  • Patent number: 11898891
    Abstract: A fluid level detector is provided, which has a transmitter, a receiver, and a sensing zone adjacent the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter and receiver are arranged such that when an electric field forms between the transmitter and receiver, a fringe electric field extends from the transmitter into the sensing zone. The transmitter and receiver are both on a same side of the sensing zone, and a fluid located at the sensing zone changes a measured capacitance at the transmitter and receiver system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 7, 2023
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2024
    Assignee: BE THE CHANGE LABS, INC.

  • Patent number: 6793270
    Abstract: A service door assembly for a recreational vehicle including a sidewall defining an opening, the sidewall including an inner panel, an outer panel and a cavity therebetween filled with an insulation material. The service door assembly includes a door frame and a door. The door frame is adapted to be disposed in the opening. The door frame includes a plurality of integrally formed mounting tabs interconnected to a remainder of the frame through a living hinge. Each mounting tab is articulable between a first position and a second position such that in the second position a portion of the locking tab extends into the cavity of the sidewall. The door is mounted to the door frame. The door includes an inner member and an outer member connected with a securing arrangement integrally formed therewith. The securing arrangement includes an opening defined by the outer member of a pair of walls of the outer member and a mounting member integrally formed with the inner member.
