  • Patent number: 10126196
    Abstract: A multi-condition sensor, comprising a housing defining a component cavity, a pressure input tube disposed through the housing, a fault actuator disposed within the component cavity of the housing and in pressure communication with the pressure input tube through the housing, wherein the fault actuator is configured to extend and contract as a function of pressure from the pressure input tube, an alarm actuator disposed within the component cavity of the housing opposite the fault actuator and configured to be actuated by the fault actuator and to extend to a maximum fault position, and an adjustable alarm contact disposed on an opposite side of the alarm actuator within the component cavity and configured to be adjusted to a predetermined extension length from the housing to provide a predetermined alarm contact position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5159200
    Abstract: A detector for detecting hot spots that includes an infrared sensor and a scanning component. The infrared sensor is fixedly mounted on a housing and is oriented to have a field of view of at least part of the region of interest. The scanning component is mounted in front of the infrared sensor and blocks most of the field of view of the infrared sensor and has a moving aperture that exposes the infrared sensor to a small area of the region at one time. The moving aperture provides a small instantaneous field of view and over time exposes the sensor to a much larger area.
