摘要： An elevator cab includes primary and auxiliary light sources. A light sensor responsive to light from the primary light source causes activation of the auxiliary light source when the primary light source fails. The light sources are inside the cab for passenger use and/or outside the cab for maintenance worker use. A battery for auxiliary light is selectively charged by first and second current levels in response to the battery voltage being above or below first or second different thresholds.

摘要： A system for controlling the engagement and disengagement of a viscous type coupling is accomplished by controlling the relative positioning of a spring loaded valve arm relative to a fluid port through the use of an electrically-activated, temperature-sensitive wire. The characteristics of wire are such that the wire is hard above a predetermined temperature, but soft and ductile below a predetermined temperature. When engagement or disengagement of the coupling is desired, electrical current is introduced through the wire, therein heating the wire above a predetermined temperature to harden the wire. This hardening causes the valve arm to either move to either cover or uncover a fluid port, depending upon the design arrangement of the valve arm relative to the fluid port. A controller coupled to a plurality of engine operating sensors and a power source controls the electrical activation as a function of a desired operating condition.

摘要： A system for controlling the engagement and disengagement of a viscous type coupling is accomplished by controlling the relative positioning of a spring loaded valve arm relative to a fluid port through the use of an electrically-activated, temperature-sensitive member, such as a NiTi wire. The characteristics of shape memory alloy materials are such that they are hard above a predetermined temperature, but soft and ductile below a predetermined temperature. When engagement or disengagement of the coupling is desired, electrical current is introduced through the member, therein heating it above a predetermined temperature to harden it. This hardening causes the valve arm to either move to either cover or uncover a fluid port, depending upon the design arrangement of the valve arm relative to the fluid port. A controller coupled to a plurality of engine operating sensors and a power source controls the electrical activation as a function of a desired operating condition.

摘要： A method of controlling a fluid actuated fan drive system (12) for an engine (14) includes determining an engine speed. The speed of a fluid actuated engine-cooling fan (16) is limited when the engine speed is greater than or equal to an engine over-speed level. The fluid controlled fan drive system (12) includes a sensor (31) that generates an engine speed signal. The system (12) also includes the fluid actuated engine-cooling fan (16) and an engagement circuit (36) that is coupled thereto. A controller (28) is coupled to the sensor (31) and the engagement circuit (36) and limits operating speed of the engine-cooling fan (16) to less than a predetermined level when the engine speed signal is indicative of an engine over-speed condition.

摘要： Systems and approaches for roasting coffee beans are described whereby a roasting apparatus is provided that includes a container and a heat source. The roasting apparatus is heated to a first temperature. Coffee beans are placed in the container, and at least one variable is measured while the coffee beans are in the container. Upon the at least one variable reaching at least one threshold value, a first quantity of a high-fat solution is added to the container, thereby coming into contact with the coffee beans. In some examples, the high-fat solution may be in the form of a clarified butter, and in particular, ghee butter. The coffee beans are then removed from the heat source to cool.

摘要： A method for determining the presence and/or absence of automobile insurance on State registered vehicles utilizes registered vehicle records and insurance record databases as provided by the State and private sectors. The records contain information indicating the presence of insurance on particular vehicles. A computer controlled by a computer software program compares preselected data fields in each vehicle record with corresponding data in the insurance records. Similar data field comparison(s) is (are) made between the records of the insurance database and the vehicle database. Records lacking matching data are moved to an exceptions database for further verification and handling. Vehicle records not having a matching insurance record are checked on a weekly basis to determine if a corresponding insurance record has been entered subsequently into the insurance database. Vehicle records lacking insurance records are indicative of no vehicle insurance and are delivered to authorities for further actions. Various cross checks of other data fields between the records may be utilized to check the accuracy of the recorded data entered therein.
