Abstract: A temperature sensor assembly including a tip body, a wire harness body, and a temperature sensing element. The tip body includes a closed end and an open end having a first flange portion. The wire harness body includes an open end having a second flange portion. A crimp couples the flange portions together to form a temperature sensor housing defining an interior cavity. The temperature sensing element is disposed within the interior cavity. A temperature sensor assembly may also include temperature sensing element and a temperature sensor housing defining an interior cavity. A distal end region of the interior cavity includes a temperature sensing element cavity defined by a closed end of the temperature sensor housing and configured to receive the temperature sensing element. A portion of the temperature sensing element cavity is heat-shrunk around a portion of the temperature sensing element.

Abstract: A sensor system includes a wiring harness including at least one wire, a grommet, a nugget, a sensor, and a harness sleeve, wherein the grommet includes at least one passageway configured to receive the wire and the nugget includes at least one terminal molded into the nugget and coupled to the wire. A mineral insulated cable may be coupled to the sensor and to the terminal and the harness sleeve may define at least one cavity configured to receive the nugget and at least a portion of the grommet. The harness sleeve may be coupled to the mineral insulated cable and may include a first crimp coupling the harness sleeve to the grommet. The harness sleeve may also include a second crimp coupling the harness sleeve to the nugget.

Abstract: A clutch control system for allowing a motorcycle drag racer to release the clutch while having both hands firmly grasping the handlebars. The inventive device includes an air cylinder having an actuator shaft, a length of air hose fluidly connected to the air cylinder and to a press-urized air tank, a valve within the air hose, a first member attached to the air cylinder having a first slot and a first opening, a second member attached to the distal end of the actuator shaft having a second slot and a second opening, and a control switch in communication with the valve. The first opening and the second opening receiving the distal portions of the adjustment mechanism within the clutch cable.
