  • Fail-safe system for an anti-skid control system for an automotive brake system
    Patent number: 4980832
    Abstract: An anti-skid brake control system is designed to periodically generate short commands ordering an APPLICATION mode operation to increase braking pressure while the system operates in a RELEASE mode. An anti-skid control signal is then monitored to make a judgement that failure occurs in the anti-skid brake control system when the control signal is not periodically switched from RELEASE mode to APPLICATION mode.

  • Pleated charged media air filter
    Patent number: 4978372
    Abstract: An electrostatic air filtration system of the charged media type wherein contact between the filter media and the electrostatic charging media of the filter is minimized or eliminated to increase the efficiency of the filter. The fibrous filter media is either corrugated to minimize its contact with the charging media or separated from the charging media by nonconductive spacers. This dramatically increases the efficiency of the filter by reducing the voltage drop on the charged media caused by conduction across a filter medium in close contact with both a charged and a grounded medium.
