Abstract: A multiple plate clutch 11 is provided between a drive shaft 5 continuously extending to front wheels which are main wheels and a driven shaft continuously extending to rear wheels which are sub-drive wheels for distributing a part of the torque on the front wheels to the rear wheels. A tow-way clutch mechanism in which the drive shaft 5 is connected to a single hydraulic pump 26 via a clutch outer 17 and a sleeve 31 locks when the rotation speed of the drive shaft 5 exceeds the rotation speed of the driven shaft 6 beyond a predetermined rate to thereby drive the hydraulic pump 26 so as to put the vehicle in a four-wheel drive condition, irrespective of the straight-ahead or straight-backward running operation of the vehicle, i.e., irrespective of the rotating direction of the drive shaft 5. Since only a minute torque is applied to the two-way clutch mechanism to drive the hydraulic pump 26, the torque transmission capacity of the two-way clutch 32 can be decreased, whereby the miniaturization and cost reduction of the device can be attempted at being attained.

Granted: 2005-03-08
Abstract: An electronic scale uses an analog signal from a load cell which is converted directly to a pulse width modulated output signal. This pulse width modulated output signal represents the weight of an object on the scale and is sufficient to be directly read by a typical microcontroller. Therefore, no amplifier or analog to digital converter is required. The microcontroller then converts a signal representing the weight of the object on the scale to a weight value. A method of using the counter/timers on the microcontroller with synchronized overflow, is disclosed to enable a high resolution value of the pulse width modulated signal, which is then converted into a weight value for object's weight given that the pulse width modulated output signal is proportional to the weight of an object placed on the load cell.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus capable of reducing a waveform distortion of an outgoing light when the light of an optical wavelength in a certain specific narrow range is incident upon an optical fiber.      The apparatus comprises an optical source system 10 supplying an incident light to an optical fiber line 110, a waveform monitor 42 measuring a waveform distortion of a transmitted light which the incident light transmits the optical fiber line 110, and an optical output adjusting unit 44 adjusting an output of the incident light to enter the waveform distortion which the waveform monitor 42 measures within a predetermined range. By adjusting the output of the incident light, a ratio to noise, that is, a S/N ratio is lowered. A noise is existed within a range of wide wavelength relatively. Accordingly, if the S/N ratio is lowered properly, the incident light of which the wavelength is in a wide range can be supplied to the optical fiber line 110. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a waveform distortion of an outgoing light.

Abstract: Selon un aspect, le procédé selon l'invention consiste à prévoir un substrat de cathode carbonée, et à former au moins une couche d'un matériau réfractaire composite à base de borure métallique sur ledit substrat. La surface de ce substrat carboné à enrober est dégrossie avant de former la couche qui la recouvre. Ce dégrossissage des surfaces diminue la tendance des couches à se séparer dans des conditions de fonctionnement à forte température. Selon un autre aspect, le processus consiste à prévoir un substrat de cathode carbonée, et à former, successivement sur le substrat, au moins deux couches d'enrobage d'une matériau réfractaire composite à base de borure métallique. Plus la distance entre la couche et le substrat augmente, plus cette teneur en borure métallique augmente. En graduant la teneur en borure métallique parmi les couches de l'enrobage, l'effet des différences de taux de dilatation thermique entre le carbone et le borure métallique s'atténue. Le métal du borure métallique est sélectionné dans le groupe se composant de titane, zirconium, vanadium, hafnium, niobium, tantale, chrome et molybdène.

Granted: 2008-04-08
Abstract: A spare tire carrier for securement to an end segment of a vehicle bumper and having a swingable arm for travel about horizontal and vertical axes to relocate a spare tire away from the rear of a vehicle and subsequently downward into ground contact. A bracket on a bumper attached mounting plate pivotally carries an arm actuator including oppositely threaded shafts and a sleeve thereon. A ratchet drive imparts rotational movement to the sleeve in a selected direction to either lift or lower the arm and spare tire thereon in a controlled manner and additionally prevents random vertical movement of the arm during vehicle travel. Locks engageable with the bracket and the arm prevent horizontal and upright travel of the arm when the vehicle is underway. The carrier may include a bracket, attachable to a hitch or vehicle frame, with a base plate at its outer end to support the carrier mounting plate. A modified preferred carrier includes an electrical linear actuator to control the carrier arm. The arm is secured by a latch assembly with multiple locks. A support block on the arm facilitates wheel positioning.

Each chamber contains an (n+l) sided piston (2, 5), these being rotatable about a different common axis at a different second speed, and cooperating with the lobes to form expanding and reducing sub-chambers. The first to second speed ratio is (n+1):n ducts (10, 11) incorporating regenerators provide intercommunication between the chambers (3, 6) and are open and closed by the relative piston rotation to exchange fluid or vapor between units. Heating may be provided for one unit, the expansion unit (1), and cooling for the other, the compression unit (4), and the ducts can also incorporate heating and cooling means.
