Abstract: A method of controlling a multiple step downshift is disclosed. Two offgoing shift elements are released and two oncoming shift elements are engaged to complete the downshift. During a first phase of the downshift, one of the offgoing shift elements controls the rate of increase of input shaft speed. During a second phase of the downshift, one of the oncoming shift elements controls the rate of increase of the input shaft speed. The method computes target torque capacities such that output torque and input shaft acceleration are continuous during the transition between phases. Furthermore, the method computes target torque capacities such that both oncoming clutches reach zero relative speed simultaneously as the input shaft reaches the final speed ratio.

Abstract: 0587788986 The arrangement for combining and shaping the radiation of a plurality of laser diode lines, comprising at least two laser diode lines whose radiation has a cross section in the emission plane (x-y plane) whose longitudinal axis is a multiple of the transverse axis, one collimator unit for each laser diode line, which collimator unit is arranged downstream thereof in the radiation directly, a combining unit for combining the collimated radiation of the individual laser diode lines by a side-by-side arrangement in the direction of the transverse axis, and a recombining unit for dividing the combined radiation in the direction of the longitudinal axes into individual partial beams and recombining the latter by a side-by-side arrangement in the direction of the transverse axes.
