Abstract: A method for diagnosing damage in the shift control actuator of an automated manual transmission, involving at least one of the following steps: (a) determining a shift control actuator is damaged if an actual period needed for synchronizing a gear differs from a nominal time period for synchronizing the gear; (b) moving a shift-control actuator to a limit stop after selection of a gear, and determining a shift-control actuator is damaged if the limit stop that has been reached is an internal limit stop of the shift-control actuator and not a gear transmission limit stop; (c) determining the shift-control actuator is damaged if an actual speed during the overlap phase is not within a speed range within which the engine speed is expected to lie during the overlap phase.

Abstract: A wheeled object or vehicle, such as a hospital bed (10) comprises a main chassis or frame (12) supported by a plurality of supporting wheels or rollers (11), which define the vertices of a polygonal supporting surface (21). The bed, which is usually moved by a walking person, is provided with at least one motor driven driving device (15), including at least one driving wheel or roller (18), positioned within said polygonal supporting surface. The driving device is rotatable about a substantially vertical axis (14) in relation to the chassis or frame so as to change the angular position of the driving wheel (18) in relation to the chassis or frame. Biasing means, such as a compression spring or a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder (22, 34) is provided for biasing the driving device (15) in a direction away from the main chassis or frame (12) and towards the supporting surface (21). The biasing force is controlled such that the driving device (15) id kept in close non-skidding contact with the ground or floor surface (21) without lifting the supporting wheels (11) out or contact with the supporting surface.

Abstract: A mobile communication capable of re-selecting a cell in accordance with a residual amount of a battery so that the number of times of re-selecting a cell is reduced in accordance with the residual amount of the battery is provided. Information on a plurality of cells having different priorities in a hierarchical cell structure (HCS) is received and a cell measuring reference is re-set in accordance with the received cell information or the residual amount of the battery so that the mobile communication terminal is connected to a cell selected among the cells measured in accordance with the re-set measuring reference. A cell is re-selected in accordance with information received from the connected cell or cells adjacent to the connected cell and a cell measuring reference is re-set so that cells of low priorities are measured in accordance with the residual amount of the battery. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of times of re-selecting a cell and to thus reduce the residual amount of the battery.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process and apparatus for improving the catalyst life and efficiency in a gas flow catalyst bed reactor assembly. The reactor comprises an outer reaction vessel (10), an inner displacement cylinder (12), and an annular catalyst bed (18) surrounding the displacement cylinder (12) having a top half and a bottom half. Fluid flow improvement is achieved by adding at least one baffle (30,31,32) to the top half of the displacement cylinder (12) to improve uniformity of fluid flow in the reaction vessel (10) and across the catalyst bed (18). Also disclosed is a process for improving fluid flow uniformity in a gas phase reactor comprising an outer reaction vessel (10) , an inner displacement cylinder (12) having a top half and a bottom half and a reaction outer surface and an inert inner space, and an annular catalyst bed (18). The process comprises conducting fluid flow simulations using actual reactor conditions. During simulation, baffles (30,31, 32)are added on the outer reaction surface of the displacement cylinder (12) to improve simulated fluid flow. The baffles (30,31,32) are added to the displacement cylinder (12) by entering the inner inert space of the cylinder (12) and attaching the baffles (30,31,32) to the reaction outer surface from the inner inert space. The process allows the modification of existing reactors without disassembling the reactor.
