Abstract: A cooking appliance control system for use during the Jewish Holidays or Sabbath. A timer is in communication with the oven heater element programmed to provide for scheduled activations and deactivations of the element during the Holidays. Prior to the Holiday the timer is programmed, the oven is activated to the predetermined temperature, and the timer program is then activated to provide for activation of the heater element to the predetermined temperature and deactivation in accordance with the schedule during the Holiday. Additionally, a switch selectively activates and deactivates the ignition circuits of the burners. This permits, one of the gas burner heater elements to be lighted by the appliance before the Holiday when the ignition circuits are activated to provide a flame to light the other burners when the ignition circuits are deactivated during the Holiday.

Abstract: A security system is provided that includes a time dependant security badge to be worn by a person. The security badge includes a metalized reflective film having an upper surface and lower surface, the upper surface having an initial reflectivity. An oxidizing film for electrochemically oxidizing the initial metalized reflective surface to a final reflectivity after the passage of a predetermined period of time is placed in contact with the lower surface of the metalized film. The badge is illuminated with a predetermined wavelength of light and then scanned, e.g., with a CCTV, to detect the reflectivity of the upper surface of the metalized reflective film to signal an initial security status of the person when it detects the initial reflectivity of the metalized reflective film and to signal a final security status of the person when it detects the final reflectivity of the metalized reflective film.

Abstract: A thin film capacitor is formed of a thin crystalline electrically insulative or semiconductive substrate. With the insulative substrate a thin conductive metal layer is deposited on the substrate and a thin film of a crystalline strontium barium niobate deposited on the thin conductive metal layer so that its 2.77.ANG. spaced atomic planes are oriented in a non-perpendicular manner to the substrate and an additional thin conductive layer is deposited on the surface of the strontium barium niobate film. When a semiconductive substrate is employed the strontium barium niobate film is deposited directly on the substrate. These capacitors exhibit a low temperature coefficient of capacitance and a high capacitance density.
