Abstract: The described methods and systems enable a control panel for a safety valve in a safety system of a process control environment to couple to a safety loop that couples a logic solver to a valve positioner for the safety valve. The control panel may drive a loop current on the safety loop to a desired range, thereby causing the valve positioner to respond by initiating a desired function triggered by the loop current entering the desired range. The desired function may be a trip function, a reset function, or a stroke test function.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering multiple bursts of stinky air using a scent dispensing system is disclosed. A scent dispensing system comprising a scent chamber, liquid scent, a trigger switch, a positive pressured air source, a first one-way valve, and a second one-way valve. The operation of the system begins with loading the liquid scent into the scent chamber and sealing it, then activating the trigger switch causing the positive pressured air source to direct incoming air to the first one-way valve, the first one-way valve opens upon the incoming air reaching a desired positive pressure flowing incoming air through the first one-way valve into the scent chamber, the scent chamber combines the incoming air with the liquid scent thereby producing stinky air, the second one-way valve opens upon the pressure in the scent chamber reaching a desired positive pressure, thereby flowing the pressurized stinky air through the second one-way valve and out of the system, away from the vehicle.

Abstract: A carburetor throttle and choke control mechanism incorporating a choke-throttle cold-start fast idle setting latch mechanism having, in a first embodiment, a blade of a fast idle lever specially contoured for creating upon interengagement with a tang on a throttle lever initial torque resistance to co-rotation of the fast idle lever toward latched condition and then effecting force reversal for creating aiding torque to accelerate the fast idle lever relative to choke lever and thereby open a gap in the push coupling that remains in the latched position of the choke and throttle valves. The choke lever has a relatively rigid pusher leg portion adapted for abutment in push relation with a fast idle lever tang. In a second embodiment an extension of the leg portion in the form of a generally U-shaped resilient spring hook portion is adapted to overlap the tang and releasably hook engage the same when the leg portion is brought into full push abutment with said tang.

Abstract: An engine intake control mechanism has a throttle valve that can be rotated to a cold-starting position in response to the closing movement of a choke valve and, even if the throttle valve is opened beyond the cold-starting position, the choke valve is retained at the cold-starting position. Only when the throttle valve is subsequently actuated to return to its original closed position is the choke valve automatically returned to its original opened position. The engine intake control mechanism is especially useful in top handle type portable power working machines, which are subject to undesirable movements of the throttle control lever on the top handle when the engine is being started.
