Abstract: Contact with the carriageway and coupling properties of the steering device are to be improved. The hydraulic power-assisted steering system (10) has a double-acting steering cylinder (12) whose piston rod (13) is connected to a steering linkage (11). A working piston (21) which is arranged in the steering cylinder (12) is guided in a longitudinally movable fashion on the piston rod (13). Compression springs (36, 37) which are supported facing away from the piston on the piston rod (13) engage on both sides of the working piston (21). The elastic coupling of the working piston (21) to the piston rod (13) permits relative movements of the piston rod (13) at the zero-point cross-over of moments of the power-assisted steering system (10) despite the compression medium enclosed in the steering cylinder (12). The hydraulic power-assisted steering system (10) can be used for motor vehicles. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an automatic hitch control system wherein a hitch (14) is raised or lowered in response to operation of a valve (44), and the valve (44) is controlled by solenoids (76,78) which are selectively energized by connecting them to ground through switch drivers (92), a safety disconnect relay (90) is provided for preventing uncommanded motion of the hitch (14) such as might occur if the lead between a solenoid (76,78) and its driver (92) should be grounded or if the driver should fail in an "on" state. The relay (90) has contacts connected between the solenoids (76,78) and the positive voltage for operating them. A microprocessor (40) senses hitch position, the position of a quadrant lever (50) and the speed of the vehicle carrying the hitch. From the conditions sensed, the microprocessor (40) determines if the vehicle is moving, if the hitch is captured, if the hitch is moving and whether the hitch control system is in an open-loop control mode in which manual switches (72,74) may be used to control hitch movement. If the hitch is not captured, or the hitch control system is in the open-loop mode, and uncommanded downward hitch motion is detected, the microprocessor (40) energizes the safety disconnect relay (90) to disable the hitch valve (44) thereby preventing uncommanded downward motion of the hitch. When the hitch (14) is captured and the control system is in a closed-loop control mode, feedback signals from the hitch act through a closed-loop to maintain the hitch at the position specified by the quadrant lever (50).

Abstract: In an optical disc servo device, in order to suppress large servo error pulses which occur when the operational mode is changed, an offset pulse (f₁,f₂), having a polarity opposite to that of a large tracking error pulse (a₁,a₂) that occurs in response to an operation mode changeover, is added to a tracking error signal (a) by means (18a-18h). The offset pulse is arranged to have a duration starting immediately before the operation mode changeover and partially overlaps with the tracking error pulse. The offset pulse is generated so as to rise at a timing that is determined based on a wobble signal extracted by a circuit (18a) from the tracking error signal (a).

Abstract: The rotary piston (6) with axis of rotation C makes a relative rotation in an annular cylinder (1) with the axis of rotation (O) which is offset with respect to the axis of the piston (C) by the eccentricity (e). The cylinder (1) has three chambers (2) with cylindrical surface (3) in which chambers the two ends with a cylindrical surface (7) of the piston (6) may engage during the relative movement between the piston and the cylinder. The surface of the piston (6) continually bears on three rollers (5) of the cylinder (1). The relative position and relative movement, respectively, between the piston (6) and the cylinder (1) is rigidly determined by the piston bearing on the rollers (5) and the eccentricity (e) between the axes of the piston and of the cylinder. The machine may be used as a combustion engine, positive-displacement pump, or hydraulic motor. The rotary movements of the piston and of the cylinder are well balanced without imbalance, and the machine can rotate at high speeds without vibrations and without noise. As a combustion engine it allows a high efficiency, minimal pollution, and high specific power. <IMAGE>
