Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080268190DEGRADABLE, SOFT-FEEL NETTING - The present invention provides degradable extruded netting. The netting comprises a plurality of oriented interconnected strands that intersect during extrusion. At least some of the strands include a degradable composition comprising a stiffening agent, a degradable material and a crystallinity inhibiting agent. In some embodiments, the stiffening agent comprises a polylactic acid polymer, the degradable material comprises a polyester degradable plasticizer, and the crystallinity inhibiting agent comprises a starch-based polymer. In certain embodiments, the degradable composition may comprise 10 to 70 weight percent polylactic acid polymer, 15 to 75 weight percent polyester degradable plasticizer, and 5 to 30 weight percent starch-based polymer. In other embodiments, the degradable composition may further comprise a friction reducing additive.10-30-2008

20100160112METHOD OF CONTROLLING AN ELECTRO-ACTUATED CLUTCH FOR DETERMINING THE CLOSING POSITION - A method of controlling an electro-actuated clutch in an internal combustion engine, which clutch is provided with a clutch mechanism, an electric motor for actuating the clutch mechanism, and a mechanical transmission which is interposed between the electric motor and the clutch mechanism; the method includes the steps of establishing, during a manufacturing phase of the system, a detachable connection in the mechanical transmission, wherein a first element simply rests on a second element to divide the electro-actuated clutch into a first part, arranged upstream of the detachable connection, and a second part arranged downstream of the detachable connection; reading a first position signal generated by a first position sensor mechanically connected to a point of the first portion of the electro-actuated clutch; reading a second position signal generated by a second position sensor mechanically connected to a point of the second portion of the electro-actuated clutch; comparing the first position signal with the second position signal; recognizing the position in which the first position signal starts differing from the second position signal; and estimating the closing position of the clutch mechanism coinciding with the position in which the first position signal starts differing from the second position signal.06-24-2010
