A neutral tin electroplating bath for obtaining a compact tin coating, comprising a stannous salt, an alkali metal salt of pyrophosphoric acid, a polyhydric phenol, a surface-active agent and, if desired, at least one additive selected from the group consisting of hydrazine, hypophosphorous acid, phosphous acid, ascorbic acid, formaldehyde and salts thereof.

A faster curing neutral curing composition is obtained by the additive of an oxime compound to a composition comprising a trialkoxysilethylene endblocked polydiorganosiloxane, alkoxysilane crosslinker, and titanium catalyst.

A system of components which can be grouped into sets for assembly in various configurations to provide electrical neutral bar assemblies of different shapes and having different numbers of neutral-wire-receiving openings. The system, which is particularly suitable for use with neutral wires of relatively large ampacity, includes a plurality of insulating bases, a plurality of neutral bars of different lengths, and an interconnecting plate. One or more of the bases and one or more of the neutral...

There is provided a neutral valve structure applied to at least one of a pair of operation fluid lines in an HST, including: a valve body slidable in the axis line direction so as to take a closing position where the corresponding operation fluid line is liquid-tightly closed and a releasing position where the corresponding operation fluid line is released to a low-pressure area; and a biasing member for urging the valve body toward the releasing position on one side of the axis line direction. ...

A neutral idle hill detection system for a vehicle with an automatic transmission comprises a range selection input device that receives an operating range of a transmission. A throttle position input device receives a throttle position signal. A transmission output speed input device receives a transmission output speed signal. A transmission temperature input device receives a temperature signal. A brake status input device receives a brake signal. A control module receives the range, the thro...

A vehicle transmission includes a plurality of shift shafts that cooperate with a common neutral switch to control when range shifts occur. In one example, the plurality of shift shafts includes a first shift shaft, a second shift shaft, and a third shift shaft that is positioned between the first and second shift shafts. A plunger actuates the neutral switch in response to movement of the third shift shaft along an axis. A first switch pin is positioned between the first shift shaft and the plu...

An artificial neutral voltage derived from the voltages on both energized lines of a three-wire, single-phase energy supply system is compared to the voltage on the neutral line. Comparator means energize interrupter means to cause the cessation of a current flow in the energized lines of the circuit in the event the neutral line voltage is more than a predetermined value above or below the artificially derived neutral voltage for protection in the event an open neutral line condition occurs eve...

A neutral density filter is made by providing a substrate including a volume absorber having a first density and having an uneven first attenuation characteristic, and providing for a substantially constant attenuation of light by depositing on a backside of the volume absorber a thin-film attenuator having light reflective properties attenuated by the volume attenuator, having a second density and a second attenuation characteristic substantially complementing the first attenuation characterist...

A pin-type synchronizer mechanism (86) with self-energizing ramps is configured to provide self-energizing forces for reducing an operator applied shift force (F.sub.o) and/or shift time. The self-energizing forces are provided by self-energizing ramp surfaces (29e,29f,29g,29h) and (111a, 111b,111c, 111d) respectively, formed in external splines (29) of a shaft 28 and in internal teeth (111) extending radially inward from a shift flange (110). The ramp surfaces provide an additive axial force (F...

A neutral lug assembly for coupling neutral wire conductors to a neutral plate in the panelboard is provided, the neutral lug assembly includes a generally u-shaped bracket adapted to be electrically coupled to the panelboard neutral plate and having first and second stair-step shaped side portions. A cross strap having a first end secured to the first side portion, a second end secured to the second side portion and a middle portion. A securing means is provided for securing the first and secon...
