  • Publication number: 20240101933
    Abstract: A phosphate-free automatic dishwashing cleaning composition comprising i) a protease wherein the protease is a variant having at least 60% identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 and comprising at least one amino acid substitution (using the SEQ ID NO: 1 numbering) selected from the group consisting of X54T; X126A, D, G, V, E, K, I; X127E, S, T, A, P, G, C; and X128E, C, T, D, P, G, L, Y, N; and ii) from 10 to 50% by weight of the composition of a complexing agent system comprising from 0 to less than 30% by weight of the composition of citric acid.

  • Patent number: 9428022
    Abstract: The present invention provides a control system operable to raise and lower the height of a vehicle based in part on the response characteristics of the vehicle's suspension and vehicle loading. The control system may develop a vehicle suspension system response by mapping a correlation between changes in air pressure of air springs in the vehicle's suspension and a test valve-open-time. During operation, the control system may predict a valve-open-time in response to a command relating to a target air pressure for the air springs, and then inflate or deflate one or more of the air springs for a duration substantially equal to the predicted valve-open-time. This process may be iterated until the control system achieves, within an acceptable degree of error, the target air pressure for the one or more air springs.

  • Patent number: 8905071
    Abstract: An integrated manifold system maximizes space for the circuit board while enabling efficient control of one or more pneumatic devices. The manifold system includes a manifold block, a solenoid valve attached to the manifold block, and a circuit board for controlling the solenoid and other components of an air suspension system. The manifold block includes at least one service port for connecting to a pneumatic device such as an air spring, and a supply port for connecting to a compressor. The solenoid valve is mounted to the manifold block with its longitudinal length being generally parallel to the service port. The circuit board is mounted adjacent to the solenoid valve and oriented generally parallel to the solenoid and service port. A cover encloses the solenoid valve and the circuit board. In one embodiment, the solenoid valve is in fluid communication with the supply port. The solenoid valve is uniquely associated with the service port.

  • Patent number: 8413997
    Abstract: A vehicle fluid suspension control system includes a fluid supply adapted to fluidly communicate with a lift mechanism in the vehicle. A circuit board is connected to the fluid supply and exhausts fluid from the lift mechanism when the kneel switch is activated. The circuit board may also open a flowpath from the fluid supply to the lift mechanism when a kneel switch is deactivated and the brake pedal is depressed. A manifold may be in fluid communication with the fluid supply and the lift mechanism and may include a supply flowpath and an exhaust flowpath. The control system may be programmed with a height averaging adjustment delay, which determines whether the average height of the vehicle during a period of time is outside of a predetermined range. The control system may make corresponding adjustments to bring the height of the vehicle within the predetermined range.
