20130185872 | METHOD TO DETERMINE FABRIC TYPE IN A LAUNDRY TREATING APPLIANCE USING MOTOR CURRENT SIGNATURE DURING AGITATION - Disclosed is a method of operating a laundry treating appliance having a treating chamber that receives a laundry load for treatment according to a cycle of operation. The method includes determining the size of the laundry load in the treating chamber; supplying a predetermined amount of liquid to the treating chamber based on the determined load size; applying mechanical energy to the laundry treating chamber by driving a clothes mover with an electric motor; determining a difference between an in-rush current to the electric motor and a steady-state current of the electric motor during the applying of the mechanical energy; and determining a laundry load type of the laundry load based on the determined difference. | 07-25-2013 |
20140326067 | METHOD OF DETERMINING FABRIC TYPE OF A LAUNDRY LOAD IN A LAUNDRY TREATING APPLIANCE - A method of determining a fabric type for a laundry load can include comparing the density of the laundry load in a first wetted state, which may be a dry state or a partially saturated state, to the density of the laundry load in a second wetted state, which may be a partially saturated, fully saturated, or beyond fully saturated state, and determining a fabric type based on the comparison. | 11-06-2014 |
20150047128 | METHOD TO DETECT THE TYPE OF A LOAD IN A LAUNDRY TREATING APPLIANCE - A method of determining load type in a laundry treating appliance having a treating chamber for receiving laundry, a rotatable laundry mover, and a motor operably coupled to the rotatable laundry mover includes steps to apply a perturbation force to the laundry in the treating chamber by rotating the laundry mover with the motor; determine the response of the motor torque to the perturbation force during the rotating of the laundry mover; and determine a load type based on the determined response. | 02-19-2015 |

20140145642 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IGNITION AND OPERATION OF A HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LAMP - A method for ignition of a ceramic high intensity discharge (HID) lamp. The method includes applying to the electrodes multiple pre-ignition voltage pulses of sufficiently short duration to avoid igniting the HID lamp. The pre-ignition voltage pulses heat the electrodes prior to ignition to avoid arcing in the bores of the capillaries surrounding the electrodes. The ignition circuit is configured subsequent to application of the pre-ignition voltage pulses to apply an ignition pulse to ignite the HID lamp. | 05-29-2014 |

20100012902 | Preparation Of Silicone Rubber Elastomers - A multi part hydrosilylation curable silicone elastomer composition comprising (i) an organopolysiloxane comprising at least two unsaturated groups and having a viscosity of at least 1,000 mPas at 25° C.; (ii) inorganic filler having a hydrophilic surface; (iii) a filler treating agent comprising an organopolysiloxane comprising at least 2 hydroxy or otherwise hydrolysable groups, or a mixture thereof and having an average degree of polymerisation of from 2 to 50; (iv) an organohydrogensiloxane having an average of greater than two silicon bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule having a viscosity of up to about 10 PaS at 25° C.; (v) a hydrosilylation catalyst; and/or a treated filler obtained by the reaction of (ii) and (iii) above characterised in that the filler treating agent (iii) and/or treated filler is packaged separately from organohydrogensiloxane (iv) prior to curing. | 01-21-2010 |
20100048743 | Method of Recycling Plastic - The present invention relates to a method of separating a cured silicone composition and a plastic. The first step of the method comprises combining a cured silicone composition and a plastic with a liquid that has a specific gravity between that of the cured silicone composition and that of the plastic. The second step of the method comprises allowing the cured silicone composition and the plastic to stratify in the liquid, and the third step comprises physically separating the cured silicone composition and the plastic by removing one of the strata from the liquid. | 02-25-2010 |
20110104470 | METHOD OF FORMING A CURABLE ADHESIVE TAPE AND AN INSULATING LAYER ON A CONDUCTIVE SUBSTRATE - A method of forming a curable adhesive tape comprising a partially cured reaction intermediary comprises applying a silicone composition onto a flexible substrate. The method further comprises heating the silicone composition to a first desired temperature for a first period of time to form the partially cured reaction intermediary of the curable adhesive tape. A method of forming an insulating layer on a conductive substrate utilizes the same steps as the method of forming the curable adhesive tape and further comprises the steps of disposing the flexible substrate on the conductive substrate and further heating the partially cured reaction intermediary to a second desired temperature for a second period of time to form the insulating layer on the conductive substrate. | 05-05-2011 |
