Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve includes an actuator mountable to a valve assembly such that a single actuator design can be utilized for different valve assemblies. The actuator is linked to the valve assembly through a calibration plug that provides for the calibration of an actuator armature position to a desired valve element position. The interface between the armature and valve element with the calibration plug provide adjustment and calibration to tailor operation of the actuator to a desired operation of the valve assembly.

Abstract: A device that enables speedier wall-stud assembly and accuracy by providing a multi center jig. Three common stud centers include 16?, 19.2? and 24?. The jig of the present invention comprises; two stud holding end members, a central extension portion having an inner and an outer tube, telescopically engaged to one another wherein each tube member is fixedly attached to a side portion of a stud holding end member. The stud holding end member also incorporates a plate tab, which ensures plate to stud alignment. A wall start setting is also provided for each of the above-mentioned stud centers. A button latch locks the two halves at the desired setting.
