Abstract: A cutting head for a cord-type mower driven by an engine is disclosed. The cutting head includes a rotor capable of rotating about an axis and a bobbin with a cord wound on it. The bobbin can rotate relatively to the rotor about the axis in the rotor. The cutting head includes two types of cord feeding systems. The first cord feeding system automatically feeds a cord in response to cord wear. The second cord feeding system feeds a cord in response to a manual tapping operation executed during driving of the cutting head. The second cord feeding system disconnects one of the bobbin and rotor from the engine in response to the tapping operation.

Abstract: Applicant has demonstrated that by appropriately shaping the laser gain region one can control the polarization direction of semiconductor vertical cavity lasers and enhance their transverse mode selectivity. Specifically, configuring the transverse cross section to regions have a length-to-width ratio (AC/BD) in excess of 1.2 favors emission with polarization in the long dimension at the fundamental mode. A cruciform structure favors emission with switchable orthogonal polarization. The transverse shape can be configured by dry etching a particular cavity shape in index guided lasers or by forming a shaped ion implantation region around gain guided lasers.

Abstract: This polymerization apparatus comprises a generally cylindrical polymerization vessel having a straight cylindrical section, a cooling means for cooling a content of the polymerization vessel, and paddle impellers, each having impeller blades, for agitating the content inside the polymerization vessel by being rotated on a center line, as a shaft, of the cylindrical section of the polymerization vessel, wherein the polymerization vessel has an inner capacity of 100 m³ or more and has 1.5 or more in a ratio L/D of the length L of the cylindrical section to the inner diameter D of the vessel, wherein three or more of the paddle impellers are arranged on and along said center line, and wherein polymerization-inhibitor charge openings are arranged at predetermined positions on the interior surface of the polymerization vessel in such a manner that each of said predetermined positions substantially corresponds to each of positions where the paddle impellers are arranged. The method for stopping polymerization comprises using said polymerization apparatus and charging a polymerization inhibitor into the polymerization apparatus through its polymerization- inhibitor charge openings during polymerization of a vinyl chloride monomer or a mixture of monomers containing the vinyl chloride monomer as a primary component. According to the invention, after a polymerization inhibitor was charged into the polymerization vessel, the inhibitor can be rapidly diffused therein, so that the polymerization reaction can be rapidly and completely stopped by a less amount of the inhibitor even when an abnormal reaction occurred in the vessel.

Abstract: A monitoring (10) device is provided for use in association with a limit switch or similar mechanically actuated device (16) in order to permit its end of life to be predicted. The system uses nonvolatile random access memory (18) to store a count which represents the number of occurrences of one of two alternative events. The first event is the occurrence of a number of switch actuations and the second event is the lapse of a predetermined period of time. When either of these two events occurs, a microprocessor increments a count in the nonvolatile memory unit and clears both the clock (12) and the volatile memory parameter. When the number stored in the nonvolatile memory represents a number of actuations estimated to be appropriately equal to the total life of the switch, this condition can be signaled to a sensor bus by a communication circuit (22). Alternatively, a light emitting diode can be alternately energized and de-energized to represent the number of actuations having exceeded the predicted end of life total.

Abstract: A photodetector module contains a package (1), a photodiode (3), a preamplifier (4), a bypass capacitor (2), a cap (7) with a lens (6) and a sleeve (8). A parallel plate capacitor (2) is used as the bypass capacitor. The parallel plate capacitor (2) is mounted at the center of the package. The photodiode (3) is stuck on the parallel plate capacitor. Since the photodiode is mounted upon the capacitor, the module optimises the area for mounting a capacitor. The fiber, the lens, the photodiode and the capacitor align along a central line with rotational symmetry. The two-story structure reduces the size of the module and the cost of production by decreasing the number of the parts and the steps of production.

Abstract: A power output apparatus (20) of the invention includes an engine (50), a clutch motor (30), an assist motor (40), and a controller (80) for controlling the clutch motor (30) and the assist motor (40). In response to an engine stop signal to stop operation of the engine (50), the controller (80) successively lowers a torque command value of the clutch motor (30) and a target engine torque and a target engine speed of the engine (50) to make the engine (50) kept at an idle. The assist motor (40) is controlled to use power stored in a battery (94) and make up for a decrease in torque output to a drive shaft (22) accompanied by the decrease in torque command value of the clutch motor (30). When the engine (50) falls in the idling state, supply of fuel into the engine (50) is stopped to terminate operation of the engine (50). In this state, the drive shaft (22) is driven and operated only by the torque of the assist motor (40), which is generated by the power stored in the battery (94). This control procedure can stop the engine (50) without varying the torque output to the drive shaft (22).

Inventor: KUBO TAKAYUKI
IPC: F16H59/36
Filed: 1996-12-18
Abstract: In power-on, high-vehicle-speed and high-torque conditions, a control unit sets a torque allotment ratio such that a main clutch (Tmc) bears all the torque. Thereby, the input shaft rotational speed is increased by controlling solely the main clutch releasing pressure (Pmc). In power-on and low-torque or low-vehicle-speed conditions, the control unit sets a torque allotment ratio of the main clutch torque and the sub-clutch torque to 1:1. Thereby, the controls of the main clutch releasing pressure (Pmc) and the sub-clutch engaging pressure (Psc) simultaneously proceed in parallel to cause a change in the input shaft rotational speed without a time lag. The hydraulic control apparatus thus conducts proper downshift control involving clutch engagement changeover, in all vehicle running conditions, without increasing control logic.
