    Abstract: An electromagnetic release apparatus and method are provided for unfastening a magnetically actuated surveillance marker clip assembly from an article. The release apparatus includes a primary solenoid coil that, when energized, produces a magnetic field of sufficient force to initially unlock the clip assembly for removal. A secondary magnet produces another magnetic field sufficient in force to retain the clip assembly in the unlocked position. The secondary magnet is mounted to a piston slidably received in the central bore of the primary solenoid coil. The primary solenoid coil is energized by inserting the clip assembly into the central bore of the coil, thereby, pressing the piston downwardly until it closes a "one-shot" microswitch. The electrical charge of a capacitor is then discharged through the primary coil to produce the relatively high power magnetic field for unlocking the clip assembly. A clip assembly removal reminder system assures proper processing of an article and removal of the clip assembly by the clerk or cashier. The system includes an interrogation and detection circuit for detecting the presence of a clip assembly at a final checkout station. An alarm remains continuously activated until the clip assembly is removed from the final checkout station and the release apparatus is activated to remove the clip assembly from the article.

    Abstract: A headliner assembly includes a molded structural headliner frame. The headliner frame can include at least one accessory integrally molded to the headliner frame. The headliner frame imparts structural integrity to the headliner assembly. The use of a molded headliner frame incorporating at least one integrally molded accessory reduces the overall weight and cost of the headliner assembly. Also, the use of integrally molded accessories eliminates cost in the manufacture of the headliner assembly, which is an improvement over the prior art.

    Abstract: A temperature-sensitive relay is provided with a resilient, movable cantilever composed of amorphous ferromagnetic material having a Curie point. The cantilever is adapted to carry a first contact member. A second contact member is disposed adjacent the first contact member for at least intermittently establishing electrical contact with the first contact member. The relay is adapted to be connected to circuitry having a power source for providing an electrical current and a switching mechanism for activating the circuitry in response to a preselected condition. A magnet is associated with and adapted to bias the cantilever to a first position that interrupts electrical continuity between the first and second contact members. The cantilever is transformed from a ferromagnetic phase to a paramagnetic phase when its temperature exceeds the Curie point, whereby the cantilever assumes a second position in which the electrical continuity is established. A heating means is connected to the circuitry and disposed in the vicinity of the cantilever for heating the cantilever to effect the transformation during a preselected time interval following activation of the circuitry. The relay is lightweight, compact, economical to manufacture and reliable in operation.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a self-dimming mirror for a vehicle. The mirror includes a layer of microspheres which contain microparticles and a dielectric liquid. The microparticles have an electrical charge and move between a dispersed state and a segregated state in response to the polarity of an electrical charge on an adjacent electrode. In a first embodiment, the microparticles are reflective and their reflectivity of an incidence light is determined by whether the microparticles are in the dispersed state or the segregated state. In a second embodiment, microparticles include a pigment layer and the transmissivity of an incidence light through the microsphere is determined by whether the microparticles are in a dispersed state or a segregated state. Thus, the present invention provides an electronic dimming mechanism for a mirror.

    Abstract: A surveillance marker clip assembly includes a dual pin head section having a smooth pin for insertion through the article to be protected and a grooved securing pin. The grooved securing pin is positively received and maintained in a locking mechanism including a pair of latching chocks. Flanges are provided on the latching chocks. The flanges provide secure and positive edge-to-edge mating engagement with the grove of the pin so as to resist forced withdrawal of the pin and removal of the marker from the article. A spring biases the chocks into engagement with sloped inner cam surfaces of the clip assembly housing thus forcing the chocks into a closed position. A spring steel biasing element may also be provided concentrically disposed around the chocks to further maintain the chocks in the closed position. The chocks are made of soft ferromagnetic material so as to be openable for the release of the securing pin by means of an electromagnetic release mechanism positioned at the cashier counter.

    Abstract: This invention comprises a vibration sensor for detecting engine knock. The sensor has a tuning mechanism which is mechanically resonant with a preselected vibrational frequency. The resonating movements of this tuning mechanism are adapted to apply varying stress to an associated magnetostrictive element. A magnetic biasing element imparts a magnetization to the magnetostrictive element and a detecting means is associated with the magnetostrictive element for detecting changes in the magnetization caused by the varying applied stress.
