An actuator cap for a container of product includes a main peripheral wall and a central discharge member axially movable relative to the main peripheral wall. The central discharge member is oriented to discharge product substantially axially. A pillar has a peripheral surface, and the pillar is deflectable relative to the main peripheral wall in a direction toward the central discharge member. Movement of the pillar is communicated to the central discharge member to displace the central discharge member when the pillar is deflected.

Apparatus for placing contents of a first container in fluid communication with a delivery apparatus includes an actuating element carried by the delivery apparatus and a valve element carried by the first container. At least one of the actuating element and the valve element defines a flow path from the first container to the delivery apparatus when the actuating element and the valve element are engaged with one another. The actuating element is engageable with a circular cylindrical valve of a second container to prevent flow of contents of the second container into the delivery apparatus.

A telephone accessory device includes a first circuit that detects an off-hook condition of a telephone and a second circuit responsive to the first circuit wherein the second circuit simulates an on-hook condition when the off-hook condition is detected.

An electrically compensated constant speed drive includes a mechanical differential having first and second input shafts and an output shaft wherein a prime mover is coupled to the first input shaft, a brushless generator is coupled to the differential output shaft and includes a control permanent magnet generator (PMG) and a main generator which develops output power and a speed compensation link is coupled between the control PMG and the second differential shaft. The speed compensation link includes a dynamoelectric machine coupled to the second differential input shaft and a power converter which interconnects armature windings of the control PMG and electrical power windings of the dynamoelectric machine. A generator control unit controls the flow of power between the control PMG and the dynamoelectric machine so that the dynamoelectric machine develops compensating speed of a magnitude sufficient to maintain the output shaft of the differential at a desired speed so that the brushless generator develops constant frequency AC power. The present constant speed drive is lighter and smaller than prior electrically compensated constant speed drives.
