  • Patent number: 9381779
    Abstract: A thermal pressure measurement assembly coupled to a rim of an aircraft wheel. A housing is configured to be fastened to a wheel face. An electronics enclosure is positioned in the housing. Electronics are positioned in the electronics enclosure and configured to process a signal received from a remote sensor that measures tire pressure and temperature. Internal insulation is positioned in an interior of the housing. The internal insulation is configured to reduce the temperature of the electronics sufficiently to permit use of low temperature electronics rated to 125 degrees C.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7857152
    Abstract: A flue spacer for providing a flue space in a storage rack having a transversely extending spacer surface and first and second legs. The first and second legs extend from the spacer surface and are adapted to attach the spacer surface to at least two uprights of the storage rack so that the spacer surface is offset from the uprights to form a vertical flue space within the storage rack. At least one of the legs may be adapted to attach to a lateral surface of an upright. The flue spacer also may be adapted to extend across multiple storage racks. A shelving system using the flue spacer is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20080237163
    Abstract: A flue spacer, suitable for providing a flue space in a storage rack, having a transversely extending spacer surface, a first leg extending from a first end of the spacer surface, a first tab extending from the first leg, a second leg extending from a second end of the spacer surface, a second tab extending from the second leg, and at least one resilient member between the first and second tabs. The resilient member is adapted to allow the first and second tabs to be moved towards one another and apply a restoring force to urge the first and second tabs away from one another. The first and second tabs are adapted to attach the spacer surface to at least two storage rack uprights such that the spacer surface is offset from the storage rack uprights to form a vertical flue space within the storage rack.

  • Patent number: 5897090
    Abstract: The puck for a sample tube includes a housing, a spring device and an end cap. The spring device has an annular base portion and angularly spaced spring arms that extend upwardly from the base portion and then bend downwardly toward the base portion. The end cap includes a hub portion around which the spring device is mounted. The cap with the spring device are fixed at one end of the housing and a portion of the spring arms extend into the interior space of the housing. The downwardly directed portion of the spring arm includes a sample tube engaging portion that is substantially parallel with a central axis of the housing. Thus a sample tube inserted in the puck engages the sample tube engaging portions of the spring arms which exert a biasing force against the sample tube. The spring arms provide an optimum restraining force against the sample tube to permit easy insertion and removal of the sample tube from the puck.
