  • Publication number: 20230063085
    Abstract: The invention relates to a clothing (10) for a machine to manufacture or refine a fibrous web, in particular a paper, cardboard, or tissue web, comprising a substrate (40) and a grid structure (20) applied on the substrate (40), on which the fibrous web is transported when the clothing (10) is used as intended, wherein the grid structure (20?) comprises a plurality of first elements (24?), all of which aligned in a first direction, and a plurality of second elements (26?), all of which aligned in a second direction, which is different from the first direction, wherein the first elements (24?) penetrate the second elements (26?), forming the grid structure (20?), such that an underside of the first elements (24?) facing the substrate (40) and an underside of the second elements (26?) facing the substrate (40) are located in a common plane. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for producing such a clothing.

  • Patent number: 11214264
    Abstract: One way to improve fuel efficiency of a vehicle is to detect the vehicle operational shortcomings related to fuel consumption by determining whether fuel used during operation of the vehicle is normal fuel use or wasted fuel use. Considerations of idling, speeding and inappropriate gear shifts are some ways to measure the amount of fuel wasted due to operator shortcomings. Communicating this information to the operator in real-time so adjustments can be made will improve vehicle fuel efficiency. These techniques are applicable to tracking employment of other driving best practices as well.

  • Patent number: 11081877
    Abstract: A power distribution system comprises a first power distribution unit coupled to an electrical power source and a second lower power distribution unit serially coupled to the first distribution unit and configured to supply to power to one or more loads. The first and second distribution units each comprise at least one solid state power controller configured to control current flow through the respective first and second distribution units. The first distribution unit further comprises control means configured to receive and analyze data related to measurements of downstream current and to interrupt the power within the first distribution unit when the received current measurements exceed a predetermined threshold. The system further includes a current monitoring component configured to measure the current flow to, or within, the second distribution unit, the current monitoring component configured to transmit current data to the control means within the first distribution unit for analysis.

  • Patent number: 8924138
    Abstract: One way to improve fuel efficiency of a vehicle is to improve the usage of various gears. One way to measure the amount of fuel wasted due to suboptimal gear shifting is to compare the actual gear used for various driving conditions with the optimal gear used. Such comparisons may be combined with determinations of amount of fuel used to determine how much fuel has been lost due to suboptimal shifting. These techniques are applicable to tracking employment of other driving best practices as well.

  • Patent number: 6623088
    Abstract: A vehicle hydraulic braking system responds to detection of an operator intended high braking intensity event to isolate vehicle brakes from the master cylinder and activate a motor driven pump to generate a maximum predetermined supply pressure, calibrated to provide activation of an anti-lock braking system, to the brake apply valves for an initial predetermined time. Thereafter, the supply pressure is reduced via an electrically controllable pressure relief valve responsive to sensed vehicle deceleration so as to decrease the supply pressure provided to the apply valve to a level just sufficient to provide the sensed vehicle deceleration. The high intensity braking event is detected via a rate of change of master cylinder pressure, pedal force or pedal travel.

  • Publication number: 20020130550
    Abstract: A vehicle hydraulic braking system has a motor driven pump with an output to a brake apply valve and valve apparatus between a master cylinder and the brake apply valve capable of communicating or blocking master cylinder pressure from the apply valve. The valve apparatus further provides electrically controllable pressure relief to control supply pressure from the pump to the apply valve. A sensor indicating operator requested braking intensity is monitored to detect an operator intended high braking intensity event.

  • Patent number: 6364429
    Abstract: A substantially constant brake assist gain is provided in a vehicle braking system having a vacuum booster providing braking assist to a brake fluid master cylinder in response to an operator input braking force, even though the gain of the booster falls off from its maximum value in a non-linear manner in a runout initiating portion of the working vacuum range near zero booster vacuum. A brake fluid pump, such as is used in an ABS/TCS modulator, is used to supplement the booster output as it falls so as to maintain a constant, linear brake system gain into runout. In the runout initiating portion of the working vacuum range, a runout assist gain is derived from stored data expressing booster assist gain as a function of booster vacuum, and a target wheel pressure is calculated from the derived runout boost assist gain and a corresponding change in master cylinder pressure.

  • Patent number: 3948208
    Abstract: A conversion unit for attachment to a machine tool constructed to operate normally in English units of measurement so that the machine tool may be used directly in metric units, or vice versa. The unit comprises an externally toothed gear wheel which may be fitted to a screw of the machine tool to turn with it, and an internally annular gear eccentrically mounted to mesh with the other gear, the number of teeth on the gears being chosen so that the correct conversion ratio is produced, the measurements being readable from graduated scales.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION.
