Abstract: A cooling module mounting system and method of mounting the package to a vehicle is described. A chassis cross member for providing vertical support to the cooling package is sub-assembled to the cooling module separate from the vehicle where the two mounting surfaces can be held parallel to one another eliminating the possibility of unevenly preloading the isolator. Then this pre-assembled isolated system can be mounted on the truck chassis without changing the relationship of the compressed isolator when the module is bolted down during truck assembly. This system eliminates the fore aft adjustment variability allowing for more control over the static location and isolator compression of the cooling module in the truck. The stay rods used eliminate variation in the rod isolator compression during mounting. The stay rod also allows for controlled multi-axial movement with a mounting centerline perpendicular to the input loads.

Abstract: Aluminum can stock is delacquered by treatment with a composition comprising a mixture of a polyalkylene glycol polymer and an aqueous solution of a dicarboxylic acid such as oxalic acid. The cans are cleaned sufficiently for recycling and the solution can be reused to delacquer additional aluminum can stock.

Abstract: A method for the separation and recovery of foils, in particular aluminum foils, and the other components in waste foil-containing laminates includes subjecting the waste laminates to agitation in a heated polyalkylene glycol polymer solution. The thus heated mixture is cooled to permit density variations to separate the plastic and paper components of the waste laminate from the foil components therein. The separated foil components can be recovered from the polyalkylene glycol polymer solution for recycle or other use. Using a polyalkylene glycol polymer solution permits recovery of the glycol polymer in a heated recovery tank to recycle the polymer to facilitate further foil separation while minimizing adverse effects on the environment.

Abstract: Metal working lubricants consisting essentially of water and complex organic phosphate esters are disclosed. These compositions offer simplified compositions while maintaining the desired properties of more complex systems.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming laminates of plastics resin films and metallic foils. The plastics resin film is adhesively bonded to the metallic foil. The bonded laminate is then rolled under pressure to thin both the plastics resin film and metallic foil layers. In addition to reducing the thickness of the laminate, the rolling operation increases the length of the laminate and orients the plastics resin film in the machine direction.

Abstract: A voltage regulator for regulating the output voltage of a diode-rectified alternating current generator that supplies the electrical loads on a motor vehicle including the storage battery. The voltage regulator has an up-down counter which is incremented when the output voltage of the generator is below a desired regulated value and is decremented when the output voltage of the generator is above the desired regulating value. The magnitude of the count in the counter is repeatedly sampled and used to determine the on time of a semiconductor switch that is connected in series with the field winding to thereby control the duty cycle of the field voltage pulses. The counter is incremented at a lower rate when the speed of the engine that drives the generator is below a predetermined speed than it is when the speed of the engine is above the predetermined speed. When the generator is not rotating, the up-count of the counter is limited to a predetermined value that provides a minimum field voltage duty cycle.

Abstract: An improved water soluble metal working lubricant concentrate is disclosed. The lubricant concentrate consists essentially of a polyalkylene glycol polymer, an ethoxylated carboxylic acid or alcohol, a complex organic phosphate ester, an alkanolamine and water.

Abstract: A bridge rectifier for a diode-rectified alternating current generator that is comprised of two metallic heat sinks formed respectively of copper and aluminum that are separated by an electrical insulator. Each heat sink carries a plurality of semiconductor diode chips. The diode chips are electrically connected to electrical connectors that are insert molded to insulator blocks that are supported by one of the heat sinks. The electrical connectors are adapted to be connected to the phase windings of an alternating current generator. The aluminum heat sink has a finned area which is adapted to be contacted by cooling air when the bridge rectifier is mounted in the generator.

Abstract: A power supply system for feeding low cold resistance incandescent lamps from a diode-rectified alternating current generator where the system does not have a battery or other voltage source for energizing the lamps. A control circuit is connected between the generator and lamps that includes a resistor that can be bypassed by the closure of relay contacts. The control circuit energizes the lamps such that generator voltage does not collapse when the relay contacts close. The resistor can have a negative temperature coefficient of resistance.

Abstract: A voltage regulating system for a generator that supplies the battery and electrical loads on a motor vehicle. The system includes a load response control for detecting whenever a substantial electrical load is applied to the generator tending to cause a drop in generator output voltage and when such a condition is detected field current is controlled to gradually increase field current from some value. The load response control includes means for storing an electrical signal that corresponds to generator field current and for utilizing this stored value to set generator field current at a value corresponding to a field current that occurred just prior to the detected drop in voltage and then increasing field current slowly from this value.
