  • Patent number: 11713751
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure includes a method of calibrating a pump in a system to determine a minimum pump duty cycle needed. The system comprises a pump, a plurality of application lines downstream of the pump, and a flow control device in each application line. The method determines the minimum pump duty cycle to achieve total flow in the system, achieves a minimum pressure in the system, and ensures that the flow control device is not at or beyond a maximum open position.

  • Patent number: 11450974
    Abstract: An electrical contact includes: a first end; a second end; and a solder cup section formed at the first end. The solder cup section conductively connects to an electric component including a wire, by soldering. The solder cup section has a circumferential wall region with an upper edge defining a solder cup opening at the first end, and a solder cup base, which is arranged opposite the solder cup opening and which defines a base of the solder cup section. The electrical contact is stamped and formed from a metal sheet.

  • Publication number: 20210066825
    Abstract: A method for joining an electrical terminal pre-populated in a contact carrier and an electrical conductor includes arranging a connection portion of the electrical conductor at a receiving section of the electrical terminal pre-populated in the contact carrier, arranging at least two electrodes on one or more sides of the receiving section of the electrical terminal pre-populated in the contact carrier receiving the connection portion of the electrical conductor, and fusing the connection portion of the electrical conductor and the receiving section of the electrical terminal pre-populated in the contact carrier by using the electrodes to join the electrical conductor and the electrical terminal pre-populated in the contact carrier.
