Title: Vehicle braking-driving force control apparatus
Inventor: URAGAMI YOSHIO
IPC: B60W10/04
Filed: 2006-05-29
Abstract: A vehicle target braking/driving force and a vehicle target yaw moment to be achieved by a control of braking/driving force of each wheel are-calculated. The target yaw moment is corrected, for example, so as to coincide with the product of the correction coefficient determined based upon, the weight of the whole vehicle, the longitudinal and lateral distribution ratios of wheel vertical loads, and vehicle turning direction, and the target yaw moment, whereby the target yaw moment is corrected in accordance with the weight of the whole vehicle, the position of center of gravity of the whole vehicle, and vehicle turning direction. The final target braking/driving force and target yaw moment that can be achieved by the control of the braking/driving force of each wheel are calculated on the basis of the target braking/driving force and the target yaw moment after the correction, and the braking/driving force of each wheel is controlled so as to achieve the final target braking/driving force and target yaw moment.

Title: A process for extracting pure nickel from its various alloys
IPC: C25C1/08
Filed: 1928-04-03
Abstract: 288,605. Soc. Anon. le Nickel. April 13, 1927, [Convention date]. Nickel and other metals, obtaining; electrodes; electrolytes, heating.-Nickel is deposited from nickel chloride solution in a diaphragm cell, the spent catholyte being passed to the anode chamber containing anodes of impure nickel; the liquid from the anode chamber is treated with nickelic hydroxide in a separate vessel to precipitate iron cobalt, arsenic and other impurities and returned to the cathode chamber at a temperature above normal. The electrolyte is maintained at a density between 1.2 and 1.3, corresponding to a content of 150 kg. of nickel per cubic metre. Nickelic hydroxide may be replaced by nickelous hydroxide in the presence of compressed air, a little nickelic hydroxide being finally added to remove all traces of iron. The cathode chamber may be heated electrically or otherwise; this is stated to minimize diffusion from the anode chamber. The nickelic hydroxide employed may be prepared chemically or by electrolysis. A little nickelic hydroxide may be added in the cathode chamber. Copper may be removed from the electrolyte outside the cell by means of hydrogen sulphide, or a carbonate or by electrolysis. Crude alloys before formation into anodes are refined by pulverizing molten drops of the alloy with a jet of gas in a suitable atmosphere thereby converting most of the iron into slag. The process is stopped when the nickel content is 90-95 per cent. The product is cast into rectangular plates. Anodes may be obtained from the oxidized ores of New Caledonia. According to the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a), thin wires are used as cathodes, and such cathodes may also be used in the deposition of metals other than nickel. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 1464657 Magnetic switches CONCORDIA FLUID TECHNIK GmbH 6 March 1974 [9 March 1973] 10110/74 Addition to 1397182 Heading H1N [Also in Division F2] An arrangement for detecting asynchronous movement of control parts (2, 3, Fig. 1, not shown), comprises a magnetic body 19 on each control part symmetrically arranged with respect to each other adjacent a respective free end of a magnetic rod 28 pivoted intermediate its ends about an axis 27 that is parallel to the direction of movement of the control parts, the rod being biased to a position of rest and is rotated out of the position of rest by asynchronous movement of the control parts to produce a signal indicative thereof. Rod 28 is suspended and biased by a torsion bar 15. Horseshoe magnets 33, 33 are connected by soft iron pieces 34, 34 to complete a magnetic circuit. As long as bodies 19, 19 move synchronously, the forces acting on the ends of magnetic rod 28 are equal. An asymmetrical movement causes one end of rod 28 to be attracted and to act through a push rod 20 to operate an electrical switch (21, Fig. 1, not shown). The invention is applied to monitoring a pair of fluid valves, as in the main patent 1,397,182.
