Abstract: A peripherally driven veneer lathe employs a knife with an improved shape which
increases the deflection resistance of the cutting edge and improves its cutting
ability. A cutting edge (7c) is positioned on the flank side a predetermined
distance (H) away from a point (X) of intersection of an extended plane of a
cutting face (7a) and that of a flank (7b) of a knife (7) toward the downstream of
the rotation of a log. The cutting face immediately following the cutting edge
(7c) is formed as a connecting curved surface (7d) coinciding with a concentric
arc distanced from the trajectory (G) of rotation of piercing projections (4a) of a
peripheral-drive member (4) with a predetermined gap (S). Preferably, the angle
(α) formed by a line (D) tangent to the connecting curved surface (7d) at the
cutting edge and the flank (7b) is roughly equal to the sharpness angle (β: 18° to
25°) of the conventional knife.

Abstract: A transmission for a vehicle mainly includes a main
transmission (M) and a differential gear mechanism (20). The
main transmission has at least two rotating elements (11, 12;
13, 14) each set to a different gear ratio, and the differential
gear mechanism has at least three elements (21, 22, 23). There
are provided first input means (C-1, C-2) which selectively
inputs an input rotation to two rotating elements of the main
transmission, and second input means (1, 2, C-3; 1, 2, 4) which
connects the two rotating elements to two elements (21, 22) of
the differential gear mechanism and inputs the input rotation
to the other at least one element (23). Accordingly, power
transmission which transmits the input rotation to one rotating
element of the main transmission through the differential gear
mechanism, and power transmission which simultaneously
transmits the input rotation to two rotating elements of the
main transmission as different speed rotations via the
differential gear mechanism can be performed by controlling the
input means. The shifting with no torque escape can be performed
by switching the power transmission. Further, since an
intermediate gear ratio with respect to an individual gear ratio
is generated by two rotating elements at a time of simultaneously
transmitting power to two rotating elements, it is possible to
increase a number of shift speeds by utilizing this.

groove-carving blade while keeping a close contact of the first main
surface thereof with the substrate feeding surface. Electrodes are
then formed on the inner side face of thus-carved grooves only on one
side in the width-wise direction thereof.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for accurately determining TDC in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine. Gas pressure is measured in the cylinder relative to crank angle, giving rise to a curve of gas pressure with crank angle. An offset is found by first computing the angular position of an inflexion point of the compression pressure curve measured as a function of the crank angle, and then computing the offset as the difference between the angular position of a piston in the cylinder and a theoretical value for said angular position of the piston dependent on a known or measured flywheel angle. The value of TDC corrected by the offset is then used to calculate a value of work output such as the Indicated Mean Effective Pressure (IMEP) which may be used for diagnostic and/or control purposes.
