Abstract: The invention relates to a droplet separator for separating liquid droplets as well as the solid matter and condensate associated therewith from a gas flow (a) brought into rotary motion. The droplet separator (1) comprises a gas flow duct (11, 13, 15) and a droplet separation tube (12) surrounding it. The gas flow duct is formed of three successive parts placed at a distance from one another in the direction of flow, which parts are a flow tube (11), a cone part (13) tapering in the direction of flow, and a continuation tube (15). The diameter of the front end of the cone part (13) is smaller than the diameter of the flow tube (11) and the rear end thereof is at a suitable distance from the continuation tube (15). Flow gaps are formed between said successive parts (11, 13, 15) of the flow duct, which gaps provide an open flow connection between the flow duct and the droplet separation tube. The outermost layer (c) of the gas flow (a) is passed through the first gap from the flow duct (11) into the droplet separation tube (12) for separating the droplets, and the gas flow made free from droplets is passed through the second gap from the droplet separation tube (12) back into the flow duct (15).

Abstract: In a vehicle in which a torque generated in an engine is transmitted to driven wheels through a torque converter and an automatic transmission, when a speed ratio e in the torque converter is equal to or larger than a predetermined value (e.g., 0.85), and the accuracy of estimating a capacity .tau. of the torque converter is low, an estimated engine torque Ti is multiplied by a torque ratio k of the torque converter to estimate a drive torque Td. When the speed ratio e in the torque converter is smaller than the predetermined value, and a response lag is produced in the transmission of the engine torque, a drive torque Td is estimated from an engine rotational sped Ne and the speed ratio e in the torque converter. During shifting of the automatic transmission, a drive torque Td is estimated from a wheel speed V. Thus, a correct drive torque can be estimated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for optically detecting the position of a moveable test object (10), especially a mirror or reflector. A measuring beam (6) that is produced by means of a light source (2) is reflected by the test object (10) and reaches a position-sensitive light detector (12) which carries out a conversion into information corresponding to the position of the test object (10). The aim of the invention is to improve said method in such a way that the position of mirrors, especially rotating mirrors, can be quickly and optically measured, whereby the optical construction is simple. The measuring beam (6) is focussed onto the light detector (12) by means of an optical system (8). A signal matching the centre of gravity or the maximum (Is) of the intensity distribution of the focussed measuring spot is determined on the basis of the measured values obtained by means of the light detector (12).
