  • Patent number: 8322132
    Abstract: An exhaust treatment system associated with a power source is disclosed. The exhaust treatment system may have a filter located to remove particulate matter from an exhaust flow of the power source. The exhaust treatment system may further have a heat source located to elevate the temperature of the exhaust flow. The exhaust treatment system may also have a first sensor and a second sensor. The exhaust treatment system may further have a controller in communication with the heat source, the first sensor, and the second sensor. The controller may be configured to receive a particulate matter load value and a power source load value and activate the heat source when the particulate matter load value is above a particulate matter load threshold value and the power source load value is below a power source load threshold value that is indicative of the exhaust flow being within an exhaust flow range.

  • Patent number: 7819690
    Abstract: A connector (50) is useful for making an electrically conductive connection with at least one conductive member. A disclosed example has one use for making such a connection with a tension member (32) in an elevator load bearing assembly (30). An example connector (50) includes projections (54) having a unique configuration that withstands compressive and bending forces associated with piercing through at least a portion of a conductive member (32). A disclosed example includes a generally concave surface (64) and a generally convex surface (66) along at least a portion of each projection. In a disclosed example, the projections at least partially lie on opposite sides of a centerline (68) of the connector (50).

  • Patent number: 6232930
    Abstract: A dual band antenna (12) includes a coil (14) and a reactive element (30). The coil (14) has a plurality of windings (20) including first and second selected windings (22,24) between the first and second ends (16,18). Reactive element (30) includes a conductive element (32) disposed on a dielectric film (40), the conductive element (32) having a selected area and shape and extending to first and second ends (34,36) associated with the first and second selected windings (22,24). The reactive element (30) is at least partially wrapped around the coil (14) with the film (40) adjacent to the windings (20) and extending therealong at least between the first and second selected windings (22,24) such that the first and second ends (34,36) of the conductive element (32) are adjacent to and insulated from the first and second selected windings (22,24).

  • Patent number: 6116957
    Abstract: An electrical connector (10) for interconnecting discrete circuits on a first circuit board (14) with discrete circuits on a second circuit board (16), includes an insulating housing (18) having a series of contact members (20) arranged in side by side cavities (22). Each contact member (20) has a straight shank (130) that is only partially supported by the floor (32) of the housing. The shank (130) has a first beam (136) at one end and a second beam (138) at the other end, each end of which has a respective one of first and second contacts (140, 142) attached thereto. Each contact terminates in a pre-load member (144, 146) that is formed parallel to the shank and slidingly extends into a recess (120) in the housing. Each pre-load member (144, 146) includes a latch surface (168) that abuts against a stop surface (124) formed in the housing (18) to limit movement of the contacts and thereby provide a desired pre-load to each contact (140, 142).
