摘要:
A power transmission device equipped with a torque biasing system and control system for controlling the torque biasing system is operable to determine a torque command and calculate a torque error based on the torque command and a model-based torque. A control signal is generated based on the torque error and the torque biasing system is operated based on the control signal.

A torque transfer system for transferring torque between a first rotary member and a second rotary member includes a clutch pack that is operably disposed between the first rotary member and the second rotary member to regulate torque transfer therebetween and a clutch actuator for regulating engagement of the clutch pack. A controller generates a dithered control signal by superimposing a dithering signal onto a digital control signal. The controller determines a time averaged duty cycle DCavg of the dithered control signal, determines an amplitude AMP of the dithered control signal, determines a wave function WF that describes a wave shape of the dithered control signal and calculates a pulse duty cycle PDC for each pulse of the dithered control signal using the average duty cycle, amplitude, and wave function.

A tire cord having core filaments preformed into a helical configuration while maintaining the core filaments in a parallel, side-by-side relationship. The core filaments are not twisted or stranded together. High tensile strength sheath filaments are also preformed into a flattened helical configuration so that the sheath filaments can be wrapped around the side-by-side core filaments such that the sheath filaments do not put such tension on the core filaments as to cause the core filaments to bunch. The core filaments are maintained in a flat, side-by-side configation so that no voids are formed and rubber can penetrate into the tire cord. The core filaments may number from three to six and the sheath filaments from one to seven. The cross-section of the tire cord is flattened and confined within an oval-shaped outer bound, the oval outer bound being characterized by a major axis and a minor axis. It is desirable that the minor axis be no greater than 60% of the major axis to created the appropriate difference in the bending modulus of the tire cord in the horizontal versus the vertical direction.

A shift system for a transfer case including a spring-loaded range fork assembly operable for shifting a range sleeve between two speed range positions. The range fork assembly includes a bracket, a range fork, and a spring assembly. The spring assembly is compressed and inserted into chambers formed in both the bracket and range fork. The range fork assembly is slidably maintained on a shift rail and the range fork is coupled to the range sleeve. An actuator mechanism is provided for causing selective axial movement of the range fork assembly on the rail. The spring assembly allows the bracket to shift and apply a shift force on the range fork. This shift force causes the range fork to slide the range sleeve to the desired range position.

An apparatus for improving the quality of paper manufactured from a contaminated fibrous stock having therein recycled paper pulp and contaminants smaller than a predetermined size and with a specific gravity approximately that of the specific gravity of whitewater used in the production of recycled paper stock comprises a hydrokinetic amplifier having a mixing chamber connected to each of a steam inlet, a stock inlet, a chemical feed inlet, an overflow discharge and a venturi. The venturi is connected to an outlet of the hydrokinetic amplifier. The apparatus also includes a pulper, a dump chest, a cyclone separator, a pressure screen, a vibratory screen, a holding tank, a pump, and various auxiliary pumps, valves, piping and sources of steam and whitewater. The method comprises mixing steam with contaminated fibrous stock in a mixing chamber to raise the pressure and temperature of the contaminated fibrous stock, mixing the contaminated fibrous stock with chemicals to promote emulsification of dispersed contaminants in the stock. The method further includes flowing the mixture of contaminated fibrous stock, steam and emulsifying chemicals through a venturi to apply cavitational forces to contaminants, to disperse the contaminants and produce contaminated stock having contaminants dispersed and emulsified therein and to increase the pressure and temperature of the contaminated fibrous stock from the pressure and temperature of the contaminated fibrous stock before being subjected to the method. The heated contaminated stock with the dispersed and emulsified contaminants therein is supplied to the pulper.

Catalytic ortho-alkylation process which comprises reacting a phenolic compound with an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst composite comprising a calcination residue derived from a catalyst preform prepared from an admixture of (1) a magnesium carbonate and/or magnesium hydroxide, (2) a manganese compound, and (3) a complex of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) and a solvent selected from dichloromethane, dibromomethane, bromochloromethane and mixtures thereof.
摘要:
A monocarbonate transesterification process comprising contacting in the presence of a base, a beta-fluoroaliphatic carbonate and a compound selected from the class consisting of monohydroxy aliphatic alcohols, phenols and ortho-positioned dihydroxy aromatic compounds. The resulting monocarbonates are useful as monocarbonates, per se, or useful in the preparation of polycarbonates which can be molded or formed into films, laminates or reinforced plastics by conventional techniques.
摘要:
A de-alkylation process which comprises contacting a t-alkylether-alkanol, e.g. 4-t-butylether-n-butan-1-ol, with an acidic solid mixed oxide, e.g. silica-alumina, catalyst which results in the formation of alkanediols, e.g. 1,4-butanediol, in the substantial absence of undesirable side reactions, e.g. the formation of tetrahydrofuran. The resulting alkanediols are useful in the preparation of polyesters, e.g. polybutylene terephthalates.
