Abstract: A training pillow to assist in teaching a person not to sleep face-down has base a portion for supporting the back of the head when lying face-up on a sleeping surface and two side portions which project substantially diagonally from the base portion and away from the sleeping surface. The pillow can make it awkward and/or uncomfortable for the person to sleep face-down and thereby arousing the person into a conscious state to remind the person not to sleep face-down. Additionally, flipping the pillow over will present an awkward and/or uncomfortable sleeping surface. However, when a person rolls to the side, the corresponding side of the person's head causes the appropriate side portion to move into contact with the sleeping surface, while the base portion and the opposite side portion are lifted away from the sleeping surface.

Abstract: A valve actuator (1) is provided which comprises an actuator stem (4) extending from a housing (2) which contains a sleeve (17). The actuator stem (4) is driven so as to cause the sleeve to compress a stack of springs (22) within the housing until bolts (25) engage the sleeve, locking the springs in a compressed state. At the same time an armature (28) on the actuator stem is attracted to an electromagnet (29) within the housing. The actuator stem can then be driven to open or close a valve in a controlled manner without first compressing or releasing the springs. In an emergency, the electromagnet is switched off, releasing the armature thus unlocking the stack of springs. The released springs push the piston which partially retracts the actuator stem into the housing causing the valve to be closed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a machine, especially a winder, that winds threads. A thread is alternately guided to-and-fro between two change-over points within a traversing stroke and crosswise in relation to the drawing-off direction of the thread by means of a thread guide of a traversing device for being laid onto a rotating bobbin. The invention also relates to devices for carrying out the methods. According to the invention, an end point of the change-over of the thread guide is fixed at a change-over point. The traversing stroke is corrected, preferably shortened or prolonged, during a following stroke and according to the position of the end point. In an alternative embodiment, the actuation of the thread guide or the traversing device is controlled according to a predetermined winding ratio and a bobbin speed in such a way that the winding ratio is maintained when the bobbin speed is changed or not.
