Patent number: 10996126Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: S.J. Electro Systems, Inc.Inventor: Alan J. Bergum

Patent number: 10141141Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: S. J. Electro Systems, Inc.Inventor: Alan J. Bergum
