Abstract: The stray inductance created by the loop formed by voltage sensing
conductors (121, 125) connected to opposite ends of the bimetal (55) in a miniature
circuit breaker (1) for determining load current is reduced by joining a voltage sense bar
(115) to the free end of the bimetal (55). The voltage sense bar (115) extends beside the
bimetal (55) toward the fixed end of the bimetal where an insulated wire (121) connected
to the free end (123) of the sense bar (115) forms a twisted pair (127) with an insulated
wire (125) secured to the fixed end of the bimetal (55).

Abstract: This invention relates to a color cathode ray tube comprising
an electron gun (9), a deflection yoke (11) and a fluorescent
face (13). In order to improve the focusing characteristics
of the cathode ray tube it is proposed that the shield cup
(81) of the electron gun (9) is arranged in a region of the
deflecting magnetic field of the deflection yoke (11), a deflection
aberration correcting electrode means is provided in
a bottom face of the shield cup (81) on a side of the cathodes
(K) at positions on a side of the fluorescent face (13)
beyond a 
beam transmitting hole (82) portion through which the three
electron beams (10) pass, the deflection aberration correcting
electrode means changing a focusing or diverging
action of the electron beams (10) to change the diameter of
the beams (10) depending upon the amount of deflection of the
electron beams (10).

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission control system determines
the desired speed ratio (DTR) for a continuously variable transmission (14)
from various input data received from the vehicle and operator. The desired
speed ratio is compared with a commanded speed ratio (COM.SR) to provide
an error signal (CESR) which establishes a new commanded speed ratio for
the continuously variable transmission. The comparing process of desired
speed ratio to commanded speed ratio is repeated until the error signal is
substantially null. Also, the control provides an adaptive modifier (CAM) for
the actuator of the continuously variable transmission such that a comparison
of actual transmission ratio to commanded speed ratio will determine if an
adaptive modification is necessary. The control further provides a step
control function (SRAC, S3, C2) which is operable when the ratio of the
continuously variable transmission is moving toward an underdrive ratio. The
step input commands a large change in the actuator control valve to thereby
accommodate reducing the pressure in the controls of the continuously
variable transmission and thereby change the ratio rapidly.
