  • Publication number: 20040163490
    Abstract: A propelling transmission control apparatus for a working vehicle having a hydrostatic stepless transmission comprises a variable displacement type hydraulic pump (35), a change speed control mechanism (80) for converting a displacement of a control device (55) to a control displacement for varying a swash plate angle of the hydraulic pump, a main hydraulic motor (36) and an auxiliary hydraulic motor (37) connected in series to the hydraulic pump. The main hydraulic pump (36) is a fixed displacement type having a fixed swash plate angle, while the auxiliary hydraulic motor (37) is a variable displacement type having a variable swash plate angle. A common output shaft is provided for receiving rotational output from the main and auxiliary motors. The apparatus further comprises a control piston (35) for varying the swash plate angle of the auxiliary hydraulic motor, the control piston being connected to a pressure oil supply line (39) for supplying the main and auxiliary hydraulic motors with pressure oil.

  • Patent number: 6435605
    Abstract: A vehicle sunroof has a tilting lid provided at a front part of an opening formed in a roof of a vehicle. The tilting lid is adapted to be moved vertically at a rear end thereof with lifter mechanisms. A sliding lid is provided at a rear part of the opening supported by sliders adapted to be moved along guide rails disposed on both side edge portions of the opening and is constructed so as to be moved longitudinally through such movements of the sliders. The lifter mechanisms are provided in such a manner as to be oriented laterally at portions facing a rear end of the tilting lid on a laterally oriented cross member disposed so as to extend between front end portions of the left and right guide rails.

  • Patent number: 5886583
    Abstract: An oscillator with higher frequency stability. The phase arator circuit 17 detects a phase difference between a second-interval reference pulse signal 16 outputted from a GPS receiver 15 and an almost second-interval pulse signal 14 obtained by dividing output of a voltage-controlled oscillator 11 with a counter circuit 13. The delay circuit 31 and the difference calculating circuit 32 determine changes in the phase difference every second, while the averaging circuit 35 determines the mean value of the changes. The control voltage is changed to decrease the mean value of the changes to first match the frequency of the pulse signal 14 with that of the reference pulse signal 16, and the voltage of the control signal at this moment is stored. The voltage of the control signal is then changed to match the phases. The voltage of the control signal is restored to the stored value when the phases match.

  • Patent number: 4216292
    Abstract: An enzyme sarcosine oxidase is produced by culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Bacillus, and particularly the species Bacillus sp. B-0618, FERM-P No. 4049, NRRL No. B-11380, and isolating the sarcosine oxidase thus produced from the culture medium.
