Granted: 2005-12-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to a gear control of a motor vehicle. The gear control incorporates a gear lever (1) which can be placed in at least two mutually spaced gear positions (V1-5), each of which initiates a particular gear change in a gearbox (12). The gear control incorporates at least one power device (4) connected to the gear lever (1), a position reader (7-10) designed to detect the position of the gear lever (1), and a control unit (11) designed to control the power device (4) on the basis of the position of the gear lever (1) so that movements of the gear lever (1) are only allowed along a particular path (3) which is defined by a control unit (11) containing software.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de réglage de position d'action pour laminage de tôle permettant d'augmenter la précision dimensionnelle d'un produit et d'éliminer les problèmes rencontrés lors du traitement d'une tôle, lesquels problèmes sont imputables aux phénomènes d'ondulation et de bombement. A cet effet, on traduit au niveau de la position d'action réglée, un écart mesuré avec précision d'une valeur d'étirement par laminage après introduction du bord d'attaque d'une tôle laminée de position d'action et on fait de même avec un écart affectant l'épaisseur de la tôle et le faux chanfrein résultant. On s'appuie pour cela sur des valeurs prévisibles des forces de poussée développées par les cylindres pendant le laminage. On commence par calculer, avant de commencer le laminage, les forces de poussée se développant entre la tôle laminée et les cylindres pendant le laminage ; puis on règle pour chacun des cylindres, sur la base des valeurs prévisibles des forces de poussée, la position d'action correspondant aux deux instants de synchronisation correspondant au début du laminage et à la stabilisation des réactions à la poussée produites au niveau des points de support des forces de poussée ; on règle ensuite, pendant le laminage, la tôle au niveau du point d'action, une fois que le laminage est commencé avant le début du laminage ; on surveille la stabilité de la réaction à la poussée après le début du laminage ; enfin on règle à nouveau la tôle au moment où l'on pense que la réaction est stable, et ce, au niveau de la position d'action à l'instant où la réaction à la poussée est stabilisée.

Abstract: The invention relates to an internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder crankcase and a case structure, which preferably has two cylinders or cylinder support rows (2, 3), which are arranged in a V-shaped manner and on whose face an endless drive extends. Said endless drive has a timing chain (14) and is provided for connecting a crankshaft to camshafts (9 to 12) arranged in the cylinder heads (7, 8), whereby the timing chain (14) is covered by a timing drive cover (18). The invention provides that the timing drive cover (18) or the case structure located opposite the timing drive cover has a ribbing (32, 34, 36) over which a specific depositing and/or return of the oil carried along by the timing chain (14) in the direction of the cylinder heads (7, 8) ensues. This results, among other things, in preventing the ventilation of the crankcase, which ensues via the timing chain case, from becoming inhibited.

Abstract: A device switches an electrical connection in accordance with the condition of a device to be monitored, especially to a safety switch (1) for a protective device. The safety switch includes a housing (2,3) in which a switch disk (7) is mounted for rotation about an axis (8). An actuator (5) can be inserted for triggering the switching process. A latching device blocks the switch disk (7). The latching device has a latching element (12a, 12b) guided in the switch disk (7) and movable against the effect of a first energy accumulator (11). In a position in which it blocks the switch disk (7), the latching element (12a, 12b) engages an associated recess (13a, 13b) in the housing (2, 3). A rotatable release element (14a, 14b) disposed beside the switch disk (7), is rotatable relative to the switch disk (7) when the actuator (5) is inserted. When the release element (14a, 14b) is rotated, the latching element (12a, 12B) is slid back parallel to the axis (8) into the switch disk (7) against the effect of the first energy accumulator (11), thereby placing it in a release position.

Abstract: An arrangement for producing fibre-reinforced plastic components from a prepreg semi-product and a dry textile semi-product, comprises a ventilation chamber, a suction line (25) that connects to it in order to reduce pressure, and a textile semi-product chamber with an injection line connection for injecting a resin.  An arrangement for producing fibre-reinforced plastic components from a prepreg semi-product and a dry textile semi-product, comprises a ventilation chamber, a suction line (25) that connects to it in order to reduce pressure, and a textile semi-product chamber with an injection line connection for injecting a resin. The prepreg semi-product (2) is housed in a prepreg chamber, and the latter is partially porous to air. The semi-product chamber has a membrane, which makes it partially non-porous to air and porous to resin, at the ventilation chamber. Reduced pressure in the ventilation chamber results in reduced pressure in the prepreg chamber and the textile semi-product chamber. The plastic components are formed by positioning the prepreg semi-product relative to the dry textile semi-product, producing the ventilation chamber, prepreg chamber and textile semi-product chamber using a membrane and a vacuum film, followed by hardening. Hardening takes place under pressure in an autoclave.
