  • Patent number: 11915866
    Abstract: An enhanced safety coil that prevents crack formation and propagation to the coil windings from external sources and prevents exposure to fuel is provided. The enhanced safety coil may be used in a solenoid operated gas admission valve (SOGAV), and includes a plastic encapsulation body having at least one body de-stress feature, a coil wound on the plastic encapsulation body, a sleeve forming an outermost side protective wall configured to accommodate the plastic encapsulation body and coil therewithin, and potting provided between the plastic encapsulation body and the sleeve to seal the coil therein. The body de-stress feature is configured to reduce at least one of a formation or a propagation of a crack through the potting to the coil. The plastic encapsulation body forms retention latches configured to mate with a stator.

  • Patent number: 10861264
    Abstract: A load control system includes a power supply, a load controller coupled to a load, and a supply controller. The load controller receives a first power having a first current level from the power supply, and uses the first power to cause a plurality of resistors to output a plurality of pre-defined codes. The supply controller receives the plurality of pre-defined codes, evaluates an output condition based on the plurality of pre-defined codes, and causes the power supply to output a second power having a second current level greater than the first level responsive to the plurality of pre-defined codes satisfying the output condition.
