Abstract: An improvement in a motor vehicle transmission/casing assembly where an end pressure plate of a clutch plate assembly, is positioned on a surface of an hydraulic piston located in the casing of the transmission/casing assembly. Spaced externally extending splines on the pressure plate are positioned in correspondingly spaced channels in the interior casing wall, for arresting the pressure plate from rotation. A loosely fitted buffer member or liner is positioned in each channel between the periphery of the externally extending splines and the walls of the channel for intercepting contact between the spline of the pressure plate and the wall of the channel. A groove in a circumference of the interior wall of the casing, supports a snap ring which transverses each channel and blocks the buffer member, positioned in the channel, from slipping out of the channel.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to “wet” friction clutch packs used in land motor vehicle's transmissions. The clutch pack comprises a multitude of friction plates and steel plates, which are stacked one upon the other. The clutch pack further comprises a multitude of splines attached to the outer portions of the steel plates. The steel splines have rubber inserts attached to them. When hydraulic pressure is applied to the clutch pack it is compressed engaging the friction and steel plates and allowing the clutch pack to rotate, however, when the pressure is released the friction plates stay static, whereas the steel plates rotate. The rubber inserts facilitate a rapid release when the clutch pack is disengaged. When pressure is applied to the clutch pack, the rubber inserts do not interfere with the proper operation of the clutch pack.

Abstract: A stable concentrated dust control composition comprises a mixture of crude tall oil and vegetable oil emulsified in water. The dust control composition is completely organic, non-corrosive, non-flammable, non-toxic, ecologically safe, readily dilutable with water, safe to use, easy to apply to a desired surface and environmentally responsible. The water soluble formula may be designed to penetrate into the surfaces to bind with surface materials to create a dust free durable surface safe to motorists. The composition suspresses dust, so it is unable to be picked up and be carried away by wind and water, therefore preventing soil erosion and damage to field crops. The composition also reduces airborne dust that carries disease causing pollutants that are transported to distant communities.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of land motor vehicle transmissions. The present invention serves the purpose of increasing the surface area of the brake band and preventing the band anchor from breaking in the land motor vehicle transmission. The present invention has an outer core layer and an inner core layer that are connected with each other using flexible connecters, that are capable of responding and withstanding high pressure and torque. The present invention also has attachment section that is used when the present invention is being attached to a transmission of a land motor vehicle. Each layer also has a multitude of slots that are arranged along surfaces of each layer. The present invention is fabricated from a soft metal to ensure flexibility.

Abstract: An AC to DC to AC converter has an input to receive input AC, a rectifier to rectify the input AC to DC, and an inverter to invert the DC to output AC. A load sensor senses load on the AC to DC to AC converter. A fan directs a cooling fluid to the AC to DC to AC converter. A fan control has an input coupled to the AC to DC to AC converter so as to receive DC therefrom, an input coupled to the load sensor, and an output coupled to the fan. The fan control controls the fan at a variable speed in response to load on the AC to DC to AC converter so as to vary the cooling fluid delivered by the fan to the AC to DC to AC converter.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for the removal of sulfur from an aqueous sulfur-containing suspension through sulfur coalescence. Sulfur coalescence is initiated by passing the aqueous sulfur-containing suspension through a multi-passage filtering media. In one embodiment of the present invention, the aqueous sulfur-containing suspension is passed through a filtering media comprised of randomly oriented fibrous filter material. In another embodiment of the present invention, the aqueous sulfur containing suspension is passed through sintered metal filters. Optionally, downstream polishing, or filtration, steps using either the above enumerated filters or combinations of the above filters can also be used.
