Abstract: The invention pertains to a solar sensor that includes a first modulator that is transparent to electromagnetic waves within a spectrum, and an additional modulator that is at best slightly transparent to the electromagnetic waves within the spectrum. The additional modulator features a belt-shaped region of varying widths that is arranged on the outside of the first modulator and partially covers the first modulator, and a photodetector that receives the electromagnetic waves and is covered by the first modulator.

Abstract: A light sensor for recording the position of a light source includes a photo detector and a light modulator. The light modulator is configured to modulate the quantity of light hitting the photo detector based on an incident angle (?) of the light from the light source on the sensor.

Abstract: A substrate and an organic electroluminescence device employing the substrate are provided. The substrate has at least one non-continuous photo-resist coating layer formed on at least one surface of a supporting substrate and the non-continuous photo-resist coating has a plurality of continuous portions. The continuous portions may have high surface energy areas and low surface energy areas. A second photo-resist coating layer is used to at least temporarily overlap the continuous portion which corresponds to the high surface energy area in order to form the low surface energy area.

Abstract: A fluid sealing system constructed according to the invention includes a fluid housing having at least the fluid ports disposed in laterally fixed, parallel relation to one another. Within each port there is disposed a fluid seal. At least two associated fluid conduits are provided having distal ends which are extendible into their associated fluid ports into sealing engagement with the fluid seals. A retaining plate supports the conduits in laterally spaced, parallel relationship with one another in such a way that the conduits can move relative to one another in the lateral direction to enable the conduits to be installed together as a bundled unit while enabling for adjustment in the lateral spacing of the conduits during installation to achieve matched alignment between the spacing of the conduits and the fixed spacing of the fluid ports.

Abstract: A sealing boot for a rack and pinion steering system includes a tubular body structure of flexible seal material formed with a plurality of convolutes and terminating at each open end in a neck. An inner sealing surface of at lease one of the necks is formed with a plurality of annular, alternating grooves and ribs, which reduces the contact area of the sealing surface and provides annular pockets for retaining lubricant at the sealing surface to provide low frictional resistance to the rotation of the component about which the neck is sealed relative to the boot.

Abstract: An outboard seal between a rack bar of a rack and pinion steering gear and a fluid motor cylinder tube around the rack bar. The outboard seal includes an annular bulkhead in an outboard end of the cylinder tube around the rack bar, a metal retaining ring preventing dislodgment of the bulkhead from the cylinder tube by fluid pressure in the cylinder tube, and a seal ring adjacent an end wall of the bulkhead having an outer surface resiliently pressing against the cylinder tube and an inner lip biased against the rack bar by garter spring. A coupling between the seal ring and the bulkhead consists of an annular groove in a cylindrical shoulder on the bulkhead and a flexible lip on the seal ring stretched over the cylindrical shoulder and seated loosely in the annular groove.

Abstract: A fluid coupling including a tube and a socket defined by a cylindrical counterbore in a housing. The cylindrical counterbore terminates at an annular seat and is interrupted by an annular first groove defining a first shoulder facing the annular seat and by an annular second groove defining a second shoulder facing the annular seat. The tube has an annular bead at one end which bears flush against the annular seat when the tube is plugged into the socket. A flexible retaining ring is mounted on the tube behind the bead. A plastic sleeve on the tube behind the flexible retaining ring has a cam at one end which radially expands the retaining ring to wedge the latter between the bead and the first shoulder. The retaining ring prevents dislodgment of the tube from the socket by reacting forces urging dislodgment substantially directly from the bead on the tube to the shoulder on the housing.

Abstract: The method and apparatus described herein produce a tubular shelf post having a plurality of spaced apart annular grooves along the length thereof and stamped indicia on the outside surface of the post at various groove locations. A grooving and stamping roller is utilized to simultaneously groove and stamp the post with indicia, such roller being substantially larger in diameter relative to the post whereby a single roller revolution is sufficient to groove and stamp the post thereby eliminating double stampings.
