  • Patent number: 11255318
    Abstract: A control unit for a solenoid pump, the solenoid pump including: an inlet port, an outlet port, and a first through-bore connecting the inlet and outlet ports; a plunger disposed within the first through-bore and including a second through-bore; a spring arranged to urge the plunger toward the outlet port; a solenoid coil disposed about a portion of the plunger and arranged to displace the plunger toward the inlet port in response to direct current coil power applied to the solenoid coil, the control unit including a microcontroller operatively arranged to control the solenoid coil, a first transistor operatively arranged to receive an external signal and communicate the signal to the microcontroller to control the solenoid coil, and a second transistor, arranged between the microcontroller and the solenoid coil, the second transistor operatively arranged to energize and de-energize the solenoid coil in response to the microcontroller.

  • Patent number: 9821253
    Abstract: A fuel filter, including: a housing, an inlet port, and an outlet port. The housing includes: a first axially disposed side wall forming a radially outermost portion of a circumference for the housing; a second axially disposed side wall located radially inward of the first axially disposed wall; a first radially disposed end wall connected to a first axial edge of the first axially disposed wall; and a second radially disposed end wall connected to a first axial edge of the second axially disposed side wall. The outlet port extends from the second radially disposed end wall and is radially aligned with the second axially disposed side wall. The inlet port extends from the first radially disposed end wall.

  • Patent number: 9500190
    Abstract: A solenoid pump, including: an inlet port, an outlet port, and a first through-bore connecting the inlet and outlet ports; a plunger disposed within the first through-bore and including a second through-bore; a spring arranged to urge the plunger toward the outlet port; a solenoid coil disposed about a portion of the plunger and arranged to displace the plunger toward the inlet port in response to coil power applied to the solenoid coil; and a control unit for: accepting an input voltage; generating the coil power during an interval equal to a first time period; supplying the coil power to the solenoid coil; and selecting a duration of the first time period such that the duration of the first time period varies according to the input voltage.

  • Patent number: 7106593
    Abstract: The present invention includes a heat sink assembly within a potted housing and a method for transferring heat within a potted housing. The heat sink assembly includes a bracket, a heat-containing element, and a self-tapping screw operatively arranged to engage the bracket and the heat-containing element. The screw presses the heat-containing element against the bracket. In some cases, the bracket is brass. In some cases, the housing is for a fuel pump and the heat-containing element includes a printed circuit board with an oscillating circuit and a heat sink.
