  • Machine for assembling fluid level senders
    Patent number: 8061018
    Abstract: A machine is provided for making a fluid level sender assembly having a first mounting member with a flange and a fluid level sender including a second mounting member that telescopically connects with the first mounting member. The machine has a base, a holding member to support the first mounting member, a head member having an outer ring configured to rotate the flange, the head member moving between a first and second position to allow placing the first mounting member on the holding member and a second position to allow the outer ring to rotate the flange and a sensor receiving member to engage the fluid level sender. The sensor receiving member may move with respect to the holding member to telescopically position the fluid level sender and the plurality of different longitudinal positions such that a plurality of differently sized fluid level sender assemblies can be constructed.

  • PHASE NOISE COMPENSATION FOR SPECTRAL MEASUREMENTS
    Publication number: 20050216214
    Abstract: A system and method compensate for phase noise of a spectrum analyzer based on an established model of the phase noise that accommodates a variety of operating states of the spectrum analyzer. The model is used to form an array that is applied to extract an output signal from measurement traces that are acquired by the spectrum analyzer.
