Abstract: A belt driven position sensor includes a ball screw. The belt driven position sensor also includes a belt operatively coupled to the ball screw, wherein the belt moves in response to translation of the ball screw. The belt driven position sensor further includes a plurality of pulleys, each of the plurality of pulleys being engaged with the belt, wherein the movement of the belt rotates each of the plurality of pulleys. The belt driven position sensor yet further includes a plurality of sensor magnets, at least one of the plurality of sensor magnets being at least partially embedded in each of the plurality of pulleys. The belt driven position sensor also includes a probe housing assembly having a plurality of sensor chips to determine an absolute position of the ball screw based on the angular position of each of the plurality of sensor magnets.

Abstract: A steer-by-wire steering system for a vehicle includes a bar extending from a first end to a second end, the bar defining a first groove and a second groove within an outer surface of the bar. The steer-by-wire steering system also includes an anti-rotation cartridge comprising a sleeve containing separate wear plates in which a plurality of ball bearings roll, wherein a first end of the sleeve contains a sleeve groove and window features, the inner surface of the sleeve containing V-shaped grooves in which the wear plates are disposed.

Abstract: A high efficiency compact boiler is disclosed which includes a burner configured to introduce combustion gases into an interior region of the boiler, a heat exchange tube made of a length of finned tubing in the form of a helical coil positioned within the interior region of the boiler such that combustion gases from the burner can flow from a region inside the helical coil to a region outside the helical coil, and a floating baffle configured to redirect the flow of combustion gases around the finned tubing as it passes from the region inside the helical coil to the region outside the helical coil, the baffle being positioned proximal adjacent turns of the helical coil and having a coiled configuration corresponding substantially to the helical coil.
