Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying a uniform membrane coating to a substrate, such as a honeycomb structure, having a plurality of through-channels, wherein the through-channels have an average diameter of less than or equal to 3 mm. The method includes providing a liquid precursor comprising membrane-forming materials to the substrate and applying a pressure differential across the substrate. The pressure differential causes the liquid precursor to travel uniformly through the through-channels, depositing the membrane-forming materials on the walls of the through-channels and forming the membrane on the walls of the through-channels. The apparatus includes a chamber capable of holding the substrate and of maintaining a pressure differential across the plurality of through-channels.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission (1000) having a plurality of traction planets (1008) arranged angularly about a main drive axis (1010), each traction planet (1008) having a tiltable axis of rotation (1009A, 1009B), the continuously variable transmission comprising: a first stator plate (1014) coaxial with the main drive axis (1010), the first stator plate (1014) having a plurality of slots; a second stator plate (1016) coaxial with the main drive axis (1010), the second stator plate (1016) having a plurality of radial slots (1044 - Fig.10); and wherein the slots (1040, 1044) guide the tiltable axes of rotation (1009A, 1009B) of the traction planets (1008); and wherein the first stator plate (1014) is configured to rotate relative to the second stator plate (1016) characterized in that the slots of the first stator plate are radially offset slots (1040 - Fig.10). Operation: Due to the radial offset slots, relative rotation between the stator plates results in skewing of the traction planets and the skewing results in forces which tilt (automatically) the traction planets to an equilibrium condition. Each tilted position constitutes a different transmission ratio.

Abstract: In a hydraulic driven vehicle of the present invention, an engine 1 drives a variable displacement hydraulic pump 2. A hydraulic motor 3 is driven by hydraulic oil supplied from the hydraulic pump 2. A rotation number of the engine 1 is detected by an engine rotating speed detecting means 15, and a driving speed is detected by a driving speed detecting means 16. A control means 12 determines a set value for pump displacement of the hydraulic pump 2 by calculating with a function. The function is set so as to make the set value in a high speed zone larger than the set value in a low speed zone. Accordingly, in a HST type hydraulic driven vehicle, fuel efficiency is improved in the high speed zone.

Abstract: A method for assisting a vehicle driver in exiting from a lateral parking space in a longitudinal direction with respect to a roadway is disclosed. The method involves measuring at least the length of the parking space to obtain measurement data, determining a parking-space-exiting trajectory at least on the basis of the measurement data, starting a process of exiting the parking space, and carrying out the process of exiting the parking space with simultaneous collision prevention by monitoring a distance from a plurality of objects which bound the parking space. During the exiting process, the steering of the vehicle is controlled automatically, and the automatic control of the steering concludes when the vehicle has reached an intermediate position from which the vehicle can exit the parking space using a single maneuver. The method concludes as soon as the parking-space-exiting trajectory allows for collision-free exiting from the parking space.
