Abstract: The present invention relates to a flue-tube for reconstruction of chimneys comprising several tubular sections (1, 2) having conically widening end section (3) and conically narrowing end section (4) with the same angles of taper ratio  and that can be connected with each other by inserting the conically narrowing end into the conically widening end. In order to simplify the manufacture of the flue sections (1, 2) and at the same time to achieve exact formation of the cones, these conical end sections (3, 4) follow up with the tubular section (1, 2) body (1a, 2a) at transient external steps (6, 8) and the conically narrowing end (4) is widened by the transient external step (8) with respect to the main body (2a) that its diameter all over its length is at the most equal to the diameter of the tubular section (1, 2) body (1a, 2a).

Abstract: A transmission control system for a vehicle having an engine with an output shaft, a torque converter, a stepped automatic transmission mechanism, and a clutch for engaging and releasing a plurality of gear shafts and input/output shafts with each other so as to change a shift change ratio by operation of the clutch. The control system produces a shift signal output indicating a shift change ratio of the stepped automatic transmission mechanism, detects an input torque of the stepped automatic transmission, recognizes an actual mechanical shift start timing of the stepped automatic transmission mechanism and changes engaging pressure on the clutch in accordance with a manipulation variable. An input torque-manipulation variable relationship between the input torque and the manipulation variable for every shift change ratio indicated by every shift signal and every mode of shift change ratios is stored. A manipulation variable calculation is performed when the shift signal and the shift signal output changes and the actual mechanical shift start timing is recognized. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus and method for selectively removing undesired material from the surface of a substrate provides a flow of inert gas over the undesired material substrate surface while irradiating the undesired material with energetic photons. The invention enables removal of undesired material without altering the physical properties of the material underlying or adjacent the removed, undesired material. Removal effectiveness may be enhanced by utilizing polarized energetic photons. Directing a laser beam to the back side of a transparent substrate may enhance the effectiveness of removal.

Abstract: In order that bridges located in exposed sites do not increase the risk of flooding at high-water, they are raised on at least one side in the form of bascule bridges in order to allow the water to run freely in its bed. The reaching of the high-water level and the high-water itself determine the moment when the bascule bridge should be raised. When the high-water level is reached, water can flow through lateral openings (1) in the bank into tanks (2) and fill the latter. The weight of the filled tanks (2) is sufficient to raise the bascule bridge on one or both sides out of its operating position into the high-water position. The raised bridge allows the high-water to run freely in its entire bed. When the high-water has receded, the water is let out of the tanks (2) and the bridge is lowered into its operating position once more.
