  • Patent number: 10126196
    Abstract: A multi-condition sensor, comprising a housing defining a component cavity, a pressure input tube disposed through the housing, a fault actuator disposed within the component cavity of the housing and in pressure communication with the pressure input tube through the housing, wherein the fault actuator is configured to extend and contract as a function of pressure from the pressure input tube, an alarm actuator disposed within the component cavity of the housing opposite the fault actuator and configured to be actuated by the fault actuator and to extend to a maximum fault position, and an adjustable alarm contact disposed on an opposite side of the alarm actuator within the component cavity and configured to be adjusted to a predetermined extension length from the housing to provide a predetermined alarm contact position.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130317777
    Abstract: An impact energy sensor comprises a accelerometer, an analog signal filter, threshold circuitry, and a data processor. The analog signal filter is configured to filter signals from the accelerometer. The threshold circuitry is configured to output a non-zero threshold bit only in response to filtered signals from the accelerometer which exceed a specified sensitivity threshold. The data processor is configured to assess impact energy by accumulating threshold bits from the threshold circuitry, and is further configured to transmit an alarm message only if N or more threshold bits are accumulated within a time window of width T, where N and T are predetermined application-specific values.
