Title: Ratio control system of a continuously-variable transmission
Inventor: ADACHI KAZUTAKA
IPC: F16H61/04
Filed: 1998-02-10
Abstract: In a speed change ratio controller of a continuously variable transmission, a speed change ratio varying mechanism 16 varies a speed change ratio and a speed change ratio servo device 113 controls this speed change ratio varying mechanism according to a signal from a microprocessor 101. The microprocessor sets a final speed change ratio according to the vehicle traveling conditions, and computes a deviation between the final speed change ratio and target speed change ratio. A target dynamic characteristic parameter of the speed change ratio is set according to this deviation, and the target speed change ratio and a command speed change ratio are computed based on the final speed change ratio and target dynamic characteristic parameter. By outputting the command speed change ratio obtained in this way as a signal to the speed change ratio servo device, high response speed change ratio control is achieved.
Patent GB-2324552-A (GB)
Title: Bit torque limiting device
Inventor: TIBBITTS GORDON A
IPC: E21B44/04
Filed: 1998-03-10
Abstract: A torque limiting device allows a drill string to rotate relative to the cutting structure of the bit when a predetermined torque is applied between the cutting structure of the drill bit and the drill string. The torque limiting device utilizes a retaining member which restricts rotational movement of a first component of the torque limiting device relative to a second component. When a sufficient torque load is placed on the cutting structure of the drill bit, the retaining member allows rotational movement of the first component relative to the second component and allows the drill string to continue to rotate relative to the cutting structure of the bit until the torque is sufficiently reduced. The torque limiting device may be an integral part of a drill bit, may be a separate device attached between the drill string and the drill bit or between the drill string and a downhole motor, or may be part of a near-bit sub or incorporated in a downhole motor.

Title: Eccentric vibration isolator
Inventor: HIKOSAKA MICHIHARU
IPC: B60G7/02
Filed: 1998-12-17
Abstract: An eccentric vibration isolator has an inner cylindrical member (10) with a flange member (11) coaxially secured to one end. An outer cylindrical member (20) is disposed around the inner cylindrical member (10) and spaced from the flange member (11) and is parallel to the inner cylindrical member (10) such that an axis of the outer cylindrical member (20) is eccentric from an axis of the inner cylindrical member (20). An elastic rubber member (13) is formed between the inner and outer cylindrical members (10, 20) so that they are elastically connected to each other. A pair of rubber plate-like projections (17) are formed in circular arcs on the surface of the flange member (11) opposite the outer cylindrical member (20) and in a direction perpendicular to the eccentricity. A pressing force added to the flange member (11) is uniformly transmitted to the outer cylindrical member (20) through the plate like projections (17) allowing the eccentric vibration isolator to be uniformly pres-fit into a corresponding member.

Title: Testing arrangement for breaking performance of breaker
Inventor: ARAKAWA SHUNICHI
IPC: G01R31/333
Filed: 1989-01-19
Abstract: PURPOSE:To enable execution of a breaking performance test wherein a recovery voltage of a real system is simulated accurately, by switching an interpole voltage to be high in the initial stage and low after a prescribed time, at the time of a leading current interrupting operation of a test breaker. CONSTITUTION:A short-circuit current is supplied from the secondary winding of a transformer 5 to a test breaker 6 and a recovery current is supplied at the time of breaking thereof. An auxiliary breaker 8 provided between a high- voltage tap of the secondary winding of this transformer 5 and the breaker 6 forms a high recovery voltage circuit to the breaker 6 during a period from the time of breaking of the breaker 6 to a breaking operation after a prescribed time. Besides, an impedance element 9 provided between an intermediate tap of the same winding and the breaker 6 forms a low recovery voltage circuit to the breaker 6 after the breaking operation of the breaker 8. In this way, a high recovery voltage is supplied immediately after breaking of the breaker 6, while a low voltage is supplied after a prescribed time, and thus voltage switching simulating a voltage in a real system is conducted.
