    Abstract: An electric motor, which is preferably a disk drive spindle motor, contains a multi-phase stator driven by switching the phases of drive current at corresponding commutation angles of the rotor. Small semi-random offsets are introduced into the commutation angles at which the drive current is switched, spreading the frequency of excitation over a wider range, and reducing the peak harmonic excitation at the switching frequency. Preferably, a table of offsets is maintained, and an offset from the table is added to each commutation point. The table preferably has more entries than the number of commutation points, the entries being cycled on a round-robin or other basis.

    Abstract: A clear soap bar formulation based on sodium cocoyl isethionate (SCI) and method for producing a clear soap bar. The soap bar formulation uses a SCI prepared with metal catalyst (for example zinc) to promote faster and more economical production of SCI. The clear soap bar is formed from a preliminary mixture of propylene glycol, sorbitol, sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), glycerin, water, stearic acid and myristic acid. Sodium hydroxide is added for saponification of the fatty acids to form soap. The resulting mixture is stirred until homogeneous, and a chelating agent is added. The mixture is stirred again until homogeneous. SCI is then added, and the mixture is stirred until substantially clear. The mixture is then allowed to sit without stirring for a period of time, in order to allow air bubbles to rise to the top of the vessel. The mixture is poured into molds and allowed to cool undisturbed.
