  • Patent number: 4239987
    Abstract: This relates to an electronic circuit which is designed to supply 115 volts AC power to loads of up to 550 watts for a predetermined time period of wide latitude. An "on" cycle is initiated by momentary closure of an external control line pair with a closed contact current flow of less than one half milliampere. The "on" controller may be located at any convenient distance from the load switching circuit and may be a coin operated switch. The electronic power control circuit is fabricated from discrete components including one integrated circuit installed on a printed circuit board (17/8".times.27/8") which is finally encapsulated in a hermetically sealed 2".times.3" module suitable for operation in a moist or corrosive environment.

  • Patent number: 4210113
    Abstract: A valve is disclosed which is designed for injecting air into an internal combustion engine fuel/air inlet system under controlled conditions, i.e., no air is injected in the engine idle phase (typically under high manifold vacuum from 17 to 20 inches of mercury (in. Hg)). Air injection takes place by means of this valve as a differential function of manifold pressure which is related to throttle opening, (typically starting at about 16 in. of Hg and fully open to atmospheric air at about 8 to 10 inches of Hg, corresponding to open throttle conditions at normal vehicle cruise. The injection valve disclosed herein is designed for installation in series with the engine crankcase scavenging hose on the manifold side of the pollution control valve (PCV). Air flow through the manifold injection valve is controlled by a spring loaded piston and cylinder assembly which is actuated by a vacuum control hose connected to a take off point on the engine inlet manifold.
