Abstract: An automotive steering assembly which has a steering pad maintained stationary independently of the steering wheel operation is disclosed. The assembly employs a sun and planetary gear system in transmission of rotary motion to the steering shaft. The steering wheel is rigidly attached to the steering shaft while the sun and planetary gear system contributes to maintenance of the orientation of the steering pad. In the sun and planetary gear system, the role of the sun portion is played by a timing belt whereas that of the planetary portion is played by a rotary gear wheel. The above timing belt and planetary gear wheel are adapted to be disengaged from each other upon entry of foreign matters including sand grains or the like.

Abstract: A fuel cell power system comprises a fuel conditioning apparatus for converting hydrocarbon fuels to a hydrogen-rich gas, and a fuel cell stack for converting fuel gas to electric power, said fuel cell stack including an anode gas chamber connected at its inlet to the fuel conditioning apparatus through a fuel gas feed pipe line, a cathode gas chamber connected to a process air feeding means, and a cooling gas chamber connected at its both ends to a cooling medium circulating line provided with a heat exchanger and a blower, characterized in that said fuel gas feed pipe line and cooling medium circulating line are connected one another through a pipe line provided with a valve to supply said hydrogen-rich gas from said fuel gas feed pipe line to said cooling medium circulating line or vice versa.
