  • Patent number: 8678050
    Abstract: An overflow protection system for an oil tank trailer which automatically monitors and controls the level of oil within said trailer. The system comprises a float sensor, a cable assembly, a shutoff valve, a temperature sensor, and a control box. The float sensor comprises an inductive float sensor which monitors the level on the tank gauge of an existing trailer body, which provides electrical signals via the cable assembly. The cable assembly provides electronic connection between the float sensor, valve, temperature sensor, and control box. The shutoff valve is closed when the float sensor is triggered, preventing flow into and out of the tank in order to eliminate overflow spillage. The control box includes a plurality of manual user controls for operating the system as well as information displays including interior temperature and the like.

  • Publication number: 20120209200
    Abstract: A drive assembly (2) for a pen-type injector, comprising: a guiding means (40) having a first (42) and a second end (41), a drive means (20), an elongate member (30) coupled to the guiding means (40) and adapted to be driven by the drive means (20) for displacing the guiding means (40) with respect to the drive means (20), a piston member (60) displaceably disposed at the first end (42) of the guiding means (40) and an adjusting member (62) displaceably disposed at the second end (41) of the guiding means (40), wherein the drive means (20) is fixedly located with respect to the adjusting member (62), and wherein the piston member (60) and the adjusting member (62) are coupled such that the sum of the distance between the piston member (60) and the guiding means (40) and the distance between the adjusting means (62) and the guiding means (40) remains constant, and a pen-type injector with such a drive assembly.
