FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AG LEGNER, Jrgen The vehicle drive system for mobile hydraulics has a
hydrostatic power transmission and a multispeed gearbox. When the gears are shifted, the speed of the
hydrostatic variable displacement motor is controlled in such a way that synchronous engine speeds are
set on the engaging elements. Thus, in upshifting, a directional valve is shifted into the neutral position
and afterward shifted back into the basic position. For downshifting there is a synchronizing valve that
replaces a control pressure, which is dependent on the speed of a primary drive motor, with a constant
maximum charge pressure. As a result the engine speed of the hydrostatic variable displacement motor

DAWBARN & SONS LIMITED A sheeting system is disclosed to respectively open and cover an
open-topped container body to allow goods to be loaded into or from the container and to be covered
during transit. The system has a tarpaulin sheet fixed along one of its edges to one edge of the container

body. The sheet is fixed along its second edge to a pivotally mounted arm (14) whose pivoting action
draws the second edge of the sheet from one side of the container to the other. A roller means (15) is
provided intermediate to the first and second edges of the sheet to accordingly engage the sheet and so
roll the sheet up when it is not covering the container. Actuators (12) to drive the pivotally mounted

218. (000) (WO 2007/056554) METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING EFFICIENCY AND DURABILITY
OF ROTARY DRAG BITS AND ROTARY DRAG BITS DESIGNED FOR OPTIMAL
EFFICIENCY AND DURABILITY 18.05.2007 E21B 41/00 BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED
A method for evaluating existing drill bits and drill bit designs includes measuring several desired
characteristics of a bit, including the wear experienced in drilling a formation, such as an actual
formation or a simulated formation or a laboratory test fixture. A computer model may be used to
evaluate the work-force and/or the sliding-wear rates that cutting elements of the bit experience as
compared with the rate-of-penetration and/or durability of the bit. This information may be used to
design a new drill bit, which may involve modification of the cutting elements {e.g., moving the
location, volume (size and shape) or number of cutting elements from areas of the bit that receive lower
work-force and sliding-wear rates to those a...
