  • Patent number: 11614010
    Abstract: A panel assembly includes a panel member, a frame member, and at least one first bar member, and at least one second bar member. The at least one first bar member and the at least one second bar member divide the panel member into a plurality of first areas defining a first height and a first width. The panel assembly also includes a plurality of support arrangements for dividing each first area into a plurality of second areas. Each support arrangement includes a first support member defining a first length such that the first width defined by the first area is greater than the first length. Each support arrangement also includes a second support member defining a second length such that the first height defined by the first area is greater than the second length.

  • Patent number: 11400872
    Abstract: A heat shield system for shielding sensors from heat includes a sleeve portion made of heat-insulating material and has a hollow shape sized and shaped to be wrapped about a pipe of the exhaust treatment system. The sleeve has a longitudinal slit and an opening formed through the sleeve. The opening is configured to receive a sensor. The system includes a collar portion made of heat-insulating material and includes a base part configured to attach to the sleeve portion and a collar enclosure that extends radially from the base part. The collar enclosure defines an open chamber configured to surround the sensor and shield the sensor from heat while permitting access to the sensor. A closure is configured to retain the collar portion on the sleeve portion and hold the heat shield system in place.

  • Patent number: 10934923
    Abstract: A heat shield assembly is provided for shielding a wire harness that is associated with a sensor in communication with a heat source. The heat shield assembly includes a base plate having a primary aperture that is configured to allow passage of the wire harness therethrough. The primary aperture is disposed in alignment with a hole defined on a shroud of the heat source. The heat shield assembly also includes a pair of walls extending upwardly from a pair of opposite edges of the base plate. Further, the heat shield assembly also includes a pair of ledge members that extend laterally from a pair of first ends associated with the pair of walls. Furthermore, the heat shield assembly also includes a pair of thermal diverter plates that extend angularly from a pair of second ends associated with the pair of ledge members.

  • Publication number: 20160250593
    Abstract: An aftertreatment assembly is disclosed. The aftertreatment assembly includes a housing including an inlet and an outlet. A chamber is disposed downstream of the inlet, and is axially to the inlet. At least one bank of catalyst module is disposed downstream of the chamber, and is extending laterally from the chamber. A plenum is disposed over the chamber, and is extending laterally from the at least one bank of catalyst module. At least one first sealing member is disposed between the at least one bank of catalyst module and the chamber and the plenum. The at least one first sealing member having a first portion and a second portion between the plenum and the chamber.

  • Patent number: 5587706
    Abstract: A selective call radio (100) includes a receiver section (103), an address detector (210), a power off command detector (220), and a power control section (240). The receiver section (103) is for receiving and demodulating a radio signal. The address detector (210) is for comparing an address demodulated by the receiver section (103) to at least one selective call address stored in the selective call radio (100). The address detector (210) is also for generating an address detect signal when the address matches one of the at least one selective call address within predetermined parameters. The power off command detector (220) is for generating a power off signal when the address detect signal is generated and the radio signal includes a power off command. The power control section (240) is responsive to the power off signal for changing a state of the selective call radio (100) to an off state.
