated from the contents of the sealed primary container yet provides information on quality of the contents of the primary container without breaking the sealed system. The integral sensor device includes a biosensor retained within a plastic construct by a gated-pore membrane. Pores in the membrane open in response to an environmental change in the primary container allowing the contents of the primary container to contact the biosensor. Status of the contents of the primary container can be determined by inspection of the biosensor, visually or via a fiberoptic probe, through the optical window of the plastic construct.

Abstract: An elevator drive (1.1) with traction sheave (1.2) over which ropes (1.3) are passed moves an elevator car (2) and a counterweight (2.1) up and down in an elevator hoistway (1). An elevator control (4.1) arranged in a control cabinet (4) on a landing (E2) is connected with an elevator control (1.4) and with the elevator car (2), and controls how the elevator car (2) moves. Arranged in a control cabinet (4) is also a handle (4.2) which is part of a Bowden cable (4.3), the Bowden cable (4.3) acting on a brake (4.4) of the elevator drive (1.1). There is a handle (4.2) with which the brake (4.4) can be released manually. With the brake (4.4) released, the elevator car (2) moves up or down depending on the difference in weight between the elevator car (2) and counterweight (2.1). For the elevator control (4) the position of the elevator car (2) in the elevator hoistway (1) is of significance. A tensioned toothed belt (10) spanning the height of the hoistway is in contact with an encoder (11) which detects the absolute position of the elevator car (2). For evacuation, a signal device is provided which allows evacuation without looking into the elevator hoistway (1).

Granted: 2006-01-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne un processus pour traiter des matières de la terres telles que des amas de roches afin de prévenir l'exhaure de formations rocheuses acides. On réduit d'abord la concentration de l'oxygène en phase gazeuse dans l'amas de roches (40), ce dernier étant ensuite déplacé et/ou appauvri. Cette opération peut se faire par procédé chimique, physique ou biologique. Au stade suivant, on maintient la concentration de l'oxygène en phase gazeuse dans l'amas de roches (40) à un faible niveau. On peut assurer le découlement autonome de cette opération, par exemple, en recouvrant l'amas de roches (40) avec de la terre et de la végétation, ce qui permet de prévenir l'exhaure de formations rocheuses acides pendant un temps indéterminé. En variante, on peut augmenter la densité de la phase gazeuse de l'amas de roches (40) et la maintenir à un niveau élevé pendant un temps indéterminé. Le procédé de l'invention peut s'appliquer à des amas importants provenant d'activités minières ou industrielles telles que la génération d'énergie électrique ou les opérations de minéralurgie et aux amas de pierres de carrière provenant de mines à la surface ou en profondeur.

Abstract: In a hydrocarbon(oil) well an instrumentation line can be introduced down the well bore 12 by means of control line 16 in the form of pressure tubing conduit fixed on the outside of intermediate casing 14 and set in cement slurry 21 between the intermediate casing 14 and the surrounding rock 13 and reaching to the production zone of interest 15 where hydrocarbon is to be found. A hollow primary member 18 accepts the distal end of the control line 16 at the end of the intermediate casing 19. A secondary member 22 has a terminal control line 27 (sealed at its far end) attached on its outer surface. When in place, the secondary member 22 extends into and through the zone of interest 15. When the secondary member 22 is lowered through the primary member 18, its top end is lowered onto the bottom end of the primary member 18. Coupling means 20 24 automatically engage and angularly orientate so that the top of the terminal control line 27 couples to and seals with the distal end of the control line 16 to form a continuous high pressure tube from the well head 10 to the very bottom of the well, through which a fibre optic instrumentation line can be threaded. An alternative embodiment has a loop 26 of control line on the secondary member 22, coupling to a pair of control lines 16 to form a continuous loop of control line wherein a fibre optic instrumentation line can be passed from the surface down one of the control lines 16, around the loop 26, and back up to the surface in the other of the control line 16.

Title: Tube fitting with indicating means
Inventor: KARKOSIAK JOHN D
IPC: F16B31/02
Filed: 2000-09-12
Granted: 2008-08-12
Abstract: An intrinsic gauging device for a ferrule type tube fitting (10) of the type having a coupling nut (14), a coupling body (12) and at least one ferrule (32), includes a precisely formed marking on the coupling body that is visually perceptible when the coupling is in a finger tight position, and that is covered or visually imperceptible or otherwise has a predetermined relationship with the coupling nut when the fitting has been initially pulled-up. In a preferred form, the marking is realized as a precision groove (50) or recess machined into a surface of the coupling body. The groove can be made more easily visually perceptible such as by roughening or knurling the surface, or coloring the surface, for example. The groove defines an edge (50b) at a precise position that corresponds to a predetermined axial displacement of the nut relative to the body for initial pull-up. The marking may also be formed with a precise dimension such as an axial length to provide a second edge that corresponds to a predetermined axial displacement of the nut relative to the body beyond initial pull-up for fitting assemblies that are remade.
