Abstract: Described are systems and methods to provide agnostic sensor data obtained from a sensor and transmitted to a central database by a transmitter device. In one aspect, a value sensed by a sensor component is converted at the transmitter device to an agnostic value defined by a dimensionless universal scale and offset. The agnostic value is then sent to a data acquisition database where it is converted back to the original value. This is accomplished by first providing the data acquisition database with a sensor definition of a scale and offset used to convert the sensor values in addition to any sensor indicia and other parameters to display the data acquired at the data acquisition database. The wireless sensors database and user interface are also automatically updated when a new sensor type is attached to the network utilizing configuration data that resides in the new sensor that is sent to the database on its first connection.

The ECU is also configured to provide a notification to a user of the vehicle regarding the presence of the object, occupant, or pet within the vehicle.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to multi-stage falling particle receivers and methods of falling particle heating. As the particles fall through the receiver, the particles are periodically collected and released by flow retarding devices. The periodic catch-and-release of the particles falling through the receiver reduces particle flow dispersion, increases particle opacity and solar absorption, and reduces erosion and damage to surfaces caused by direct particle impingement.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon absorbing air filter box is provided for absorbing evaporative hydrocarbon emissions from an air intake duct of an internal combustion engine. A combined mass airflow sensor and hydrocarbon trap comprising the hydrocarbon absorbing air filter box includes a duct supporting a hydrocarbon absorbing sheet within an interior of a housing. The duct communicates an airstream from an air filter to the air intake duct during operation of the internal combustion engine. An opening in the housing receives a mass airflow sensor into the duct, such that the mass airflow sensor is disposed within the airstream. Guide vanes extending across the duct reduce air turbulence within the airstream passing by the mass airflow sensor. Ports disposed along the duct allow the evaporative hydrocarbon emissions to be drawn into the interior and arrested by the hydrocarbon absorbing sheet when the internal combustion engine is not operating.

Abstract: Included are methods and devices of adapting a solar module support with pre-formed features that position and/or secure solar module clips. The adaptation may include forming new positioning and/securing features at new locations on the solar module support, or otherwise positioning the solar module clips on the solar module support at locations different from these pre-formed features. These methods and devices allow a solar module support with pre-formed features to accommodate solar modules of different dimensions than originally envisioned.

Abstract: A carrier for supporting a metallurgical vessel during a cleaning process of the vessel includes a base, a pallet, and a cradle. The base has a longitudinal axis along a length of the base. The pallet is coupled to the base between (i) a first position where a longitudinal axis of the pallet is at a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the base, and (ii) a second position where the longitudinal axis of the pallet is at a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the base, the second angle greater than the first angle. The cradle is disposed at the pallet and supports the vessel when positioned at the carrier for the cleaning process. Pivoting the pallet between the first position and the second position adjusts an angle of the longitudinal axis of the vessel relative to the longitudinal axis of the base.

Abstract: A device for coating a metal strip with a liquid coating material comprises a coating container filled with, for example, liquid zinc. After the metal strip exits the coating container, liquid coating material adheres to the metal strip. Excess coating material is blown away from the surface of the metal strip by a blowing device. Thereafter, the metal strip runs through an electromagnetic stabilization device which is supported on the blowing device. Disturbing influences may cause the metal strip to no longer run centrally through a slot of the blowing device. A displacement or re-alignment of the blowing device is then required to guide the metal strip back to the set middle position. A first displacing device displaces the electromagnetic stabilization device relative to the blowing device in the plane transverse to the direction of transport of the metal strip to avoid an undesirable displacement of the electromagnetic stabilization device.

Abstract: A method and system for unlocking a calibratable electronic torque tool and a torque testing device and the calibratable electronic torque tool. To unlock the calibratable electronic torque tool, a tool head of the calibratable electronic torque tool is coupled to the torque testing device and a direct data link is established. The calibratable electronic torque tool and the torque testing device separately determine torque test values, which are transferred to a data processing device of the torque testing device and compared with each. If the difference between the torque test values is within a specified or specifiable tolerance range, an unlocking signal is transferred to the calibratable electronic torque tool via the data link and the calibratable electronic torque tool is unlocked by overriding a lock via the transferred unlocking signal.
