摘要： A system selectively completes a horn circuit through which electrical power is provided to a horn in an automobile. A relay is connected to a power supply and completes the horn circuit when a current signal passing through the relay has at least a threshold magnitude. A relay driver is selectively activated by processing circuitry. When it is activated, the relay driver is in a conductive state, and when it is not activated, the relay driver is in a high impendance state. When the relay driver is in the conductive state, it places the relay in series with a low potential conductor thereby establishing the current signal at at least the threshold magnitude. The processing circuitry is electrically connected to a manually actuated sensor, which may be a flexible potentiometer. The processing circuitry activates the relay driver when the manually actuated sensor is actuated. The processing circuitry receives electrical power from the relay when the relay driver is in the high impendance state, but receives essentially no electrical power from the relay when the relay driver is in the conductive state. While the processing circuitry receives essentially no electrical power from the relay, the processing circuitry momentarily places the relay driver in the high impendance state so that the processing circuitry may receive electrical power from the relay and determine whether the manually actuated sensor is still actuated. An auxiliary power supply provides electrical power to the processing circuitry while electrical power is not received from the relay.
摘要翻译：一种系统选择性地完成一个喇叭电路，通过该喇叭电路向汽车中的喇叭提供电力。当通过继电器的电流信号至少具有阈值幅度时，继电器连接到电源并完成喇叭电路。继电器驱动器由处理电路选择性地激活。继电器驱动器激活时，处于导通状态，当未激活时，继电器驱动器处于高阻塞状态。当继电器驱动器处于导通状态时，它将继电器与低电位导体串联，从而以至少阈值大小建立电流信号。处理电路电连接到手动致动的传感器，传感器可以是柔性电位计。当手动致动的传感器被致动时，处理电路激活继电器驱动器。当继电器驱动器处于高阻塞状态时，处理电路从继电器接收电力，但当继电器驱动器处于导通状态时，基本上不从继电器接收电力。虽然处理电路基本上不从继电器接收电力，但是处理电路将瞬时地将继电器驱动器置于高阻止状态，使得处理电路可以从继电器接收电力并且确定手动致动的传感器是否仍然被致动。辅助电源向处理电路提供电力，而不从继电器接收电力。

摘要： An automobile control system includes a flexible potentiometer that is connected to a horn control circuit. The flexible potentiometer changes resistance as it is deflected. The flexible potentiometer is adjacent to a steering wheel hub cover. The horn control circuit activates a horn in response to deflection of the flexible potentiometer when a driver presses against the hub cover. The horn control circuit responds to rapid changes in the resistance of the flexible potentiometer, but not to more gradual changes caused by, for example, temperature changes. Additional flexible potentiometers may be used to control other functions such as cruise control.

摘要： A preformed necktie has an insert with a pair of connected diverging closed conduits interconnected by a support. A slide post extends from the support proximate the lower ends of the conduits. A tie portion is wrapped about the insert to form a knot and to become the front tie panel. The two ends of a neck-embracing loop have corresponding zipper panels and pass through the conduits to be joined by the slide and form a rear panel of the tie. The neck embracing loop is tightened or loosened by movement through the knot and slide.

摘要： A deflection sensing system for detecting deflection includes one or more deflection sensors between opposing sets of extensions. When one set of extensions is moved toward an opposing set of extensions, the deflection sensors are deflected. A preferred deflection sensor is a flexible potentiometer, which has a resistance that changes as the flexible potentiometer is deflected A flexible potentiometer includes a variable resistance material on a substrate. In a preferred system, the flexible potentiometer includes a cantilevered section, which is deflected about an extension with respect to the remainder of the flexible potentiometer, or with respect to a portion of the substrate not including the variable resistance material. A flexible potentiometer experiences less stress when in cantilevered form than when stretched between two extensions. In either case, the extensions may be joined to first and second corrugated plates. A particular application for the system is in a horn activator used in connection with an automobile air bag system. A corrugated plate may be adhered to the inside of a hub cover. Alternatively, the extensions may be adhered directly to the hub cover. Analyzing circuitry senses the resistance of a resistive grid including flexible potentiometers. The analyzing circuitry interprets a change in resistance to mean there has been a deflection. The analyzing circuitry may consider merely that there has been a change in resistance, or it may consider the amount of change in resistance. The analyzing circuitry may essentially simultaneously analyze the resistance of more than one resistive grid or deflection sensor.

摘要： An apparatus for providing a magnetic visual display in which a magnetic field is exposed to a dispersion medium sealed between two surfaces and having distributed therein randomly-oriented magnetically-active flakes, thereby causing alignment of a portion of the flakes and allowing transmission of light through the dispersion medium in the region of the aligned flakes to form an image by the contrast between the areas of aligned and randomly-oriented flakes. The contrast may be enhanced by a light source on the opposite side of the device from the viewer. The image may be colored by coloring either of the surfaces, the dispersion medium, the flakes or the light from the light source.

摘要： A flexible potentiometer acts as a horn actuator in an automobile horn control system. In a preferred embodiment, the flexible potentiometer is adhered to a flexible substrate, which is in turn adhered to the inside surface of an airbag hub cover. The shape of the flexible potentiometer is chosen so that the automobile horn will sound when the driver presses against particular portions of the outside of the hub cover. The resistance of the flexible potentiometer changes as its shape changes as the user presses against the hub cover. A horn control circuit responds to extremely rapid changes in the resistance of the flexible potentiometer, but not to more gradual changes caused by, for example, temperature changes. Additional flexible potentiometers may be used to control other functions such as cruise control.
