Abstract: An annular friction-clutch facing (30) for a multi-disk clutch (10) includes an inner
edge (32) and an outer edge (34) defining a width (w) of the facing (30). The facing (30)
further includes a first group of grooves (136, 236) formed on the facing (30) and having a
first cross-sectional area. Each groove of the first group (136, 236) has a first opening (38) at
the outer edge (34) and a second opening (40) at the inner edge (32) remote from the first
opening (38) and is adapted to direct lubricating agents across the width (w) over a
substantial area of the facing (30). The facing (30) further includes a second group of
grooves (42) formed on the facing (30) and having a second cross-sectional area smaller than
the first cross-sectional area. The second group of grooves (42) includes first and second sets
of grooves (44, 46, respectively). The grooves of the first set (44) are disposed in intersecting
relationship with the grooves of the second set (46). The second group of grooves (42) is

Abstract: An electrically controlled valve (100) having a
mechanism for controlling a non-linear force is disclosed
herein. An embodiment of the inventive valve
has a retainer (44), a actuator tube ( 34), a coil
(30) and a housing (38). A pole piece (12) is seated
within the actuator tube. An armature (20) is disposed
within the actuator tube adjacent to the pole
piece. A conical gap (16) is defined between the pole
piece and the armature. A washer (18), which may be
flexible an non-magnetic, is disposed within the
conical gap. The washer counteracts the effect of a
non-linear magnetic force by providing a non-linear
force in opposition. The result is that the flow of
fluid though the valve as well as the valve pressure
is stabilized, in contrast with the prior art.

Abstract: With the deposited-film forming apparatus according to
the first embodiment of the present invention, the distance
between the tubular barrel and the evaporating section can be
varied, unlike the prior art deposited-film forming apparatus
and hence, the efficient formation of the deposited film on the
surface of each of the work pieces accommodated in the tubular
barrel and the inhibition of the softening of the formed film
can be achieved simultaneously. Therefore, it is possible to
inhibit the damaging of the deposited film formed on the surface
of each of the work pieces and the production of projections
on the deposited film, and to form a deposited film at a high
quality in respect of a corrosion resistance and the like and
at low cost. 
     With the deposited-film forming apparatus according to
the second embodiment of the present invention, the distance
between the accommodating section defined in the tubular barrel
and the evaporating section can be varied and hence, this
deposited- film forming apparatus also exhibits an effect similar

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Steuern eines selbsttätig schaltenden Getriebes, bei der die Steuerung von der in einer Stellung D eines Fahrstufenschalters normalerweise gewählten automatischen Betriebsart ohne Auswahl durch die erste Wähleinrichtung zeitweise in die vom Fahrer beeinflusste Betriebsart wechselt, wenn eine zweite am Lenkrad angeordnete Schaltwippe betätigt wird. Hiermit wird die automatischen Betriebsart nicht dauerhaft verlassen, denn nach Ablauf einer eingestellten Zeitdauer wird wieder die automatische Betriebsart aktiv. Die Zeitdauer beginnt mit jeder Betätigung der Schaltwippe von neuem zu laufen. Eine Rückkehr in die automatische Betriebsart ist nur dann möglich, wenn die aktuelle Querbeschleunigung unterhalb eines vorgegebenen Grenzwertes liegt und gleichzeitig Zugbetrieb herrscht. Um eine solche Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Steuern eines selbsttätig schaltenden Getriebes zu schaffen, das hinsichtlich seiner Fahrbarkeit weiter verbessert ist, wird vorgeschlagen, nach einer kurzzeitigen Anwahl der manuellen Betriebart die verbleibende Zeitdauer vor einer Rückkehr in die automatische Betriebart auf einen Mindestwert zu setzen, sobald eine der genannten Bedingungen, bei der eine Rückkehr in die automatische Betriebsart unterdrückt wird, nicht weiter vorliegt.
