  • Patent number: 11719359
    Abstract: In one general aspect, the present application relates to a leak detection device that includes a body, a liquid separator, and a liquid level detector. The body includes an airflow inlet, an airflow outlet, and a liquid reservoir. The airflow outlet is arranged to substantially align with the airflow inlet. The liquid reservoir is formed in a bottom portion of the body. The liquid separator is positioned directly between the airflow inlet and the airflow outlet. The liquid separator divides an airflow path from the airflow inlet to the airflow outlet into at least two separate flow paths around the liquid separator. The liquid level detector is at least partially contained within a channel defined within a lower portion of the liquid separator, where the channel is in liquid communication with the liquid reservoir.

  • Patent number: 10308002
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of bonding a first part to a second part to form an assembly. The method includes positioning a plurality of adhesive spacers between the first part and the second part. Each adhesive spacer is made of a first curable adhesive in a cured state. The method further includes positioning at least one adhesive layer between the plurality of adhesive spacers and the first part and between the plurality of adhesive spacers and the second part. Each adhesive layer is made of the same first curable adhesive as the plurality of adhesive spacers, but in a non-cured state. The method further includes with the plurality of adhesive spacers between the first part, the second part, and the adhesive layers, curing the first part, the second part, and the adhesive layers.
