Abstract: An enhanced control system for an electronic automatic transmission enables the transmission to operate in a full neutral idle, a reverse lockout, and an inching mode. These functions improve the mileage and durability of the operation of the transmission. They also enable the inching mode for use especially in industrial applications.

Abstract: A vehicle having an electronic, automatic transmission incorporates a safety stop system. A position sensor or sensors are mounted onto the vehicle and are in communication with an electric controller. The electric controller in turn is operatively connected to the actuation solenoids in the hydraulic transmission. When a safety violation occurance is detected, then the electric controller either slows the speed of the vehicle or stops the vehicle through the transmission.

Abstract: A ventilator assembly for attachment in an opening in a partition such as a ceiling of a structure such as a dwelling. The ventilator assembly includes a housing having an elongated body portion of sufficient length to extend through insulation which may be disposed adjacent the partition. A first removable cap member having a central opening therethough is disposed on a first end of the housing and a second removable cap member is secured to a second end of the housing. The second cap member is provided with air inlet means having a grill secured thereover. In one embodiment of the invention, a filter is provided in the grill of the air inlet means and in the removable first cap member. Additionally, activated carbon filters are provided in the interior of the housing. In a second embodiment, the removable first cap member supports an electric motor and exhaust fan therein and a movable baffle is mounted in the housing adjacent the air inlet means of the second cap member.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for determining the center axis of the largest solid of rotation obtainable from an irregular, elongated object such as a log or veneer block. The object is rotatably supported by two pairs of opposed wheeled supports positioned inward of the ends of the object. A motor-driven press roller maintains the object in contact with the wheeled supports and causes it to rotate thereon. The motion of the ends of the object as it rotates is used to define a locus of points at each end of the log. The centers of the largest circles which fit within these loci define the desired center axis.

Abstract: A valve device for a metering unit is provided with a planar sheet flexible diaphragm adapted to be formed in the area over the valve seat by placing the valve cover on the valve body with the flexible diaphragm therebetween. Means for forming the planar sheet flexible diaphragm over the valve area into an arcuate-shaped fluid channel portion are provided on the valve case.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling the dispensing of fluid from a source at a hydrostatic pressure involving the sequential measuring and dispensing of predetermined volumetric increments of fluid from the source of fluid during different ones of a series of time intervals. Apparatus is also provided for controlling the dispensing of fluid, including metering means for receiving a predetermined increment of fluid and for emptying the predetermined increment of fluid, conduit means for delivering fluid from a source of fluid to the metering means, and control means for actuating the metering means between a condition for receiving one predetermined increment of fluid and a condition for emptying the predetermined increment of fluid.

Abstract: A parenteral fluid administration apparatus is provided as an assembled sterile kit which can be placed in use rapidly without danger of contamination. Means are provided for automatically supplying a predetermined amount of parenteral fluid through the conduit between the parenteral fluid supply and the needle adapter to remove entrapped air therein as the apparatus is set up for use.

Abstract: In a refrigerator comprising a cabinet, means to refrigerate contents of a chamber within the cabinet, a door for access to such chamber, a fan to circulate air within such chamber, and a switch operable with the door to a first mode wherein the switch enables the fan when the door is closed and to a second mode wherein the switch disables the fan when the door is opened, a relay having contacts arranged to be closed after a delay of preset duration from energization of the relay and to be opened upon deenergization of the relay is connected so as to be energized in the second mode of said switch, so as to be deenergized in the first mode of the switch, and so as to enable the fan when the contacts are closed. A lamp indicates that the contacts are closed.
