Publication number: 20240120689Abstract: The electrical connector unit includes a first connector electrically coupled to a component to define a path for electrical supply therethrough for an activation and a deactivation of the component. The first connector includes a body, electrical contacts, and an opening. The body includes a surface that defines an array of electrical contact locations including one or more first electrical contact locations and a second electrical contact location. The electrical contacts extend correspondingly from the first electrical contact locations. The opening extends from the second electrical contact location to fluidly couple with an interior of an enclosure encasing the component. The first connector is configured to receive a second connector configured to facilitate passage of a fluid through the opening to create a pressure differential between the interior of the enclosure and an exterior of the enclosure for performing a leak testing of the enclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: John Ryan Jones, Rodney Lee Rolffs, Timothy Vincent Connor

Publication number: 20240093927Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a method for controlling the temperature of a surface. In some embodiments, the method includes applying a variable input to a heat pump (e.g., a Peltier) in thermal communication with the surface. The variable input may vary about a voltage and may include a powered period and an unpowered period. In some embodiments, the method includes measuring a temperature of an element in thermal communication with the surface, determining, based on the temperature of the element, whether a temperature of the surface is within a safe temperature range for a user in thermal communication with the surface, in response to determining the surface is not within the safe temperature range, adjusting the voltage of the variable input to the heat pump, and in response to determining the surface is within the safe temperature range, continuing operation of the variable input at the voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Tylan A.
