  • Patent number: 5583772
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to present a reliable evaluation method for determining whether a moving vehicle is in a stable antiskid control operation or in an unstable antiskid control operation even when there are wheel speed pulsation caused, and a device based on such a method. In the antiskid control apparatuses and the methods of the invention, it is determined that the moving vehicle is in the stable control when the wheel acceleration being generated while the wheel speed is decreasing exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and also determined that the moving vehicle is in the unstable control when the wheel acceleration is below the threshold value. In another antiskid control apparatus and the method of the invention, it is determined that moving vehicle is in the unstable control or in the stable control basis on the changes in the wheel slipping rate with respect to the coefficient of friction between the wheel and a road.

  • Patent number: 5560691
    Abstract: In the disclosed method and apparatus, the brake fluid pressure in a wheel cylinder is reduced and thereafter it is re-increased so that the braking torque is linearly increased with respect to time due to the anti-skid control and the rate of change of the coefficient of road surface friction with respect to the wheel slip rate is determined while the brake fluid pressure is thus re-increased so that the brake fluid pressure is re-relieved when said rate of change comes below a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 4237520
    Abstract: A gas insulated switch-gear apparatus having first and second base planes is disclosed. Arranged on the first and second base planes are feeder switching apparatus comprising gas filled circuit breakers and first and second gas insulated disconnecting switches at opposite sides of each of the gas filled circuit breakers. Gas insulated busbar devices are arranged to be horizontally spaced from the feeder switching apparatus. On the first and second base planes, the first gas insulated disconnecting switches are connected to the gas insulated busbar devices while the second gas insulated disconnecting switches are connected to bushings. Axial lines of the feeder switching apparatus along which the first and second gas insulated disconnecting switches are arranged traverse axial lines of the gas insulated busbar devices. The axial lines of the gas insulated busbar devices arranged on the first and second base planes lie in a common vertical plane containing the axial lines and lie in the base planes.
