Abstract:
According to the lockup device of a fluid transmission under the present invention, at the decelerating running when the change rate of engine load exceeds a set value, a lockup control pattern is changed so that the area where the lockup device is controlled to perfect friction or to the specified friction force. By this change, at the decelerating running large engine brake force can be worked and a good feeling of deceleration can be given to a driver. In the case where fuel supply to the engine is suspended at the decelerating running of the engine, transmission of large engine brake force as mentioned above results in comparatively longer time of maintaining high engine speed and longer time of fuel supply cutting off, with consequent saving of fuel consumption. Moreover, by changing the target slip quantity to the increasing side at the accelerating running, torque increasing action at the accelerating running is displayed effectively and accelerability can be improved. At the normal running, lowering of specific fuel consumption due to slip of the torque converter can be checked by setting a target slip quantity small. Thus, coexistence of improvement of accelerability and improvement of specific fuel consumption can be planned.
Abstract:
A photographic yellow coupler having a general formula selected from the group consisting of (I), (II) and (III) ##STR1## wherein A is a yellow coupler residue defined by removing one hydrogen atom of a active methylene group from a yellow coupler having the active methylene group; Q is a group having a formula selected from the group consisting of ##STR2## and ##STR3## (where X and Y are individually a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, acyl, aryl or aralkyl group; Z is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, aryl or aralkyl group; and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are individually a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, aryl or aralkyl group or both of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together may form a benzylidene group or a cycloalkyl group); and Q' is a group of the formula --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -- or ##STR4## (wherein R.sub.3 is a hydrogen or halogen atom or an alkoxy group; R.sub.4 is a hydrogen or halogen atom, an amino, acylamino, ureido, lower alkyl, alkoxy or hydroxy group; and R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are individually a lower alkyl group).
