    Abstract: Method and apparatus for providing a stratified charge of two constituents in the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine when the engine is operated at less than full load to reduce all three undesirable exhaust emissions, i.e., hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen. One constituent of the stratified charge comprises exhaust gas, mixed with air if desired; and the other a fuel/air mixture, having exhaust gases mixed therewith if desired, to produce reduced quantities of oxides of nitrogen. The exhaust gas portion of the exhaust gas/air mixture provided in the combustion chamber at all partial engine loads is selected from that portion of the exhaust gases which was formed by the burning of the fuel/air mixture constituent of a previous stratified charge. At relatively heavy engine loads, when all of the exhaust gases formed by the burning of the fuel/air mixture constituent of a previous stratified charge cannot be recycled, a secondary selection is made to recycle either the bulk gases thereof (high in carbon monoxide) or the quench gases thereof (high in hydrocarbons) or all of one and as much of the other as possible. The relative amounts of the fuel/air mixture and exhaust gas/air mixture making up the stratified charge may be varied in response to accelerator position by auxiliary intake and exhaust timing valves which are actuated by variable timing control mechanism, with a maximum quantity of fuel/air mixture and a minimum quantity of exhaust gas/air mixture being introduced for full engine load, and vice versa for minimum load. During deceleration the fuel/air mixture intake can be completely cut off until engine idling speed is reached when, of course, a sufficient fuel/air mixture is again supplied to keep the engine running.

    Abstract: An improved bedwetting detection device is responsive to moisture in the bed of the user to create an alarm when bedwetting occurs. The device includes controlling circuitry connected to metallic conductors (12, 14) installed in the bed of the user. The circuitry periodically provides electrical pulses to the conductors (12, 14) so as to minimize the introduction of electrical impulses into the bed of the user. Furthermore, the pulse created by the circuitry is of a very low voltage so as to further minimize the amount of electrical energy introduced into the bed of the user.
