Abstract: The present invention relates to a cargo tie-down monitoring device for transportation vehicles. More specifically, the cargo tie-down monitoring device allows transportation vehicle operators to monitor the status of the straps, chains, cables and other cargo securing equipment in real time; thereby preventing or minimizing cargo from shifting on/or falling from a transportation vehicle. The device includes a base, fasteners, tension pressure sensors, display screen, audio and visual alarms, and a transceiver. By pairing the cargo tie-down monitoring device with an electronic device such as a cell phone, transportation vehicle operators can monitor the status of the tie-down equipment and be notified if tension or pressure changes on any of the tie-down equipment.

Abstract: A reductant decomposition reactor for use in exhaust systems and a method for making the same are provided, wherein the reactor includes a unitary tube portion formed with a reductant injector mount and a mixer mounted therein. The mixer fits in a seamless tube portion and is configured to enhance a reductant and an exhaust stream.
