Abstract: An industrial control device includes a display, a body, a first sensor, and a controller. The body includes a facia wall, an inner shroud, and an outer shroud. The facia wall includes a window that is a transparent material aligned to permit the display to be viewed through the window. The inner shroud extends rearward from a rear side of the facia wall. The outer shroud is disposed about the inner shroud and extends rearward from the rear side of the facia wall and is spaced apart from the inner shroud to define a cavity. A seal member is within the cavity forms a seal with a facia plate disposed about the inner shroud. The first sensor detects contact with a front surface of the facia wall. The controller is coupled to an output of the first sensor. The controller is coupled to the display and controls the display.

Abstract: An industrial control device includes a display, a body, and a controller. The body includes a capacitive slider sensor, a graphic, and a window. The graphic overlaps the capacitive slider sensor. The window is transparent and aligned with the display to permit the display to be viewed through the window. The controller is coupled to an output of the capacitive slider sensor to receive signals from the capacitive slider sensor. The controller is coupled to the display and configured to control the display.

Abstract: A control system includes an electric heater disposed within an exhaust fluid flow pathway, and a control device for receiving at least one input selected from the group consisting of temperature readings along the exhaust fluid flow pathway, alternator power/current/voltage, battery power/current/voltage/state of charge, IAT and EAT profiles, mass flow rate of an exhaust fluid flow, NH3 slip, TCR characteristics of the heater, alternator speed, engine speed, state of aging of an aftertreatment component, state of aging of engine, aging degradation characteristics, a dosing rate and a temperature of DEF, NH3 storage condition of aftertreatment system, an ambient temperature, and combinations thereof. The control device modulates power to the heater based on the at least one input such that the heater provides different power output as a function of the at least one input and a continuously variable power output during operation of the exhaust system.

Abstract: A multiple heater control system includes cables, connectors, and junction boxes for user-friendly daisy chain connections of heater controllers and heaters in various configurations or combinations of individually controlled heater series and/or master and slave heater series. The heater controllers include process control of AC power to the heaters and upper-limit safety shutoff that is substantially independent from the process control. The heater controllers also have variable levels of control, adjustment, display, and communications functionality in a base module that is expandable to various levels with expansion modules that are attachable to and detachable from the base module. Connector, cable, and junction configurations, adapters, and latch features enhance user friendliness.

Abstract: A user interface assembly and method for a power controller having a housing adapted for mechanically coupling to a controller housing of the power controller, a display visible on an outer surface of the housing for providing a visual presentation to a user, a user input mechanism for receiving an input from the user, a user interface circuit disposed within the housing and coupled to the display and the user input mechanism for controlling an operation the power controller when coupled to the user interface assembly, and a connector coupled to the user interface circuit and adapted for electrically connecting the user interface circuit to an electrical connector associated with the power controller upon the mechanical coupling of the housing to the controller housing.

Abstract: A support assembly for use in combination with a boat or like marine craft having an open cockpit or compartment area thereon wherein the support platform is disposed in overlying, covering relation to the open cockpit and is dimensioned, structured and configured to support one or more people thereon in either an upright or reclining position. The material from which the support platform is formed comprises an at least partially flexible, tightly woven polypropylene material which is secured in the aforementioned operative position by anchoring and connection facilities so as to maintain tension on the support platform and thereby provide the support platform with a substantially rigid configuration which will at least minimally yield to the weight of a person's body supported on the support platform over the open cockpit of the boat or marine craft.
