  • Patent number: 11614026
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a coolant level sensor device for application in vehicles, comprising three interoperable component parts: a housing component, an interchangeable cartridge assembly, and a resistor pigtail. The housing component may be configured to permanently and/or semi-permanently reside within the engine cooling system such that the housing component may receive the interchangeable cartridge assembly selectively connected with the resistor pigtail. The interchangeable cartridge assembly may comprise a reed switch that may be replaceable when damaged. Further, the interchangeable cartridge mechanism may be configured to connect with the resistor pigtail, which may include at least one resistor, such that the at least one resistor may be removed from close proximity to the high temperatures generated by the engine, thus increasing the life of the resistor components.

  • Patent number: 9260046
    Abstract: A shelving unit including three wall clip/brackets and a shelf pivotally attached to the clip/brackets. Each clip/bracket includes a mounting engagement portion and a pair of parallel, extending arms. Each arm has a curved slot, and a pivot hole positioned above one end of the slot. The arc of the slot sets the other end of the slot higher. The shelf is pivotally bolted to the clip/bracket. A pin pivotally passes through the curved slots of the pair of arms and engages the shelf. One of the three clip/brackets has an additional vertical retention slot at the lower end of the curved slot. The shelf is pivotable to a first, substantially horizontal position with the pins at the other end of the slots, and to a second, substantially vertical position with the pin of the one of the three brackets being in the vertical retention slot of the one bracket.

  • Publication number: 20050084445
    Abstract: Methods to at least partially reduce a niobium oxide are described wherein the process includes heat treating the niobium oxide in the presence of a getter material and in an atmosphere which permits the transfer of oxygen atoms from the niobium oxide to the getter material, and for a sufficient time and at a sufficient temperature to form an oxygen reduced niobium oxide. Niobium oxides and/or suboxides are also described as well as capacitors containing anodes made from the niobium oxides and suboxides.
