Abstract: A connector assembly includes a first elastomeric connector having a plurality of alternating elastomeric conductors and elastomer insulators. The first elastomeric connector has first and second contact interfaces spaced apart from one another and extending generally perpendicular to the conductors and insulators. The connector assembly also includes a second elastomeric connector having a plurality of alternating elastomeric conductors and elastomer insulators. The second elastomeric connector has first and second contact interfaces spaced apart from one another and extending generally perpendicular to the conductors and insulators. A holder includes a body extending between first and second opposing surfaces, and the body defines a first recess housing the first elastomeric connector and a second recess housing the second elastomeric connector.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes an elastomeric connector; and a flexible retention member. The retention member has a low profile body having a touchpad and an opening extending entirely through the body. The retention member also includes at least one dispensing well in communication with the opening.

Abstract: A body comprising a ceramic electrical resistance material of positive temperature coefficient of resistivity adapted to display a sharp increase in resistivity when heated to a selected temperature has passages extending through the body between opposite ends of the body for passing fluid through the passages in heat-exchange relationship to the body and has means electrically contacting spaced-apart portions of the body for directing electrical current through the body to self-heat the body. The body is made with an improved structure in an improved manner and is particularly adapted for use as a self-regulated fluid heater within a small or irregularly-shaped conduit or the like.

Abstract: A cylinder pressure transmitter has means mounting piezoelectric means to provide an electrical signal corresponding to the pressure of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine and has electronic means on the mounting means to amplify the signal for transmission to computer control means for regulating engine operation to improve performance. The electronic means are mounted on an insulating substrate which is secured to a rigid support in a housing. Guide means and locating means provided on the housing and on the mounting means cooperate in mounting the housing on the mounting means and contact means on the piezoelectric and electronic means fit together in an improved manner to provide reliable interconnection between the electronic and piezoelectric means and to retain that interconnection even when subjected to engine vibrations.
