The present invention is directed to rigid disposable food containers provided with a relatively steep sidewall with a generally linear profile and an outwardly flared arcuate flange portion. The containers are further characterized by a flange outer vertical drop wherein the ratio of the length of the vertical drop to the characteristic diameter of the container is greater than about 0.01. By virtue of unique geometry, the containers of the invention exhibit improved rigidity and / or rim stiffness yet have favorable runnability in pressware manufacturing systems characteristic of plates of lower strength.

A method of operating an engine, comprising of performing homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion during a first operating condition, and performing spark ignition combustion during a second operating condition, where an amount of directly injected alcohol in at least one of said homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion and said spark ignition combustion is varied in response to at least an operating parameter.

In a 2-motor drive mode with connection of both motors with a driveshaft by means of a transmission, a hybrid vehicle sets torque commands of the motors to substantially equalize an output torque of the second motor with an output torque of the first motor and to ensure output of a torque equivalent to a preset torque demand to the driveshaft. This arrangement ensures continuous output of a relatively large torque.

A method for curatively or preventively controlling phytopathogenic fungi of plants or crops is disclosed. A method for treating seed and a method for protecting seed are disclosed.

An automatic transmission ratio shift and shift feel control system and method for a powertrain having an engine, multiple-ratio gearing controlled by friction elements actuated by hydraulic pressure, an output shaft torque sensor producing a signal representing the magnitude of current output torque, an electronic controller for controlling the target output torque based on the current output torque, increasing the torque capacity of the oncoming friction element and decreasing the torque capacity of the offgoing friction element after a gear ratio change is initiated. During the inertia phase of the ratio change, the controller controls the engine speed to follow a predetermined rate of change of input speed. The strategy employs an electronic throttle and closed loop engine torque control and closed loop engine speed control at various phases of the gear shift, to improve shift feel. Various engine parameters, including throttle position, ignition timing, engine air-fuel ratio, and engine airflow, control engine torque and speed, are used to control input torque or input speed, depending upon the shift phase.

A device for controlling the drive of an endless movable member of the present invention includes a mark sensor responsive to a plurality of marks continuously positioned on the movable member at preselected intervals in the direction of movement of the movable member. A speed / position controller controls either one of speed and position by using the output of the mark sensor. A discontinuity sensing circuit determines whether or not a discontinuous portion in which a distance between nearby marks does not lie in a preselected range is present in a sensing region assigned to the mark sensor. The speed / position controller varies speed control or position control in accordance with the output of the discontinuity sensing circuit.

The present invention provides methods and systems of repositioning teeth for use in orthodontic treatment, with particular applicability to removable elastic repositioning appliances. Such appliances may be challenged by traditional tooth movements which intrude the crown of the tooth or present tooth positions which reduce available points of purchase. These challenges may be overcome with a series of tooth movements in which a tooth is translated in a “root-first” position. The movements may take advantage of the inherent characteristics of elastic repositioning appliances in translating a tooth from a first position to a desired position along a gingival plane.

The invention relates to a device and to a method for determining the position for a working part of a tool on a working machine with a position-determining apparatus (2, 4, 5, 6; 2, 4a, 4b, 5, 6′; 31, 33, 49, 50, 51, 1′,53). At least one detector equipment (4, 5, 6; 4a, 4b, 5, 6′; 31, 33; 49, 50, 51, 53) is placed at a defined place on the working machine (3; 52) in order to determine the position of this position in a fixed coordinate system. At least one positional relationship device (11) determines the positional relation of the working part in relation to the detector equipment in a machine-based coordinate system. A calculating device (20) calculates, with signals from the position-determining apparatus and the positional relationship device, the position of the working part in the fixed coordinate system. The position-determining apparatus comprises an inclination- and orientation-measuring device (5, 20; 4a, 4b, 20; 31, 20; 51, 20) so that the apparatus measures both the instantaneous position and orientation of said position of the working machine in the fixed coordinate system. The calculating device (20) converts the measuring result from the position-determining apparatus and the positional relationship device in order to give the instantaneous position and / or orientation of the working part in the fixed coordinate system.
