IPC: F16H25/22
Filed: 2003-04-24
Abstract: An electric power steering apparatus comprises a rack-and-pinion mechanism and
a ball screw mechanism. The ball screw mechanism comprises a shaft formed a screw
groove (34,68) and a nut formed a screw groove (82,68). A ball-roll path is created spirally by the screw
grooves of the shaft and the nut being opposite each other. A plural number of balls (70) are
contained into the ball-roll path. A ball-return path (88) is connecting both ends of the ball-roll
path so that the balls go through. A circulation path consists of the ball-roll path and the
ball-return path, in which the balls move endlessly. A plural number of separators (78) is
arranged between the balls respectively in order to prevent balls from contacting each other.
A number of the balls is fewer from one ball to three balls than a maximum number of the
balls which can be contained into the circulation path.

Abstract: Method for determination of the force acting on an object (1) forced into the ground using a vibrator (2). Accordingly once the object has been forced into the ground to a given level, the insertion forcing process is stopped.

Abstract: Engine mounts for supporting and isolating an engine from a vehicle chassis are described. The engine mounts generally comprise four main components; an outer housing (10), at least one outer plastics insert (40), an interchangeable double v-shaped inner member (20), and an elastomeric portion. The elastomeric portion may comprise four double chevron elastomeric pads (30), or it may comprise a single web of elastomeric material having a plurality of legs extending therefrom. The outer plastics inserts, the inner member, and the elastomeric portion are generally assembled together to form an inner assembly, which may then be pre-compressed and inserted into the outer housing to form an engine mount. These engine mounts may be easily modified, by changing the inner member, the plastics inserts or the elastomeric portion, so as to provide easy stiffness tuning capability to the engine mount. Additionally, these engine mounts may include anti-tilting, anti-rotating features (22) that help reduce the amount of cocking or rotating of the inner member during engine decking.

Abstract: A process for the production and for the winding of one polyester yarn, preferably multi-filament yarn, which comprises at least about 85 weight %, in relation to the total weight of the polyester yarn, of polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) wherein said process is characterized in that filaments of said polyester yarn is heat-treated, before it is wound on a bobbin, at a temperature in the range of about 70° C. to about 180° C. The method of accomplishing this is by heating the godets that are used in the spinning part of the process, preferably the last pair of godets, to relax the yarns so that the yarn package will not shrink significantly during storage and/or transportation. It is thus possible to obtain at least one PTT yarn package with long-term stability during storage and which is insensitive against elevated temperatures during storage and transport.
