  • Patent number: 12381057
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for implementing a starter system that utilizes multiple starter solenoids physically isolated from each other. For example, the system may include a first solenoid mechanically connected to a starter motor. The first solenoid may be configured to receive a first starting current signal and mechanically couple the starter motor with an engine. The system may further include a second solenoid mounted within an explosion proof structure physically isolating the second solenoid from the first solenoid and the starter motor. The system may further include a non-incendive circuit mounted within the explosion proof structure. The non-incendive circuit may be configured to indicate that the starter motor is coupled with the engine and signal the second solenoid for activation to supply a cranking current signal to windings of the starter motor for operation.

  • Publication number: 20250035243
    Abstract: A clamp for joining pipes has a body that is generally rectangular and a ledge that includes a fastener. The body fits over one pipe with the ledge between the pipes and the fastener passes through an aperture in the second pipe. The pipes are joined by applying a closure to the fastener.

  • Publication number: 20240369056
    Abstract: A pump cartridge for mounting on a drive rotor includes a roller assembly having first and second hubs maintained in a spaced apart relationship and defining an axis, and a plurality of planetary rollers arranged in a circumferentially spaced orientation about the axis, the rollers mounted to the hubs displacement radially outward. One or more compressible tubing lines are interposed between the rollers and an interior wall of the pump cartridge housing. The housing and the first and second hubs collectively define a passageway through which a spreader on the drive rotor extends and may be rotated relative to the roller assembly to displace the rollers radially outward to thereby compress the tubing lines against the interior wall. A coupling feature on the first hub engages a roller driving feature of the rotor, so that rotation of the rotor causes rotation of the roller assembly about the axis.

  • Patent number: 10802679
    Abstract: A method for configuring a data analyzer is provided. The method comprises displaying to a user, on a presentation interface coupled to a processor, a graphical representation of at least a portion of the data analyzer. A data analyzer configuration for the data analyzer is then generated using a user input interface, which is coupled to the presentation interface and the processor. The presentation interface then displays to the user a plurality of selectable machine train components. The method also comprises generating, using the user input interface, an interactive graphical representation of a machine train including at least one of the selectable machine train components. Using the processor, a configuration file is generated based on the data analyzer configuration and the graphical representation of the machine train. The configuration file facilitates diagnosing operation of the machine train using the data analyzer.

  • Publication number: 20200261671
    Abstract: A respiratory therapy system configured to deliver gases to a patient can have a non-sealed gas flow generating arrangement configured to deliver a high flow of positive gas to an airway of a patient and a negative flow of gas away from an airway of the patient. The positive and negative flows of gas can be generated simultaneously. The flow of positive and negative gases reduces exhaled gases in anatomical dead spaces of the patient.
