  • Patent number: 10996126
    Abstract: A pressure transducer assembly comprises a pressure transducer, a cable, an expandable member, and a vented connector. The cable includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a vent tube. The proximal end is operatively connected to the pressure transducer. The expandable member is operatively connected to the vent tube proximate the distal end. The vented connector is operatively connected to the distal end, and the vented connector is configured and arranged to allow exposure of the vent tube to atmospheric conditions when in a disconnected configuration and to prevent exposure of the vent tube to atmospheric conditions when in a connected configuration. The expandable member accommodates changes in air pressure within the vent tube when the vented connector is in the connected configuration.

  • Patent number: 10251284
    Abstract: An easy assembly control panel and method is disclosed. In one example, an enclosure is provided having a pilot device coupled to the enclosure. A pre-assembled control panel is inserted into the enclosure, quick coupling the control panel to the pilot device and providing control communication between the pilot device and the control panel. No additional manual wiring or manual mechanical coupling is needed to couple the user interface device to the control panel. The control panel can be used as part of a system, such as a submersible pump system.

  • Patent number: 10193546
    Abstract: A pump switching device is provided. The pump switching device includes a relay, a switch, a sensor and a controller. The relay selectively couples current to a pump motor. The switch is coupled in parallel with the relay. The sensor is configured to generate a signal upon the detection of a condition. The controller is in communication with the sensor. The controller is further coupled to control the relay and the switch. The controller is configured to activate the switch a select amount of time before the controller activates the relay upon initial detection of the signal from the sensor. The controller is further configured to deactivate the switch a select amount of time after the relay is activated while the signal is being detected.

  • Patent number: 10141141
    Abstract: A magnetically activated switch comprises an arm member, an actuating member, and a switch. The arm member has a first magnet and the actuating member has a second magnet. The actuating member is configured and arranged to move relative to the arm member thereby moving the second magnet relative to the first magnet. The second magnet has a repulsion force to the first magnet. The switch has a contact. Movement of the second magnet in a first direction past the first magnet positions the contact in an open position and movement of the second magnet in a second direction past the first magnet positions the contact in a closed position.
