  • Publication number: 20180038755
    Abstract: A system comprising a housing, a differential pressure sensor and first and second male adaptors. The differential pressure sensor is located inside the housing. The first male adaptor extends through a first opening in the housing. The first male adaptor comprises a proximal end configured to receive a first pipe, a distal end secured to the differential pressure sensor, and an internal fluid conduit for transmitting fluid received from the first pipe to the differential pressure sensor. The second male adaptor extends through a second opening in the housing. The second male adaptor comprises a proximal end configured to receive a second pipe, a distal end secured to the differential pressure sensor, and an internal fluid conduit for transmitting fluid received from the second pipe to the differential pressure sensor. The differential pressure sensor is configured to determine a pressure differential between fluid received via the first male connector and fluid received via the second male connector.

  • Publication number: 20180034340
    Abstract: The present relates to a system comprising a housing, a motor assembly, a printed circuit board (PCB) and a shaft. The motor assembly is located inside the housing. The motor assembly comprises a control for alternatively engaging and disengaging a functionality of the motor assembly. The printed circuit board (PCB) is located inside the housing and defines an aperture for receiving the shaft. The shaft extends through the aperture of the PCB. A first end of the shaft is adapted for actuating the control of the motor assembly. A second end of the shaft extends through an opening in the housing and is adapted for receiving an actuator.

  • Publication number: 20150262509
    Abstract: A single-unit portable Braille device is provided that can include a housing and a touch-sensitive surface provided on the housing and configured to implement a virtual Braille keyboard including a plurality of virtual keys each associated with a key location on the touch-sensitive surface. The virtual Braille keyboard is configured for entry of input Braille data from a user contacting the touch-sensitive surface at one or more of the key locations. The portable Braille device also includes a refreshable Braille display provided on the housing and configured for outputting output Braille data for tactile reading by the user, and a processing unit in the housing and configured to receive the input Braille data from the touch-sensitive surface and to transmit the output Braille data to the refreshable Braille display. In some implementations, the portable Braille device includes a visual display located under the touch-sensitive surface.
