The invention relates to a thread rolling method and a thread rolling machine. The thread rolling machine comprises a fixed thread rolling plate and a gliding thread rolling plate mounted on a bed body; the gliding thread rolling plate is connected with a movement zooming mechanism, and the movement zooming mechanism is connected with a liner reciprocating power mechanism. By lever principle, the zooming of a movement distance is formed; meanwhile, zooming of movement speed is generated, slow action of hydraulic movement is changed so as to adapt to the rapid movement of thread rolling. The method can be well applied to the thread rolling of a large bolt, thereby changing the situation of applying a very big crank rocker mechanism to the thread rolling of a big bolt, shortening an overall structure of the thread rolling machine, and reducing the cost.

A trailing edge flap actuation mechanism has a flap drive link with a first end pivotally coupled to a fore flap structure of a flap and a second end pivotally coupled to an underwing support structure. An aft tension link has a leading end pivotally coupled proximate an aft end of the underwing support structure and a trailing end coupled to a mid-section structure of the flap. An actuator, when actuated, rotates the flap drive link about a first pivot axle to move the flap between a retracted position and a deployed lowered position. The actuator, including a ball-screw drive shaft having a universal joint, is positioned in a cove above the underwing support structure whereby the extent that the underwing support structure protrudes below the wing is reduced.

A curled variable radius lever comprises a lever arm of variable effective length that curls and uncurls about a drive axis. In a preferred arrangement the lever assembly has a plurality of rigid blocks linked together by a chain or spring steel strip. Each block has a pair of walls 11 that face and abut each other in an uncurled, straightened state of the lever arm. The abutment of the walls of the lever arm rigidifies the arm and prevents the arm from bending further in the direction of uncurling when a driving force is applied by users to a handle. The lever may be used with socket sets, yacht winch, fishing rod reel, a bicycle crank or a jack assembly.

An actuating device comprises a handle, a housing, and a driven member connected to the handle, the driven member being rotatable about a longitudinal axis thereof, the housing containing: a brake mechanism, for restricting rotation of the driven member when the brake mechanism is engaged; a means for disengaging the brake mechanism; a means for rotating the driven member in either the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction; and, a clutch mechanism for restricting reverse rotation of the driven member when driven in the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The actuating device of the invention is particularly suited for actuating a seat height adjustment mechanism of a vehicle.

An apparatus and method of transmission control includes a shift lever supported between gear positions P, R, N, D, and a sensor operably connected to a vehicle electrical system for generating a variable signal corresponding to the P, R, N, D gear positions. The electrical system is initially set to control shifting a transmission between P, R, N, and D gear positions based on initial P and D position-indicating signals and interpolated / proportional R and N position-indicated signals. The apparatus and method further include adjusting shifting control for improved shift location accuracy after worn shifter components have mechanically worn or electrically drifted, by determining “new” P and D gear positions when the shift lever is in component-worn P and D gear positions, respectively, and then calculating new R and N position-indicating signals.
