  • Patent number: 7443056
    Abstract: A junction box receives a plurality of input signals. The input signals are combined in accordance with AND logic to provide an output signal when all input signals are present. Multiple junction boxes may be connected to one another to increase the number of input signals that are accepted.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 29, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 28, 2008

  • Patent number: 6812593
    Abstract: A junction box receives a plurality of input signals. The input signals are combined in accordance with AND logic to close a plurality of output switches when all input signals are present. Both the inputs and outputs of the junction box are totally compatible with PNP, NPN or contact types of devices.

  • Patent number: 4254659
    Abstract: An angular rate of change sensing device of the type wherein angular rate of change, movement, or velocity is indicated by sensing a differential fluid velocity relative to a sensing apparatus in an underdeveloped laminar fluid flow field and is characterized primarily in that under conditions of no angular movement, there exists a constant or flat fluid velocity and density profile in a plane normal to the longitudinal axis of the flow channel. The device consists of a fluid flow inlet conditioner, a contoured inlet nozzle, a straight or slightly diffusing flow channel, a flow sensing apparatus inside the channel, and a device for pumping fluid through the flow conditioner and channel. Under conditions of angular rotation the velocity profile of a constant velocity, laminar fluid flow field relative to a sensing apparatus, is distorted due to fluid dynamic inertial effects and due to the effects of a relative velocity differential between sensing elements.

  • Patent number: 4232553
    Abstract: An angular acceleration sensing device which operates on a principle whereby the relative motion of a volume of gas or fluid contained within an annular ring or torroid is sensed when the container is subjected to an angular acceleration about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the fluid ring. The apparatus includes an enclosed circular fluid-filled channel which can be an annular ring or torroid; thermally sensitive elements suspended within the fluid channel and an electronic circuit providing power to the sensing elements and output voltages.
