  • Patent number: 9400204
    Abstract: An electronic fuel sensor which utilizes the characteristics of fluid (such as gasoline) to dissipate heat more readily than a gas. Specifically the fuel sensor utilizes a linear array of sensors comprising a couple heat detector and heat source which can determine which of the sensors are in fluid and which are in air.

  • Patent number: 9266471
    Abstract: Systems and methods which provide for an alarm or notification that a child is in a car seat. The systems generally determine if a child is in the seat and that the seat, and therefore the vehicle, is not in motion. Upon detecting both situations, the notification or alarm is activated.

  • Patent number: 5596970
    Abstract: A single fuel pump for a fuel delivery system supplies fuel from the fuel tank to a reservoir and also supplies fuel from the reservoir to the engine. The fuel pump has a single impeller having outer vanes and inner vanes radially inward from the outer vanes. The vanes are aligned with outer and inner channels in the pump housing, respectively, so that fuel may be pumped from the fuel tank into the reservoir. Fuel from the reservoir is then pumped to the engine.

  • Patent number: 4974570
    Abstract: A vehicle fuel pumping unit wherein a reserve fuel supply container is located within the fuel tank to supply liquid fuel to a motor-operated pump when the tank is nearly empty. The invention addresses the problem of pump starvation when the tank is nearly empty and the liquid fuel is held away from the pump intake passage due to abrupt sustained turning or other maneuvers of the vehicle. In preferred practice of the invention normal fuel flow from the tank to the pump is controlled by an annular float valve located directly below the reserve fuel supply container; fuel flow from the reserve container is controlled by a pressure-responsive valve located in the section path between the container and the pump intake, said pressure-responsive valve being part of a sub-assembly including a liquid fuel filter screen for filtering all fuel from the container and a valve seat for the pressure-responsive valve.
