Abstract: A tray for a vaporization vessel that includes a tray having a side wall, a bottom plate, one or more apertures that extend through the bottom plate, and a duct that extends through and from the bottom plate. The tray configured to support a solid reagent to be vaporized. A method of assembling the tray that includes forming a first tray that has the side wall and the bottom plate. A vaporization vessel that includes one or more of the trays.

Abstract: An imager assembly for a vehicular camera module includes an imager circuit board and a lens holder. An imager is disposed at the imager circuit board. The lens holder includes a lens holding portion that accommodates a lens. The lens holder includes a plurality of pins extending from an attaching portion and extending in a direction away from the lens holding portion of the lens holder. With the attaching portion of the lens holder at the imager circuit board, individual pins of the plurality of pins are received at least partially through respective apertures of the imager circuit board to locate the lens holder at the imager circuit board. With the pins received at least partially through the apertures of the imager circuit board, and with the lens aligned with the imager at the imager circuit board, the pins are fixedly attached at the imager circuit board.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system with a power management device, a wakeup circuit, a battery management device, and a connector. During a powered down mode of operation, the battery management device can provide, via the connector, a bias voltage to the wakeup circuit. In response to a wakeup switch being activated, the battery management device can provide a power supply (e.g., from a battery) to the power management device. Benefits of the wakeup circuit include (1) a reduction of battery consumption—and thus improving battery lifetime—when the electronic system is in a powered down mode of operation because the wakeup circuit has lower number of active components compared to other designs and (2) a non-complex wakeup circuit design because one or more existing connector interconnects between the power management device and the battery management device can be re-used during electronic system's powered down mode of operation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pump comprising a rotatable barrel, a tiltable pump cam, and a proportional servo actuator operatively connected to the pump cam to affect the angle between the pump cam and the axis of the barrel.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for hydraulically driving and controlling a cooling fan.The apparatus includes a variable displacement hydraulic pump driven by a prime mover and a hydraulic motor connected to the pump and being driven thereby. The motor in turn is connected to a fan which serves to cool fluid passing through an associated heat exchanger. A temperature/force transducer monitors the temperature of fluid flowing from the exchanger and serves to control a pilot relief valve associated therewith. A pressure regulator is connected to the pump and acts in cooperation with the relief valve to control fluid pressure from the pump and thus torque of the motor and speed of the cooling fan.The method includes the steps of pumping hydraulic working fluid to a motor and driving the motor with the full hydraulic output of the pump to power a fan associated with a cooling system heat exchanger.

Abstract: A shearing cutter for wire and cable, particularly insulated metal wires and wire bundles as used in electrical and electronic circuits, is constructed in the form of a hand tool with elongated, hinged handles adapted to develop shearing forces between cooperating blades cantilevered beyond the hinge point from each of the handles. The blades are symmetrical in shape and define a substantially circular opening between semicircular bights sharpened into cutting edges in each of the blades. A wire or cable is maintained in a central location with respect to the aforementioned bights by the enveloping nature of the cutting edges, resulting in a clean, uniform shear plane.

Abstract: The combination of a snowmobile and a watertight hull with propeller drive shaft wherein the snowmobile has a drive shaft which includes telescopically extensible section on both ends of which universal joints are provided so that the snowmobile drive shaft can be readily disconnected from its traction tread and connected to the propeller drive shaft of said hull.
