Abstract: An engine start system includes a starter starting an engine, a starter drive relay controlling the starter and an engine ECU connected to a starter switch for controlling on/off of the starter drive relay based on a predetermined start condition. The engine start system further includes a normally closed relay connected to the starter switch, the engine ECU and the starter for establishing a de-energized state between the starter switch and the starter upon energization from the engine ECU to an exciting coil and establishing an energized state between the starter switch and the starter upon de-energization of the exciting coil. The engine ECU includes a circuit energizing the exciting coil of the normally closed relay upon turn-on of the engine ECU.

Abstract: An engine start system includes a starter (600) starting an engine, a starter drive relay (300) controlling the starter (600) and an engine ECU (100) connected to a starter switch (200) for controlling on/off of the starter drive relay (300) based on a predetermined start condition. The engine start system further includes a normally closed relay (400) connected to the starter switch (200), the engine ECU (100) and the starter (600) for establishing a de-energized state between the starter switch (200) and the starter (600) upon energization from the engine ECU (100) to an exciting coil and establishing an energized state between the starter switch (200) and the starter (600) upon de-energization of the exciting coil. The engine ECU (100) includes a circuit energizing the exciting coil of the normally closed relay (400) upon turn-on of the engine ECU (100).

Abstract: A coating composition particularly suitable for coating poly(phenylene oxide) comprises aqueous medium-dispersed particles of: A) between about 30 and about 35 wt %, of a first styrene-acrylic polymer formed of monomers, between about 50 and about 80 mole % of which monomers are styrene or substituted styrene monomers, between about 2 and about 15 mole percent of which monomers are acrylonitrile, and between about 18 and about 48 mole percent of which are acrylic monomers, said first styrene-acrylic polymer having an acid number of about 15 or below; B) between about 30 and 35 wt %, of an acrylic second polymer formed of monomers, at least about 90 mole percent of which monomers are acrylate monomers, balance other &agr;, &bgr;-ethylenically unsaturated monomers, said acrylic second polymer having an acid number between 0 and about 25; and C) between about 30 and about 40 wt % of an acrylic-urethane hybrid polymer.
