Abstract: A slip control apparatus for use in a motor vehicle having an engine for generating a motive power to drive the motor vehicle. The apparatus comprises a first detector for detecting a speed of a driven wheel of the motor vehicle which is driven by the motive power generated from the engine, a second detector for detecting a running speed of the motor vehicle and a third detector for detecting an acceleration of the driven wheel. Also included in the apparatus are a decision unit for determining the occurrence of slipping of the driven wheel on the basis of the detection results of the first and second detectors, a driving force adjusting device for adjusting a driving force of the motor vehicle, and a control unit for controlling the slip of the driven wheel on the basis of information from the first to third detectors.

Abstract: Disclosed are zirconia ceramics superior in mechanical strength, hardness and toughness and a method for producing them. The zirconia ceramics contain ca. 7-12 mol % of cerium oxide and ca. 2-7 mol % of magnesium oxide and have an average crystal grain size of crystal grains thereof of 1 .mu.m or less, at least ca. 80 mol % of the crystal grains being tetragonal grains and the balance being monoclinic grains, and have a bending strength of at least 100 kg/mm.sup.2, a fracture toughness of at least 10 MNm.sup.-1.5 and a Vickers hardness of at least 1000 kg/mm.sup.2. The method comprises calcining a hydrate obtained by coprecipitation method from water-soluble salts of cerium and magnesium and a basic salt of zirconium or a hydrate obtained by adding water-soluble salts of cerium and magnesium to a zirconium hydrate and neutralizing the mixture of hydrates, further grinding the calcined hydrate to obtain zirconia powders of 1 .mu.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating fuel vapor, such as in a motor vehicle fuel tank, by subjecting it to adsorption treatment to prevent its direct emission into the atmosphere. The apparatus according to the present invention comprises a fuel tank, a partitioning wall provided within the fuel tank to define a small fuel storage chamber within the fuel tank, a canister container housed in the small fuel storage chamber, the canister container storing therein a fuel adsorbing material. When fuel feeding takes place, feeding fuel is introduced into the small fuel storage chamber to cool the canister container. However, when the engine is operated, high temperature return fuel is introduced into the small storage chamber to heat the canister container thereby promoting the adsorbing and de-adsorbing action of fuel by the fuel adsorbing material.
