  • Patent number: 11940400
    Abstract: A gas sensor system includes at least one gas sensor configured to receive at least one gas to be sampled; a processor configured to implement computer executable instructions; a first output interface in communication with the processor; and a computer memory in communication with the processor. A method includes measuring a density of the at least one gas; at least one of a) heating and b) cooling the at least one gas with a first thermal input; determining a first rate at which the at least one gas changes temperature when at least one of a) heating and b) cooling the at least one gas; comparing at least one of the density and the first rate to a reference database of gases; and determining at least one of a) a category b) a lower explosive limit and c) a concentration of the at least one gas.

  • Patent number: 9733723
    Abstract: A remote data capture system includes a host computing device and a client computing device communicatively coupled to the host computing device. A capture device is coupled to the client computing device. The capture device is configured to receive an electrical input signal from a sensor and convert the input signal to corresponding input data having a predetermined electronic data format. The client computing device selectably transmits the input data to the host computing device.

  • Publication number: 20100291824
    Abstract: A fabric for use in the production of nonwoven material webs comprises at least one component system of monofilament polymeric yarns in each of the machine and cross-machine directions. At least some of the yarns of at least one system comprise surface roughened yarns having a substantially flat surface exposed in the web-contacting surface, with a surface roughness between 5 ?m and 100 ?m. The fabric can be woven, optionally including conductive yarns in either or both of the machine or cross-machine directions. The fabric can also be a spiral link construction comprising coils of helically assembled yarns, at least some of which will be surface roughened yarns; surface roughened stuffer yarns can also be provided within the coils. The fabrics have increased resistance to contamination by materials deposited during web formation and improved web release.

  • Patent number: 5617070
    Abstract: A thermostat for an electric/gas oven includes a first electrical contact, a second electrical contact, a switch spring arm for moving the electrical contacts into and out of engagement and a pair of actuators for coupling forces to the switch spring arm. An enclosure encloses the switch spring arm and the first and second electrical contacts. The enclosure has axially aligned channels extending through opposed walls for slidably receiving the actuators. A temperature responsive subassembly includes a mechanism for movement responsive to changes in oven temperature and a spindle subassembly including mechanism for movement responsive to manual rotation of a spindle. A frame supports the enclosure and supports both the temperature responsive subassembly and the spindle subassembly in operative position with respect to the actuators. A self cleaning temperature calibration mechanism selectively determines a self cleaning oven temperature setting.

  • Patent number: 4737888
    Abstract: A receptacle assembly for making electrical connections to a circuit board mounted in a chassis facilitates assembly of the components and avoids damage to the circuit board connections due to vibrations and shock. The assembly includes a receptacle connector having a housing adapted to be supported on a panel of the chassis and a plurality of terminals supported within the housing. A mounting bracket has a base portion and a grounding bracket clamps the base against the circuit board. Apertures in the base are aligned with a pattern of holes in the circuit board. A flange on the grounding bracket is attached to the panel and a standoff on the grounding bracket positions the mounting bracket and the circuit board in the chassis. A length of multiple conductor flexible cable has conductors with first ends connected to the terminals of the receptacle connector and second ends extending through the apertures for connection to the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 4200775
    Abstract: A pressure responsive switch includes a diaphragm exposed to a pressure source and operating combination of levers to open and close a switch at predetermined pressure values. To prevent operation of a pump motor at abnormally low values, an element is provided between the diaphragm and the switch operating means to open the contacts.
