Abstract: An electronic position sensor assembly and engine control system (10) in which two sensing elements (13, 14) in a dual sensor (12) provide separate, independent position signals (A, B) related to multi-cylinder engine cycle position by sensing the angular position of a engine-rotated slotted wheel (11). The sensing elements provide identical sensing signals shifted from each other by a predetermined angular amount (d). In response to the simultaneous providing of a pulse by both sensing elements, a first reference signal (at 22) identifying a reference cylinder is provided for controlling electronic distribution of spark timing and/or fuel injection signals to engine cylinders (17-20). In response to a selected one of the sensing elements producing a pulse which has a predetermined longer duration than a preceding produced pulse, a second reference signal (after 50) is produced indicative of top-dead center engine cylinder cycle position for one of the cylinders. In response to detecting a fault in the position signal produced by the one selected sensing element, a switch (27) selects the other of the sensing elements for utilization in producing the second reference signal, and a substitute reference signal circuit (40) provides a substitute first reference signal. A less expensive and more reliable engine position sensor assembly and engine control system is provided since proper system operation is maintained despite a fault in one of the position signals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of cutting a brittle workpiece comprises applying to the surface of the workpiece a pointed tool, applying high frequency vibrations in a longitudinal direction to the tool, and moving the tool along a line to be cut of the workpiece while applying substantially steady longitudinally directed pressure to the tool. Stress is thereby applied to the workpiece as a combination of short impulses and steady direct stress and the breaking stress of the material would be attained coincident with the peak oscillatory stress. Crack propagation would therefore proceed by a series of stepwise fractures induced by successive cyclic stress peaks, resulting ultimately in the separation of the workpiece into two pieces. An apparatus for carrying out the method comprises a piezoceramic transducer (5) to generate ultrasonic vibrations, a tip (1) to be applied to the workpiece and having a hardness greater than that of the workpiece, and means to convey the ultrasonic vibrational energy to the tip.

Abstract: A method of multi-tone printing employs a drop-on-demand printing apparatus (100) for depositing ink droplets on printing element areas of a substrate (111) which is movable relatively to said apparatus. The droplets are deposited from an array of channels (104) on substrate (111) which is movable relatively to the channels. The channels length and nozzle location and dimensions afford each channel with a high longitudinal resonant frequency and electrically actuable means (110,112,114,116,118) supply energy pulses to selected channels at or near the resonant frequency of the channels to deposit from each selected channel in the corresponding printing element area of the substrate a number of drops equal to the number of pulses applied thereto, the number of pulses applied being dependent on the tone of printing required. Single channel and colour versions of the invention are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a unique vehicle system which provides a desirable rheology to products formulated therewith, enhanced dispersion of actives therein, and improved deposition of actives therefrom. This vehicle system comprises a primary thickening agent which is a nonionic long-chain alkylated water-soluble polymer, and a secondary thickening agent which is a water-insoluble surfactant dispersed in a compatible solvent. Optionally, a rheological aid, which is a chelating agent may be included in the vehicle system. Also, optionally, a distributing aid, which is a water-soluble polymer of either high molecular weight or strong ionic character may be included in the vehicle system. These vehicle systems are useful in cosmetic compositions which are used to deliver an active component to the hair or skin. The vehicle systems are particularly useful in hair care compositions, especially rinse-off hair conditioning compositions, because they effectively deliver the hair conditioning component to the hair without depositing a substantial amount of the vehicle material onto the hair.

Abstract: An extruder temperature controller for an extruder barrel and a method for controlling the temperature of an extruder barrel, includes a device for determining an actual screw speed and for storing a plurality of screw speeds. Each member of the plurality of stored screw speeds has a corresponding stored temperature reset value. The extruder temperature controller has a device for comparing and selecting that compares the actual screw speed to each of the plurality of stored screw speeds and selects a default screw speed. The default screw speed has a smaller deviation from the actual screw speed than any other member of the compared, stored screw speeds. The controller further includes a device for generating a control output driver signal to a heat exchanger. The control output driver signal is the corresponding stored temperature reset value for the default screw speed. The adaptive reset value for a specific speed is derived for each extruder barrel zone for each profile table section of setpoints and parameters for a particular extrusion material and particular process.

Abstract: A switch mechanism opens a contact set (1,2) in the event of an undervoltage condition. The mechanism involves a lever assembly (3) biased by a spring (9) for pivoting about one or other of two fulcrums to open or close the contacts respectively. The undervoltage causes a solenoid (6) to release a plunger (7) which initiates operation about a fixed fulcrum (8). A reset device (10) is used manually to initiate operation about a movable fulcrum (4) provided that the voltage is sufficient. An arm (5) is deflected by the plunger to shift the movable fulcrum and also acts to restore the plunger during reset. The switch mechanism may be incorporated in a residual current device which provides the undervoltage condition on detecting an electrical fault. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to a capsaicin-based, refined wax based pesticide which is, environmentally safe pesticide. The pesticide is coupled with a naturally-produced central nervous system stimulant and other naturally-produced irritants, antioxidants; insect repellents, scents, and soil nutrients. Through the synergy between the physical contraction of the wax base, containing capsaicin, as it dehydrates coupled with the higher vapor pressure (volatility) of the scent package, leads to a natural migration of the scent package to the surface of the waxy base thereby maintaining effectiveness for a longer period of time with a decreased frequency of application.
