Abstract: Implantable apparatuses or biosensors for facilitating imaging-based diagnoses and methods thereof are disclosed. An implantable apparatus is configured to exhibit a form when subjected to a first physical parameter indicative of a first physiological state, and a second form when subjected to a second physical parameter indicative of a second physiological state.

Abstract: A radiator cover includes a base seat with a mounting portion. A thermometer includes a temperature-indicating portion disposed within the mounting portion, an externally threaded portion extending downwardly from the temperature-indicating portion and having a bottom surface, and a sensor portion extending downwardly from the bottom surface. A threaded seat includes an internally threaded portion engaging the externally threaded portion, and an annular inner surface disposed below the internally threaded portion and confronting the bottom surface. An annular water seal is disposed between the bottom surface and the annular inner surface of the threaded seat to establish a water-tight seal therebetween.

Abstract: A radiator cap for use with a fluid cooling circuit associated with an engine, such as an automobile engine, includes elements that monitor various conditions in the radiator and provides a readout of such conditions. A circuit that has an audible signal is also included in the cap.

Abstract: A pressure cap (10) for a fixed neck of an automobile radiator is provided with an outer cap component (16) and with an inner cap component (15) which has a flow connection between the inside and the outside of the tank and a valve arrangement (11) for releasing and blocking the flow connection. An object of the invention is to allow the bias of the pressure-relief valve body to be adjustable while the temperature inside the tank can be measured directly and the action of the pressure-relief/vacuum valve body (12) remains constant, it is provided that the bias with which the pressure-relief valve body (12) is pressed against the sealing seat can be adjusted by means of a thermal drive (14) in the form of an expansion-material membrane capsule (50) which has a temperature sensor (54) that passes through the cap axis and extends into the tank's neck, and it is also provided that the vacuum valve body (13) is arranged eccentrically in relation to the cap axis.

Abstract: A temperature showable filler cap for engine radiator is composed of a filler cap, a thermometer, and a fixing ferrule, wherein a storing space is formed in a central portion of the filler cap for accommodating the thermometer, which is fixedly positioned with the fixing ferrule. A readout index is placed on the top end of the thermometer whose bottom end is extended downwardly to form a thermal sensing portion deep into the radiator to sense inside temperature and quantify to show on the readout index on the filler cap to keep a user informed of the temperature in the radiator to avoid scalding.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product that uses an expected output power level to compensate for slowly changing unintentional power fluctuations in a signal transmission system such that the actual transmitted power matches a calculated desired transmit power. Digital expected power data is sampled and filtered to generate an expected output power level. Actual output data is sampled and filtered to generate an actual output power level. A comparator periodically compares the expected output power level to the actual output power level. Preferably, the comparator first removes a correction value from the actual output power level that was added to the transmit signal to correct for unintentional power fluctuations. The resultant ratio or difference is sent to a correction module which generates a correction value therefrom. The correction value is converted to a dB quantity and added to existing correction values.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for protecting humidity sensing equipment within an enclosure that can be mounted in the return airflow of a furnace duct. The humidity sensing equipment is mounted on a printed wiring board, which is protected between a mounting base and an operational cover. The mounting base includes a protective shield which allows the humidity sensing equipment to protrude into the furnace duct and prevents damage to the humidity sensing equipment during installation.

Abstract: A radiator cap for closing the filler neck of a vehicle cooling system includes a numerical display assembly embedded in the top surface of the cap. A temperature probe extends from the bottom surface of the cap and is connected to the display assembly, the assembly being powered by a solar cell battery in the cap. Upon securing the cap to the filler neck the temperature probe senses the temperature of the associated cooling system, this information being delivered to the display assembly for conversion into numerical form. The cap enables a user to ascertain the cooling system temperature at the filler neck site.

Abstract: A device for monitoring the temperature and pressure of a liquid coolant in a cooling system having a sealant which seals around a needle from a pressure or temperature probe and re-seals itself upon removal of the needle. The sealant is fitted within an axial bore within the monitoring device. The needles of the pressure and temperature probes puncture the sealant and are adapted to be in communication with the cooling system. The monitoring device further includes a pressure relief probe for rapid decrease of the cooling system pressure. The invention may be for testing a closed pressurized system using the pressure probe with a valve or other orifice for pressurizing the system.

Abstract: A pressure-biased, temperature sensor means utilizing a cooperating pair of aligned bellows operators in a chamber communicating with a fluid system. One of the bellows expanding in response to an elevated temperature of said fluid and the second bellows expanding in response to a decrease in fluid pressure. Both of the bellows operate to move a diaphragm operator to close a switch means in a signal circuit thereby completing the circuit and energizing a signal means.

Abstract: A pressure-temperature sensor for monitoring a fluid system for an over-temperature, an under-pressure or an over-pressure condition. The sensor includes a bellows operator enclosed in a fluid-filled housing with a normally-closed, first switch means and a normally-open second switch means. A diaphragm operator and a bellows are responsive to changes in temperature and pressure to, respectively, operate the first and second switches to indicate an over-temperature, an under-pressure or an over-pressure condition.

Abstract: A pressure-biased, temperature sensor for monitoring a fluid system for either an over-temperature or under-pressure condition. The sensor includes a bellows operator immersed in the fluid of a coolant system. The bellows operator expands in response to changes above a predetermined temperature or below a predetermined pressure to complete a signal circuit and energize a signal means.
