Publication number: 20220158313Abstract: A battery cell connector for use with an external device. In an aspect, the battery cell connector comprises a body with at least three layers, configured to simultaneously provide improved weldability and conductivity. In the same aspect, the battery cell connector comprises a terminal connected to the terminal arm of the body of the cell connector and a voltage transmitting component connected to said terminal, wherein the voltage transmitting component is configured to connect to an external device on the opposing end.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2021Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Louis R. Lamborghini, Michael Haynes

Patent number: 8405527Abstract: A touch sensor system. The touch sensor system may include a touch sensor configured to provide an output in response to contact with a touch area, a controller coupled to the touch sensor and configured to provide a code representative of the output and a memory coupled to the controller. The memory may be configured to receive and store the code in a first time interval and to provide the code in a second time interval wherein the second time interval begins after the first time interval ends. Adjacent key suppression algorithms are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2010Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Stoneridge Control Devices, Inc.Inventors: Kenny Chung, Benjamin K. Yuen, Louis R. Lamborghini, Thomas E. Babington

Patent number: 8324910Abstract: A touch sensor assembly. The touch sensor assembly may include a housing, at least one touch sensor and a sensor cover. The sensor cover may identify a touch area associated with each touch sensor. The housing may form a water tight cavity for the sensor cover and the touch sensor when coupled to an housing cover. A raised dome may be provided, e.g. on the sensor cover or another element, to provided tactile feed back. LEDs may be provided for illuminating the touch areas and/or sensing ambient light. A controller may control the illumination level of the LEDs in response to sensed ambient light. Adjacent key suppression algorithms are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2009Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Stoneridge Control Devices, Inc.Inventors: Louis R. Lamborghini, Benjamin K. Yuen, Thomas E. Babington

Patent number: 6674620Abstract: A hermetic motor protector (10) has a non-current carrying snap-acting thermostatic disc (26) freely disposed on a disc seat (22a) having a tab (22c) projecting through a centrally located aperture (26a) in the disc. An outer peripheral portion of the disc is received under a leg (22e) of the bracket limiting upward motion of the disc at that location and causing the disc to act as a lever pivoting about the disc seat (22a) as a fulcrum so that the outer peripheral portion of the disc diametrically opposite to leg (22e) engages a motion transfer bump (28d) formed on a movable contact arm cantilever mounted on leg (22e) when the disc snaps from its normally contacts engaged configuration to its opposite dished contacts open configuration when the disc is heated to its actuation temperature by a heater element (24) along with heat conducted from a motor with which the protector is used.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2001Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Louis R. Lamborghini, Gary K. Maus
