Abstract: Methods and systems for measuring pressure through a jointless pressure sensor port are disclosed, including permitting a substance to pass into a jointless pressure sensor port comprising an aperture, a channel, and a diaphragm having a larger area than the area of the aperture, allowing the substance to come into contact with the diaphragm resulting in a mechanical stress on the diaphragm, and measuring the mechanical stress to generate a signal indicative of the substance pressure.

Abstract: A method of assembling a high pressure sensor with knurl press-fit includes a first step of providing a pressure port having a material with a first hardness and a housing having a material with a second hardness less than the first hardness. The pressure port has a mounting boss and the housing has a receptacle for receiving the mounting boss. A next step includes configuring the mounting boss of the pressure port with knurls thereon. A next step includes pressing the mounting boss of the pressure port into the receptacle of the housing along a direction of the axis such that the knurls deform the receptacle of the housing to conform about the knurls to define a semi-rigid mount.

Abstract: A high pressure sensor mounting configuration (100) includes a cylindrical pressure sensor cavity (105), an internally threaded collet (170), and a housing (160). The cylindrical pressure sensor cavity includes a convex conical open end and a first bearing surface (115). The internally threaded collet includes a second bearing surface (175) that bears on the first bearing surface when the internally threaded collet is threaded onto a pressure port (140), causing the convex conical open end (110) to bear on a concave conical mating surface of the pressure port. The housing captures the collet on the pressure sensor cavity.

Abstract: A switch assembly (20) comprising of a base portion (22), a flexible pad (24), a paddle (26), and at least one button (28). The flexible pad (24) has a first dome (44) and a second dome (46). The paddle (26) is slidably attached to the base portion (22) and has a first end portion (64) and a second end portion (66). The first end portion (64) of the paddle (26) is positioned adjacent to the first dome (44) of the flexible pad (24). The second end portion (66) of the paddle (26) is positioned adjacent to the second dome (46) of the flexible pad (24). The button (28) is slidably attached to the base portion (22) and is capable of contacting the paddle (26). The first dome (44) of the flexible pad (24) is capable of collapsing when a user applies a first force (FA) to the button (28). The second dome (46) of the flexible pad (24) is capable of collapsing when the user applies a second force (FB) to the button (28), the second force (FB) being greater in value than the first force (FA).

Abstract: The present invention is a device for carrying pet supplies comprising a first compartment for containing pet supplies having a first side, a second side, a top, a bottom, a front and a back; said front of said first compartment having an opening therein through which tissues and other items such as plastic sacks or the like may be removed one at a time. The first compartment has a flap affixed to said first compartment covering and protecting said opening. There is a second compartment adjacent to said first compartment having a first side, a second side, a top, a bottom, a front and a back. The tops of each compartment have means for opening and closing said compartments. The invention further comprises means for affixing items to the side of said first compartment and a third-compartment affixed to the side of said second compartment. There is also a pocket affixed to the back of said second compartment.
