Nigerians have been advised to use plantain flour as healthier options to wheat and cassava flour for baking.
The National President of the Concerned Youth Empowerment Association of Nigeria (CYEAN), Mr Noble Adaelu, who made the call said Nigerians are yet to tap from the enormous nutritional value of plantain.
He said Plantains are so versatile and nutritious; if you are looking for flour alternative, then, look no further because you can make pizza, chips, bread, dessert and many more from plantain flour.
He added that the demand is on the increase due to more awareness of its health benefits as it is rich in iron, vitamins A, B, C, magnesium and phosphorus.
Mr. Adaelu gave the nutritional value to include its high resistant starch which helps to make people slimmer and healthier, they are diuretic and can help prevent ulcer, kidney and bladder problems and are essential for healthy pregnancy”.
Adaelu said plantain flour technology is completely indigenous Andes currently being commercialised by Nocon Plantain Foods Limited could save foreign exchange for the country.
He projected that the technology would employ 500 professional/non-professional youths for a start in every state of the federation.
The president, therefore, urged youths to venture into plantain cultivation to meet the increasing demand of raw material.

Bill McKibben reminds us that we can’t put climate change on hold until we think it’s economically convenient; the natural world has its own priorities, and we don’t get to vote. If you understand why putting a lid on carbon emissions is urgent, you know why it can’t be pushed back to the middle of the to-do list.
But there is another point to be made, crucially. In the end, there is only one resource constraint the government faces in its effort to contain the financial crisis and prevent recession from morphing into depression: the requirement that external deficits be financed. The Fed can wave its wand and create finance out of thin air—so long as this doesn’t lead to a panicked flight from the dollar. As it was in the beginning of the crisis, so it shall be in its long unfolding: dollars going out must find their way back in.
This constraint is invisible at the moment, because treasuries are seen as the safest asset in an unsafe world. In fact, money is flowing in at such a pace that the Fed has had to set up a network of currency swaps to make sure other central banks have enough dollars. But that sentiment will change at some point, perhaps suddenly, and when it does the feasibility of the current free-spending bailout will be in question.
There is no single solution to this problem (although I’ve argued in the past that bailing out the private sector’s old losses to generate new finance makes it worse). One significant step, however, is to push down the US oil import bill as far as it can go. A carbon cap along the lines Obama the candidate advocated last winter would be just the ticket. If we jack up the price of oil through a hard-nosed cap, imports will fall. And, as I also argued in an earlier post, households would benefit if the auction revenues were returned to them more or less in full. Rather than paying out to oil companies and petrostates and never seeing their money again, their payments would be captured by the auctions and handed back to them. Importance for the financial crisis: less oil imports mean a lower current account deficit, and therefore less reliance on external financing. It pushes the resource constraint out.

The number-two in the Wisconsin Assembly says if lawmakers can’t come to terms on an early count law, it is up to Milwaukee to restore the voters’ faith in their election operation.
Assembly Majority Leader Tyler August, R-Lake Geneva, said Republicans in the Senate should vote on the plan. If they don’t, August said, then Milwaukee’s election managers need to act.
“It’s incumbent upon the city of Milwaukee to get their act together and count those ballots during the day and have that done so that there isn’t constantly this question about the processes in the city of Milwaukee,” August said.
Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu said he doesn’t have the votes to pass Monday Count legislation. It would allow Milwaukee to count ballots the day before election day in order to avoid an after-midnight vote dump.
Milwaukee uses a central count location, and election managers in the city say that slows down the counting of absentee ballots. Many times, that leaves a lull between when the votes from election day are tallied, and when the absentee vote count is delivered.
Critics say that lull, and the after-midnight ballot drop, leads to questions about election integrity in Milwaukee.
“People feel like the election is heading in one direction, [then] all the ballots come in at one time in the middle of the night, and it appears that there’s some kind of nefarious nature to what’s going on,” Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said Tuesday.
Critics of the Monday Count plan also see room for something nefarious. They fear that if Milwaukee has an absentee ballot count ahead of election day, then someone can somehow manufacture an exact number of votes to win.
Tyler August said other communities in Wisconsin don’t have the same troubles as Milwaukee and said that’s part of the problem.
“When I go to vote in the city of Lake Geneva they are processing those absentee ballots, there are hundreds of them in Lake Geneva, as well as a smaller staff, less election workers than in the city of Milwaukee has, and they’re able to get those done and part of their report that they send into the county clerk by like 9 p.m.,” August said. “So, Milwaukee needs to take a look at what they’re doing when it comes to counting absentee ballots, and for their own sake to prove to the people that their processes are secure, and safe, and fair. And get those reports in well before the middle of the night.”

Then you could bring a few friends to Justin Bieber’s Miami Beach New Year’s Eve concert.
The Biebs, who’s finishing his current world tour in Europe, is set to perform a short show and celebrate the arrival of 2017 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, the resort announced Tuesday.
“Our poolside New Year’s Eve concerts have become the place to be in Miami Beach,” said resort spokeswoman Ana Lanzas. “We are very excited about having another great artist who’s at the top.”
Bieber, 22, is slated to sing for slightly more than 30 minutes right around midnight.
“It’s not his full-fledged concert,” Lanzas said. “It’s more like what he’d do at a festival.”
Of course, it’ll cost fans a pretty penny to have the singer of Sorry and Boyfriend serenade them during the momentous occasion.
General admission tickets start at $500, which includes open premium bar until midnight.
There’s also the $40,000 package, which includes 25 tickets close to the stage, a private bar stocked with three magnums of vodka and eight of champagne and party favors.
New Year’s Eve shows at the Fontainebleau have lured top acts in the past, including Lady Gaga, Drake, Adam Levine and The Weeknd.

text: FDA-approved prescribing information (also known as product labeling or labels) contain critical safety information for health care professionals. Drug labels have often been criticized, however, for being overly complex, difficult to read, and rife with overwarning, leading to high cognitive load. In this project, we aimed to improve the usability of drug labels by increasing the 'signal-to-noise ratio' and providing meaningful information to care providers based on patient-specific comorbidities and concomitant medications. In the current paper, we describe the design process and resulting web application, known as myDrugLabel. Using the Structured Product Label documents as a base, we describe the process of label personalization, readability improvements, and integration of diverse evidence sources, including the medical literature from PubMed, pharmacovigilance reports from FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS), and social media signals directly into the label.

Royal Bank of Scotland and Lombard are backing an Orkney-based marine renewable services provider that has moved into new premises and acquired a new vessel.
Specialists in renewable energy support services Green Marine, which owns and operates a range of vessels including crew transfer vessels for the offshore wind sector, has acquired a new vessel, to be named Green Storm, and moved into new premises. This will give it space to expand operations and grow its team by five members of staff as it increases operations across the UK and Europe.
The firm is well established in the energy sector and has built up a reputation in installing and maintaining tidal and wind energy facilities. The purchase of Green Storm will primarily service clients with offshore installations ensuring personnel and cargo are safely transported.
Established in 2012 by ex-fisherman Jason Schofield, the firm has grown to employ more than 20 staff in Scotland and currently works with more than 35 clients in the renewables sector.
Mr Schofield said “The funding provided has allowed us to significantly invest in our operations. Moving to new offices gives us continued access to an experienced talent pool, more space, and, most importantly, allows us to keep our headquarters on Orkney. The purchase of the vessel demonstrates our continued investment.
“Royal Bank of Scotland and Lombard have been instrumental in helping us realise our ambitions and provided us with continued support throughout our growth.”
The funding was supported by Royal Bank of Scotland relationship manager Margaret Keenan, who said, “Green Marine is at the centre of a growing industry in the Northern Isles and it’s positive to see its growth ambitions come to life with its new premises and vessel purchase.”

In video games, when the player is forced to encounter "elevator rides", "long tunnels" or the like where nothing actually happens in regards to the player's experience. The point of which is to give the computer enough time to catch up and load the data necessary for the next level or area without displaying a loading screen screen.
In [[Context Switching]], we think about the skew of the distribution of "loading time" vs. "playing time". If you just back and forth between levels in a game too often, you'll spend more time in the elevator than anything else, and is therefore something to avoid. This problem can be solved for an individual by [[Templating Time]].

The OHL and GOJHL have cancelled their seasons already, but the Intercounty Baseball League is still hoping to have some form of a season this summer.
The IBL was originally hoping to get the campaign going in June, but is now looking at July.
Commissioner John Kastner issued a statement on Thursday updating both stakeholders and fans with the league's return to play plans. "The league hoped to start in June but that does not seem likely. But, with over 100,000 vaccines going into arms every day in Ontario we are confident that Intercounty baseball will be played this summer and we will be able to help communities rebound from over a year of restrictions." Kastner said.
“Our league has crafted a number of contingencies and scenarios for the 2021 season,” Kastner added. “We currently have plans in place for July 1 and July 15 start dates and in each of those cases, we have modified season lengths and playoff scenarios.”
The league has also appointed Dr. Tim Rindlisbacher as chief medical officer.
The IBL did not have a season in 2020 due to the pandemic.


Proposed Tesla dealership at furniture store location
A proposed electric car dealership at 5711 S. Lindbergh Blvd. is one step closer to opening after the St. Louis County Planning Commission approved a zoning change from the C-3 shopping district to the planned C-8 shopping district at an executive meeting Jan. 24.
The commission initially heard the site proposal in December. At the time, the automaker was not named due to a confidentiality agreement, but the developers have since informed the county that it was a proposed Tesla dealership.
Proposed changes to the current lot include additional parking and handicap spaces and additional doors for cars to enter the building. Since the original proposal, the developers have added a buffer yard for trucks to turn into the lot.
During the public hearing in December, the neighbors of the land asked the commission adds stormwater requirements to stop flooding in an adjacent field. In response, the developers added additional permeable pavers to the site. Acting director of planning Jacob Trimble said developers are under no obligation to address flooding issues.
“By regulation, they’re not required to fix all past issues, just to make sure they don’t get worse,” Trimble said. “It is not my interpretation of the authority of the Planning Commission to require regulations at a higher threshold than the MSD.”
The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District will review the site to ensure that the developer’s precautions and plans will meet its standards. The commission will also re-examine the stormwater issue once final site plans have been submitted by the developers.

Hello, I have had my 300D for about a year the engine is rebuilt, the injectors are also new ( rebuilt).I still have a pinging knocking noise for about mile when I fist start the car. After it gets to operating temp. the pinging goes away. The car runs strong with moderate smoke.

Any input would be great.

For most people, Tuesdayâ€™s tropical storm only took away their power, but for those who do not get their running water from the city might have lost water as well.
In response, the Bristol Water and Sewer Department implemented its normal response to power outages by setting up a water filling station outside its water treatment plant at 1080 Terryville Ave.
â€śNo one that is on the public water system has lost water, but there are houses in the community that have private wells, so if they lose power they will not have water if they donâ€™t have a generator,â€ť water department superintendent Robert Luongo said. â€śWe donâ€™t want to see [anyone] have a sanitary health problem.â€ť
Patrons are required to bring containers and are expected to follow to all coronavirus guidelines. The station is not going to be manned as the department decided to avoid putting its employees at risk. Hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes will be available at the station, but cannot be replaced if they are taken or run out.
â€śWeâ€™re hoping the public will adhere to all CDC and the governorâ€™s guidelines,â€ť Luongo said. â€śWe are not manning it due to the safety of our own staff. Weâ€™re hoping that the public will take this good gesture and work with us.â€ť

Saab says it has reached agreement with a “large number” of its suppliers as the automaker attempts to restart production by 9 August.
The Swedish manufacturer’s Trollhattan plant remains shuttered after briefly beginning work a few weeks ago, with one of the key issues being payments to suppliers, although it is not clear how many component makers have agreed to Saab’s proposals.
“We have several hundred suppliers that deliver into production and we have come to an agreement with a large number of them,” a Saab spokeswoman told just-auto from Sweden.
“We are not getting specific about the numbers or the percentage or anything like that, but a large portion of our suppliers, we have come to an agreement with.
Insisting that “progress is being made all the time,” the Saab spokeswoman reiterated the aim was to start production again on 9 August.
“The 9 August is our ambition, what we are aiming for,” she said. “Whether we will succeed, that remains to be seen, but that is what we are working towards.”
The automaker also remains confident it will be able to pay its workforce for July, after briefly being late with payment for June. “We would certainly not [want] to fall into that situation where can’t pay our employees,” said the spokeswoman.
Scandinavian automotive supplier organisation FKG was not immediately available for comment.

After a Shugasmakx co-sign, he got to work on a collaboration with JR through the #StartSomething campaign. Born Bhungane Hadebe, the 20-year-old rapper has been making waves since dropping his mixtape Road to Conscious Trap in November last year. He lives up to his name on the project, delivering his signature fusion of trap beats and engaging lyrical content.
Apart from providing bars, Road to Conscious Trap reimagines classics and incorporates the work of South African greats, including the late Ray Phiri. “It’s a concept project and is how I like to make music, with samples” he says. His refreshing take on formulating songs shines through on Northern. “We switched it all the way up,” he says of the track that samples part of the South African national anthem. The result is an airy song which uses the looped vocals as the basis of the beat. The talent expressed on the mixtape is reflective of Raw Bar’s singular focus on his music.
He spends time on his craft, with a heavy focus on his live performances. “Performing with a live band is more organic,” he explains. “It’s the difference between how back in the day they recorded analog and there was a more authentic feel to it.” Rapping for Raw Bars was a calling, that he’s turned into his day job. “This is my 9 to 5. It’s the one thing that made sense to me and all I want to do.” With musical influences such as fellow East Rand rapper Priddy Ugly, he’s got all the tools for a long and healthy career in the game.
Having already shared the stage with the likes of Riky Rick and Big Star Johnson, his latest collaboration with JR is another feather in his cap. They linked up through the #StartSomething campaign, that pairs established artists with the best up-and-coming musical talent. After wrapping the video shoot for their collab, he describes working with the 4Four hitmaker as a dope process. “When he sees something he pushes for it.” Getting to interact with an icon like JR will definitely open doors in the industry, perhaps even leading to a record deal.
In response he seems prepared for any eventuality. “I know my worth and know what I want,” he says. “If signing helps me get what I want, and what I need… then so be it.” Whatever happens with regards to contracts, Raw Bars is a name worth keeping an eye on. His upcoming EP Patience is scheduled to drop in September. The title is a signal of him knowing that good things take time and Raw Bars is determined to put in the hard yards.
He sees this upcoming release as a great opportunity to widen his reach and help in his pursuit of becoming a household name. “When the masses are ready to embrace the sound, they will.” Raw Bars got next.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other members of her hyper-liberal “Squad” were among 17 Democrats arrested outside the Supreme Court on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 19, for protesting the recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
AOC and Katherine Clark, D-Mass., were among those arrested for blocking traffic. Clark serves as the assistant speaker, the No. 4 position in Democratic leadership.
“The extremist Republican Party is determined to take us back in time and take away our rights. I refuse to stand on the sidelines as their rampage continues,” Clark said in a statement following her arrest. “I am furious and heartbroken, and I will proudly fight for our right to abortion and all of our Constitutional rights. They can arrest me, but we won’t allow them to arrest freedom.”
Trying to make more of the arrest than it was, AOC was roundly mocked on social media after she put her arms behind her back, pretending to be handcuffed –which she was not – following her arrest at the pro-abortion demonstration.
The self-described socialist lawmaker was not cuffed, but rather was gently escorted away by a Capitol Police officer — along with fellow city Rep. Carolyn Maloney — after blocking traffic outside the court building.
AOC kept up the charade of being restrained for a few steps before raising her fist to supporters watching from the sidewalk. She then crossed her wrists behind her back again in the faux handcuffed position.
The “fake news” clip spread like wildfire, and conservative commentators were quick to chime in.
“AOC pretended to be in handcuffs when she was escorted away from the Supreme Court,” the official account for the conservative paper Washington Free Beacon tweeted.
“Oh my gosh, @AOC faking handcuffs,” wrote Republican commentator Matt Whitlock. “This is too much.”
“The Capitol Police must have put invisible handcuffs on @AOC!” tweeted political analyst Carmyn Kinsey.
“You guys… @AOC is such a victim that she has to pretend that the big, mean policeman put her in handcuffs…She probably also thinks he wants to date her,” said conservative columnist Tim Young.
“Note the handcuff pose, abandoned only to raise her fist in the air. The queen of gestures,” Fox News political analyst Brit Hume said.
According to Capitol Police, 35 people — including 17 members of Congress — were arrested.
The booked lawmakers included Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Jackie Speier of California, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Andy Levin of Michigan, Barabara Lee of California, Cori Bush of Missouri, Katherine Clark of Connecticut, Nydia Velazquez of New York, Jan Schakowsky of Illinois, Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania, and Sarah Jacobs of California.
Video of Omar also showed the “Squad” member walking several steps with her hands behind her back as if handcuffed. However, she, too raised her right arm in a clenched-fist salute without any difficulty.

For the 2023-24 marketing season, the Indian government raised the minimum support price (MSP) for cotton by around 9% year on year. Cotton prices, which have plunged by more than 25% in the previous eight months, are anticipated to stabilize after the government raised the commodity’s minimum support price (MSP) by roughly 9% year on year for the 2023-24 marketing season on Wednesday. Cotton producers were upset as a result of the price decline since they were hanging on to their output in anticipation of improved rates, resulting in a cotton scarcity in the market.
Cotton prices have decreased from a peak of Rs 10,000 per quintal in October to Rs 7,200/per quintal. According to industry analysts, if the price decline continues, growers may decide to wait until the following season to sell at the revised MSP of Rs 7,020/quintal.
“The increase in MSP of cotton will also help to cap the downward trend in cotton prices,” said BS Rajpal, a veteran cotton ginner from Maharashtra, which has the highest area under cotton in the country. “Instead of selling cotton at lower rates, farmers may opt to wait and sell cotton at the new MSP to the government in the next cotton season.”
The area planted under cotton is also likely to be aided by the increased MSP. “We were expecting a fall in cotton acreage before the government announced the MSP. However, now the area under cotton can increase by about 5%,” said Pradip Jain, president of, the Khandesh Ginning and Pressing Association.
With the increase in MSP, cotton processors are hopeful of getting enough raw material. “We couldn’t run our mills at full capacity as farmers did not bring enough cotton to the market this year,” said Avinash Kabra, a cotton processor from Dharangaon in north Maharashtra. “Any increase in cotton production due to an increase in MSP will increase the supply of raw material for the cotton-based industry.”
“Increase in MSP is not the solution to increase cotton production in India. We need to improve the productivity of cotton by bringing better technology and better seeds,” said Ravi Sam, chairman, of Southern India Mills’ Association.
The increased MSP is higher than the prevailing market prices. Pushan Sharma, director – of research, CRISIL Market Intelligence, and Analytics, said, “The MSP has increased by about 9% on the year, while the average mandi prices are 14-15% higher than the MSP. Thus, farmers may not be inclined to sell at MSP. This has been the case for the past two years and, consequently, cotton procurement at MSP has been negligent.”
Sharma added, “However, anticipating higher production in cotton for the marketing year 2023-24, if mandi prices witness a decline, this higher MSP will bode well for farmer income in Maharashtra, Telangana, and Gujarat, which are key cotton-producing states.”

This invention relates to a capacitor discharge pulse system and particularly a capacitor discharge ignition system supplying high voltage pulses for firing of an internal combustion engine and the like.
In the driving of pulsed loads, a capacitor discharge system may be employed to establish appropriate high voltage pulse energy to the load. The capacitor is charged to the desired voltage level from any suitable source and then discharged into the load. For example, internal combustion engines used in an outboard motor, other recreational or non-recreational vehicle and the like, may advantageously operate with capacitor discharge ignition systems. The capacitor is suitably charged from a battery-converter unit or alternatively from a small alternator-rectifier unit driven in synchronism with the engine. A particularly satisfactory capacitor discharge ignition system for a multiple cylinder internal combustion engine is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,805,759 which issued Apr. 23, 1974, to Arthur O. Fitzner. In that system, an alternator is provided to charge a main firing capacitor which is discharged to the spark plugs through individual discharge circuits, each including a controlled rectifier or other gated switch device. The main pulse charging alternator is preferably constructed with separate high speed and low speed charging windings for regulated charging of the capacitor over the normal speed range and establish optimum operation of the engine. A separate trigger pulse generator has distributed trigger windings which are connected to sequentially fire individual controlled rectifiers in the discharge circuits for each of the spark plugs and thereby provide proper time spaced discharge of the capacitor to the appropriate spark plug for firing of the engine.
Although such systems have been widely employed and have particularly provided a highly improved and practical, commercial ignition system in two-cycle internal combustion engines for marine drives and the like, optimum engine ignition has not always been obtained. Problems of misfiring have been encountered in the higher numbered multiple cylinder two-cycle engines such as those with four cylinders and above, particularly at higher speeds.
The present invention is particularly directed to a simple and reliable improvement in a capacitor pulse forming system to establish and maintain high energy output at relatively high speed range such as encountered in a two-cycle internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders. Generally, in accordance with the present invention, a plurality of energy storage capacitor means are interconnected to be sequentially and alternately charged from different portions of the output of a charging source such as an alternator means. More particularly, the conventional ignition alternator produces a generally sine wave output voltage. During one-half cycle of the alternator output, circuit means connect the output to charge one capacitor means and while the other or opposite half-cycle is connected to charge the second capacitor means.
In accordance with a practical feature of the present invention, suitable rectifying means interconnect the alternator source to a pair of capacitor means to charge each capacitor on a plurality of polarity related alternate half-cycles and hold such charge for subsequent firing.
In a unique embodiment of this present invention, each capacitor means is recharged for a plurality of cycles of the alternator output during which period the alternate capacitor means is finally discharged. Thus, as applied to a four cylinder, two-cycle outboard ignition system four pulses per engine revolution are required. With the present invention, a pair of capacitor means are recharged and discharged twice per engine revolution thereby doubling the time available for charging of each capacitor means and permitting charging to the desired level to maintain an essentially accurately regulated power supply for firing of the internal combustion engine.
In another aspect and feature of a unique embodiment, safety circuit means provide for relatively minute or slow discharging of the power capacitor means between cycles. The additional circuit means function to essentially fully discharge the capacitor means when the system is turned off and thus prevent maintaining of dangerously high voltages in the system at turn-off.
In a further novel feature and construction, the power capacitor discharging means employs trigger capacitor means for firing of main discharge control switch means. The trigger capacitor means is coupled to be charged from the main power source alternator through a low impedance network and additionally through an additional high impedance network coupled to the charging circuit of the power capacitor means. In a further aspect of the invention, the high impedance network functions as the safety circuit means for discharging of the power capacitor means.
More particularly, in a particularly practical and novel construction, an alternator includes a high speed coil and a low speed coil connected through a diode rectifier network to a pair of capacitors. The diode rectifier network steers the positive half-cycle power to the one capacitor and the negative half-cycle power to the second capacitor. A trigger power capacitor is connected to the output of the alternator through a voltage dividing resistor-diode network, which is a relatively low impedance, to charge the trigger capacitor from both half-cycles of the alternator to an appropriate firing voltage level. An auxiliary high resistance network is provided between the main firing capacitors and the trigger capacitor. At low speed, the time constant of the network provides significant charging current to the trigger capacitor. At high speed, the time constant of the network is so long as to effectively open the circuit and thereby maintain charging through the voltage dividing resistor-diode network. A single triggering capacitor can thus be employed to effect the sequential firing of the cylinders. The single trigger capacitor eliminates possible undesired crossfiring caused by RFI (radio frequency current) signals generated when a desired cylinder is fired. Thus, the RFI signal may be sensed by the trigger coils and develop a signal sufficient to turn-on the discharge circuit to another cylinder. With a single triggering capacitor, however, the triggering capacitor is essentially, completely discharged at the time the RFI signal occurs and thus eliminates any such firing.
The auxiliary or high resistance network also functions to bleed the main firing capacitors when the system is turned off. This minimizes the danger of creating a high voltage condition after turn-off of the system, with the corresponding danger of electrical shock. An isolating diode is also preferably connected between the low impedance level charging network and the high impedance auxiliary network to ensure holding of the charge on the trigger capacitor as the charging voltage drops to the lower level during each half-cycle. This further contributes to optimum charging of the main firing capacitors and the trigger capacitor. The charge may therefore be maintained under operation conditions and removed under off conditions.
The present invention has been found to provide a relatively simple and inexpensive ignition circuit for reliable triggering of multiple cylinder engines particularly of a two-cycle construction over a wide speed range. The invention is particularly adapted to modification of presently existing capacitor discharge ignition systems which have been found to be desirable for multiple cylinder high speed outboard motor drives.
The drawing furnished herewith illustrates a preferred construction of the present invention in which the above advantages and features are clearly disclosed, as well as others, which will be readily understood from the following description.
In the drawing:
FIG. 1 is a schematic circuit diagram for a capacitor discharge ignition system constructed in accordance with the present invention and applied to an alternator driven capacitor discharge ignition system for an outboard motor drive; and
FIG. 2 is a graphical illustration of the charging and discharging of the capacitor ignition system shown in FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawing, the illustrated embodiment of the present invention is a capacitor discharge ignition circuit 1 for a four cylinder, two-cycle internal combustion engine 2 forming a part of an outboard motor 3, the power head of which is partially shown. The ignition system 1 is separately schematically shown and the four spark plugs 4, 5, 6 and 7, one for each of the cylinders, is also separately shown as part of the circuit 1. In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, a main alternator 8 is coupled to and driven in synchronism with the engine 2. The alternator 8 constitutes the source of firing power for the internal combustion engine and is generally connected to alternately and repetitively charge a first and a second main firing capacitor 9 and 10. Each of the capacitors 9 and 10 is connected through individual discharge circuits to be several spark plugs 4-7 to form a distributorless and contactorless ignition system. Each of the discharge circuits is similarly constructed and in the illustrated embodiment circuits 11 and 12 for the two spark plugs 4 and 5 are shown in detail and will be briefly described hereinafter and circuits for the third and fourth spark plugs 6 and 7 are shown in an appropriately labeled block 13 for purposes of simplicity of illustration. Such circuits will be a duplicate of that illustrated for the first two spark plugs. Generally, the illustrated discharge circuit or system is similar to that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,715,650 which issued Feb. 6, 1973 to James R. Draxler and entitled "PULSE GENERATOR FOR IGNITION SYSTEMS," wherein a separate triggering generator 14 is provided and includes a pair of trigger coils 15 and 16 with the opposite ends of each of the trigger coils 15 and 16 connected to provide firing of one of the pair of discharge circuits 11-12 and 13 as follows.
The alternator 8 and the trigger generator 14 are shown generally mounted to the upper end of the engine. They may conveniently be constructed as shown in the previously identified U.S. patent or may be completely separate units.
More particularly, referring to discharge circuit 11, a main silicon controlled rectifier 17 is shown defining a gated switch means which is connected in series with the output of a pulse transformer 18 to the corresponding main firing capacitor 9. Discharge circuit 12 is similarly connected to capacitor 9 in parallel with circuit 11.
In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, a pulse forming network 19 is connected to selectively supply triggering pulses to the gate circuits of the main control rectifiers 17 and 17' in response to the output form the associated coil 15 of the trigger generator 14. Power to fire the main controlled rectifiers 17 and 17' is derived from a common triggering capacitor 20 which as more fully developed hereinafter is also connected to be charged from the main alternator 8.
The pulse forming network 19 includes a first pulse transformer 21 having a primary winding which is connected in series with a pilot or auxiliary gated signal switch as a silicon controlled rectifier 22 across the triggering capacitor 20 and a secondary winding which is connected across the gate to cathode elements of the rectifier 17. The gate of rectifier 22 is connected to the one side of the trigger coil and the cathode is connected to the opposite side of the coil via ground and a bias stabilizing resistance capacitor network 23 and a diode 24 such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,715,650.
The rectifier 22' is similarly connected to coil 15 via the common network 23 and a diode 24 to respond to an opposite polarity pulse from coil 15. The rectifier 22' has its gate connected to the opposite end coil to respond to the opposite polarity output of coil 15, and correspondingly fire rectifier 17'. Various stabilizing capacitors, diodes, resistors and the like are employed in the described trigger forming and discharge circuit in accordance with the above prior art as well as in accordance with usual standard design practice. As detail of the trigger generator 14 and the circuitry associated therewith does not form any significant part of the teaching of the present invention, and can be readily provided by usual design, no further description thereof is given.
As previously noted, the present invention is particularly directed to the multiple firing capacitors 9 and 10 and the interconnection thereof to a limited power supply such as an engine driven alternator 8 to provide a reliable power supply for firing of the engine in proper timing, and in the preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated, to the further novel combination with the common triggering capacitor 20 for the firing of the main discharge switch means.
In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, alternator 8 is shown as a dual winding unit having a low speed charging coil 25 and a high speed charging coil 26 which, in combination, provides a relatively flat output with speed. The alternator 8 preferably includes a multiple pole rotor 26a such that the output is an alternating current producing a plurality of charging cycles between each firing of the engine as more fully described in the description of the operation of one particular construction. The coils are shown connected in parallel to a full wave rectifying network 27 to charge the capacitors 9 and 10 as follows.
The windings or coils 25 and 26 are shown with a positive polarity dot adjacent to the upper end thereof which for purposes of discussion will be defined as the positive half-cycle output of the alternator. During the opposite half-cycle of the alternator output, the opposite ends of the winding would be relatively positive which will be defined as the negative half-cycle. For purposes of discussion, the polarity of the windings will be assumed to be continuously in phase although in practice some phase shift may arise. Such, however, has not interfered with the functioning of the present invention.
During the positive half-cycle, capacitor 9 is charged as follows. The low speed winding 25 has the assumed positive end connected via a first dioe 28 to the top or positive side of the capacitor 9, the opposite side of which is connected to ground and returned to winding 25 through series diode 29 and 30. More particularly, the return diode 29 has its anode connected to ground and its cathode connected to the anode of a diode 30, the cathode of which is connected by a lead 31 directly to the lower side of the low speed charging winding 25 to complete the charging path for such coil. The high speed charging coil 26 has the assumed positive end connected in series with a diode 32 to the connection of the low speed charging coil 25 and the anode of diode 28 and thus it provides a charging path through the diode 32 and the diode 28 to the top side of the capacitor 9 with a ground return through the diode 29, the cathode of which is connected not only to the anode of 30 but directly to the opposite or assumed negative end of the high speed charging coil 26. Thus with the illustrated polarity, the low speed charging coil 25 and the high speed charging coil 26 provide currents in parallel to simultaneously charge the capacitor 9. The high-low speed charging characteristic will, in accordance with known theory, ensure essentially a generally flat capacitor voltage versus engine speed characteristic.
During the negative half-cycle, the polarity of the charging coils will reverse; with the illustrated lower or opposite ends thereof assuming a relative positive polarity with respect to the upper ends. With this polarity, the common diode 28 is back biased and the capacitor 9 is essentially isolated from the charging windings 25 and 26.
The opposite half of network 27 provides an alternate diode system which connects the windings 25 and 26 to charge capacitor 10 as follows.
Beginning again with the low speed charging winding 25, the lower end thereof is connected via connecting line 31, to the anode of a second common diode 33, the opposite side of which is connected to the top side of capacitor 10. The opposite side of the capacitor 10 is grounded and returned to the top side of the coil 25 through a forward biased return diode 34 in series with the second forward biased return diode 32 to the top side of the coil 25.
The high speed charging coil 26 similarly has its lower end, which is now at a relative positive potential, connected in series with the diode 30 and the common diode 33, to the top side of the capacitor 10. The ground return path is directly through the common return diode 34, the cathode of which is connected directly to the top side of the charging coil 26.
This circuit thus effectively defines a full wave rectification of the output of the two windings in parallel and with the postive half-cycle pulses directed or steered to charge the capacitor 9 and the relatively negative half-cycle directed or steered to charge the capacitor 10.
The top side of the capacitor 9 is connected to a common output line 35 connected to the anodes 17 and 17' of the two trigger steering circuit for spark plugs 4 and 5.
The top side of capacitor 10 is similarly connected to a common output line 36 to fire the alternate spark plugs 6 and 7 through the alternate trigger and steering circuit 13.
In operation, the trigger generator 14 and pulse forming networks 19 provide appropriately spaced firing or triggering signals to turn on the controlled rectifiers 17 and 17' to alternately discharge capacitors 9 and 10 and further to alternately discharge capacitor 9 to fire the spark plugs 4 and 5 and to alternately discharge capacitor 10 to fire spark plugs 6 and 7. The capacitors 9 and 10 are thus alternately charged and discharged to fire the spark plugs in a proper firing order which, as described, is spark plugs 4, 6, 5 and 7.
In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the individual output lines 35 and 36 are shown similarly coupled through individual series connected resistors 37 and 38 forming a part of an auxiliary charging circuit for charging of the common triggering capacitor 20 in addition to a main charging network 39 connected to the main alternator 8. The resistors 37 and 38, as presently described, have a relatively high resistance value which serves to operatively isolate the two main capacitor discharge circuits for firing of the discharge circuits 11-12.
More particularly, the capacitor 20 is directly coupled to the low speed and high speed charging windings 25 and 26 through a low impedance network 39 for charging during both positive and negative half-cycles of the alternator 8. In particular, a diode 40 connects the input side of the diode 28 and thus the common charging line for capacitor 9 to the input of the low impedance network 39. A diode 41 similarly connects the common charging line for capacitor 10 to the low impedance network 39 at a common node 42. Thus during either half-cycle, the appropriate diode 40 or 41 will be biased to divert a portion of the current into the low impedance coupling network 39.
The low impedance network 39 includes a pair of resistors 43 and 44 connected in series between the common input node 42 and ground. Resistors 43 and 44 may be respectively of the order of 560K of 180K ohms. The common junction or node of the voltage dividing resistors is connected by a blocking diode 45 to the top side of the capacitor 20, the opposite side of which is connected to ground, and through the previously described diodes back to the windings 25 and 26.
The diode 45 not only blocks the discharge of the capacitor 20 through the low impedance network 39 but also holds the charge on the capacitor when the charging voltage drops during the low level portion of the charging cycle below the capacitor voltage. The diode 45 further serves to isolate the high impedance network of resistor 37 and 38 from the low impedance network 39.
The resistors 43 and 44 thus form a voltage divider to establish a predetermined voltage on capacitor 20 which stores sufficient energy to reliably and consistently fire the main output controlled rectifiers 17 and 17' of the steering circuits 11 and 12 and 13 to which it is connected as follows.
The top side of the capacitor 20 is connected directly by a coupling lead 46 to the common primary winding connection of the two triggering pulse transformer 21 and 21' of the steering circuits 11 and 12, and by a lead 47 to similar circuit in the unit 13.
When triggered coil 15 activates one of the pilot rectifiers 22 or 22' a corresponding discharge path for capacitor 20 is created through the primary winding of the pulse transformer 21 or 21'. A pulse is thereby applied to the gate of the corresponding rectifier 17 or 17' causing it to conduct and thereby rapidly discharge the capacitor 9 to appropriately fire the engine. When trigger coil 16 activates the alternate trigger and steering circuit, capacitor 10 is discharged to fire one of the spark plugs 6 or 7.
Applicant has found that at low speeds, the normal low impedance network 39 for capacitor charging may not reliably charge capacitor 20 to the desired level. The large resistors 37 and 38 couple the main charging capacitors 9 and 10 to the trigger capacitor 20 to provide the following auxiliary charging path which is effective particularly at low speeds. The resistor 37 directly connects the output line 35 from capacitor 9 to the input or top side of the capacitor 20. The resistor 38 similarly connects the output line 36 from capacitor 10 to the top side of the capacitor 20 during each half-cycle. A large resistor 48 which may be of the order of 10M ohms is connected across capacitor 20 and with resistors 37 and 38 defines a voltage divider. The large resistance of resistor 48 minimizes discharge current under normal operation and maintains the required voltage level on the capacitor 20 at low speeds. The resistors 37 and 38 will be on the order of 22 million ohms and inherently create a very long time constant. At low speeds the period of each half-cycle is such that significant additional charging of capacitor 20 occurs and contributes to reliable firing of the main rectifiers 17 and 17'. At high speeds, however, the additional charging paths have essentially no effect as a result of the high associated time constant.
The voltage dividing network of resistors 37 and 38 with the resistor 48 further defines a pair of discharge paths for relatively slowly discharging of the main firing capacitors 9 and 10 as well as the trigger capacitor 20. Now, when the engine is turned off, any one of the capacitors 9 and 10 and 20 might be fully or partially charged, with the main capacitors 9 and 10 particularly at a relatively high voltage. To maintain such capacitor charge condition could well present a very undesirable and dangerous high voltage condition. In the illustrated embodiment of this invention, the capacitors discharge slowly through the high resistance voltage dividin network to ground to essentially eliminate such conditions. Thus, although the resistors 37, 38 and 48 provide a long time constant relative to the normal period of the charging and discharging and with respect to the frequency of the alternator under normal engine operation, resistors, 37, 38 and 48 present a relatively short time constant with respect to the period of time after cutoff of the engine.
The operation of the illustrated embodiment of the invention as applied to the four cylinder, two-cycle engine is summarized, as follows, with reference to FIG. 2 which illustrates typical capacitor charging and discharging conditions for one revolution. For example, a four cylinder, two-cycle engine requires sequential firing of the four cylinders at ninety degree intervals. The alternator 8 may be constructed with three poles to generate six cycles per engine revolutions, as shown at 50 in FIG. 2. Although shows as a sine wave output for purposes of explanation, the output may, of course, not be a true sine wave. The output is an alternating output and is conveniently and accurately analyzed with the illustrated wave shape. Each positive half-cycle charges capacitor 9 until discharged and each negative half-cycle charges capacitor 10 until discharged, with the resulting capacitor voltage traces, as shown in FIG. 2, by trace 51 for capacitor 9 and by trace 52 for capacitor 10.
More particularly, in the illustration at zero degrees, the alternator 8 is beginning a positive half-cycle of its output, and the capacitor 9 is shown completely discharged. The storage capacitor 9 is charged during the positive charging half-cycle to peak level 53 and is held at that level during the balance of the half-cycle and the immediately following negative half-cycle. At the next positive half-cycle, the capacitor 9 is again charged to a further level 54. During the third positive half-cycle, the capacitor 9 is further charged. During this half-cycle, and particularly during the peak portion, the trigger coil 15 associated with the trigger and steering circuit 11 generates a pulse to the gate of rectifier 22 which turns on to rapidly discharge the charge on capacitor 9, as shown at 56, and fire the appropriate spark plug 5. Thus, the turn-on of rectifier 22 completes the circuit for capacitor 20 which discharges through the steering circuit via lead 46, and, as a result thereof, turns on rectifier 17 and thereby discharges the capacitor 9. The discharge of the capacitor 9 is shown occurring at the peak of the charging half-cycle. The capacitor 9 rapidly and exxentially instantaneously discharges through the appropriate pulse transformer 18.
The trigger rectifier 22 of circuit 11 rapidly resets as a result of the termination of the pulse from coil 16 and discharge of capacitor 20 and, in effect, eliminates turn-on to the just completed discharge circuit 11 for the capacitor 20 from the circuit. Thus, when capacitor 20 has discharged, rectifier 17 turns off and the firing cycle for spark plug 5 has been completed.
Capacitor 9 remains fully discharged for the trailing portion of the positive half-cycle and the following negative half-cycle and is again charged on the fourth, fifth and sixth positive half-cycles, being discharged during the sixth half-cycle as at 57. At the latter firing, however, the polarity output of coil 15 has reversed and rectifier 22' conducts to complete the discharge circuit to spark plug 5.
The spark plugs 4 and 5 are thereby fired at 180° intervals of each complete engine revolution.
During this period, capacitor 10 is similarly charged and discharged, as shown by traces 52. However, the firing pulses generated by the alternate trigger coil 16 are offset to firs spark plugs 6 and 7 90° after firing of spark plugs 4 and 5, respectively.
Capacitor 20 is again charged upon turn-off of rectifier 22 through the low impedance network 39, and depending upon the speed, more or less through the high impedance network resistors 37 and 38. Following firing of capacitor 9 to spark plug 4 and prior to the initiation of the next firing period at which fully charged capacitor 10 is to be discharged to spark plug 6, capacitor 20 is fully charged. The trigger coil 16 creates the proper polarity pulse and actuates pilot control rectifiers 22 in circuit 13 to initiate a similar firing cycle to spark plug 6, with capacitor 20 activating a main controlled rectifier 17 of circuit 13, which, in turn, operates to discharge the main firing capacitor 10, through the appropriate discharge circuit for firing of the appropriate spark plug 6. Again, the cycle will be such that the capacitor 20 will fully discharge and the discharge circuit reset as a result of the turn off of the fired rectifier 22. During this latter period, the capacitor 9 is, of course, charging, as shown in FIG. 2 and previously described.
The system will continue to cycle to create proper time spaced firing order for engine operation, with the repetitive sequence of firing being spark plugs 4, 6, 5 and 7.
At each firing of a spark plug 4-7, an RFI (radio frequency current) signal is created. This RFI signal may generate a trigger signal within the trigger generator coils 15 and 16 of a sufficiently level to fire or turn-on a rectifier 22 or 22' of another cylinder. However, at the time the RFI signal is generated, capacitor 20 has just been discharged and, consequently, there is no power supply for creating a turn-on pulse in the circuit of the rectifiers 22 and/or 22'. Consequently, the RFI signal cannot activate the firing circuit to another spark plug.
A kill switch 58 is shown connected to the input line to the low impedance network 39 and, in particular, to the junction of the common connected cathodes of diodes 40 and 41. The kill switch 58 provides for manual connection of such junction point to ground which positively grounds the output of both of the charging coils 25 and 26 through the single switch 58. With the illustrated polarity, the top side of the low charging coil 25 connects to ground through the diode 40 while the high speed coil 26 connects to ground through the diodes 32 and 40. In the presence of the opposite polarity, the low speed charging coil 25 connects to ground through the diode 41 while the high speed coil 26 connects to ground through the diode 30 and 41. Stopping of the engine is thus established from the single "kill" switch.
Applicant has found that the multiple storage capacitors charged during different portions of the alternator output cycle and the common trigger capacitor means significantly contributes to the reliable ignition by insuring sufficient time for each of the capacitor means to fully recharge and by insuring proper firing sequence for the engine. The present invention permits the use of a relatively simple and reliable circuit for firing of multiple cylinder ignition internal combustion engines and the like.
