Abstract: Surfactant systems and compositions incorporating the same are disclosed for use as rinse aids on plastics and other wares. The surfactant systems and compositions include both liquid and solid formulations, along with methods of use for treating plastics and other wares. The surfactant systems and compositions provide synergistic combinations allowing lower actives in composition formulations of the plastic-compatible surfactant systems providing good sheeting, wetting and drying properties.

Abstract: A shift control system that controls gear shifts in a vehicle includes a transmission and a controller. The controller detects driving conditions of the vehicle, estimates a traction load of the vehicle and determines a current traction load of the vehicle. The controller shifts the transmission based on the current traction load and the estimated traction load if the driving conditions are met. The current traction load is based on a lateral acceleration signal and a longitudinal acceleration signal. The estimated traction load is based on a curb weight of the vehicle, a weight transfer gain and an acceleration signal.
