Abstract: A mount includes a sensor that is configured to output data characterizing the environment. A first portion has a receiving portion and a first aperture for receiving the sensor. The receiving portion fixes the sensor to the first portion. A positive location portion is located on the receiving portion and is adapted to receive the sensor. The positive location portion and first portion orient the position and depth of the sensor. A second portion is removably secured to the first portion to form a clamping structure for retaining the sensor.

Abstract: A fluid flow rate sensor includes a detection circuit which generates a first signal corresponding to an output voltage of a bridge circuit, and a second signal corresponding to a fluid temperature. A control module can more accurately and quickly determine the fluid flow rate based on the first signal, the second signal and a look-up table. The look-up table includes a plurality of curves plotted according to data, indicating relationship among the fluid temperature, the output voltage and the fluid flow rate. The fluid flow rate sensor is inherently temperature compensated and has a shorter response time.

Abstract: A PTC circuit protection device to protect electronic devices against excessive temperatures and electrical currents. The device comprises a polymeric resistor element, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The polymeric resistor element changes resistance in response to temperature changes. The resistor element has an upper surface and a lower surface. The first electrode is in electrical contact with both the upper surface and the lower surface. The second electrode is in electrical contact with both the upper surface and the lower surface. The circuit protection device has a first effective area of resistance and a second effective area of resistance that is electrically in parallel with the first effective area.

Abstract: The resistance of a thermal protector is varied by forming different sizes of holes therethrough to vary the area. The external size and shape of the thermal protector remains the same for ease of fixturing and mating with other parts.
