Abstract: A fence post insert for adjusting a gate. The fence post insert allows for increasing or decreasing tension on a tensioning device within the gate post to adjust the tension on the gate post. This tension allows the gate post to move away from or toward the gate causing the gate to pull away from or move toward the opposing post or opposing gate section. The gate post insert allows for the adjustment of a gate by correcting a gate that is either too close or too far from the opposing side of the gate, typically either another post or a second gate, such as in double gate.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the operation of an engine-independent auxiliary heater in a cooling system with multiple coolant circuits in a vehicle system with an auxiliary heater. On or after activating the vehicle system for a cold start, a shut-off valve is opened between a first coolant circuit with the auxiliary heater and a second coolant circuit with the coolant temperature sensor. A coolant pump is activated so that coolant from the first coolant circuit flushes around the coolant temperature sensor. A time course of a temperature reading from the coolant temperature sensor is performed for a predetermined period of time from the time the vehicle system is activated. A gradient of the temperature reading curve is determined. The gradient of the temperature reading curve is evaluated using a threshold value comparison to determine whether the auxiliary heater was activated before the cold start.
