Abstract: An internal combustion motor vehicle temperature sensor. The sensor comprises a metal mounting port having a threaded portion, an electrical terminal, a temperature sensing element electrically connected to the electrical terminal and enclosed within a cavity defined by the metal mounting port, and a plastic connector molded over the metal mounting port, where the plastic encases at least a portion of the electrical terminal and where the plastic connector defines a torque transfer shoulder.

Abstract: A method for correcting a position of an excavation vehicle, the excavation vehicle comprising a cab, a boom, a stick, and a bucket, is provided. The method detects vehicle tilt angle data; calculates tilt-compensated position output for the boom, based on a current boom angle and the detected vehicle tilt angle data; and adjusts the position, based on the tilt-compensated position output.

Abstract: A circuit breaker includes a breaker housing, a stationary contact, a movable contact, an operating shaft, and a linear position sensor. The stationary contact is non-movably mounted within the breaker housing, and the movable contact is movably mounted within the breaker housing. The movable contact is coupled to receive an input force and is configured, upon receipt of the input force, to move between a closed position, in which the movable contact is electrically coupled to the stationary contact, and an open position, in which the movable contact is electrically isolated from the stationary contact. The operating shaft is coupled to the movable contact to supply the input force thereto. The linear position sensor is connected to the operating shaft and is configured, upon movement of the operating shaft, to supply a position signal representative of movable contact position.
