  • Patent number: 6456919
    Abstract: A process for the control of switching or shifting processes in automatic gears with an allocatable control device for use in drivelines of vehicles with at least one drive motor, especially in the form of an internal combustion engine. In a first process step the actual values of certain travel-dynamics magnitudes for a given time point to are detected or calculated; in a second process step there is determined from the actual values a theoretically achievable connection speed of the drive motor, especially the internal combustion engine, in the actually shifted-in gear for each time step; in a third process step the ascertained connection speed is compared with limit speeds that can be stipulated in a characteristic field of the drive motor, in which in dependence on the comparison results in no switching process, or an upshift- or downshift- switching process is initiated by governing of the setting members actuatable for the carrying-out of a gear change.

  • Patent number: 4268475
    Abstract: Production of hollow shaped bodies made of pourable and hardenable material, particularly polyurethane tires, in a mold cavity having a deformable membrane. The membrane is expanded to fill the mold cavity and expel air therein. Thereafter an amount of material required to produce the shaped body is introduced into the mold cavity and concomitantly the membrane is contracted to the form of the core. This minimizes air bubbles in the shaped body. A piston-cylinder unit movable with the inflow and outflow of liquid to the deformable membrane may be used to accurately control feed of polyurethane material to the mold cavity.
