20110025581 | ANTENNA ASSEMBLY - An antenna configured so as to use a transmitting or receiving element as the center conductor of a connector interface, which can connect to other connectors such as coaxial cable connectors. In one embodiment, the antenna comprises an antenna body that has an antenna connector configured as a reverse polarity connector. The reverse polarity connector comprises features which can position the transmitting or receiving element in direct contact with the center conductor of a mating cable. | 02-03-2011 |
20120206316 | ANTENNA SEAL ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - An antenna and method of making the same is disclosed wherein the antenna includes a seal assembly comprising a seal plate to prevent material used to form a seal around the conductor element from entering into the air gap of the antenna body. | 08-16-2012 |
20120320945 | ROBUST MEDIA SEALING TEMPERATURE PROBE - A robust media sealing temperature probe is provided and includes a tubular member having a closed end and an open end opposite the closed end, an annular seal formed about the tubular member, a probe having a temperature sensing element and a signal conductive assembly coupled to the temperature sensing element, the probe being secured within the tubular member with the temperature sensing element proximate to the closed end and the signal conductive assembly extending through the open end and a housing formed to encapsulate the seal about the tubular member with the closed end and a portion of the signal conductive assembly exposed at an exterior of the housing. | 12-20-2012 |
20120325513 | CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY HAVING STRAIN RELIEF FEATURE - A connector assembly is provided having a cable having an outer jacket and inner shield, a cable clamp connected to the cable, and an eyelet. The eyelet has an elongated portion and flange. The flange includes a flange surface near the cable clamp to longitudinally position the eyelet relative to the cable. At least a portion of the elongated portion of the eyelet is crimped to the outer jacket of the cable to substantially prevent relative rotation between the cable and the eyelet. | 12-27-2012 |
20140102384 | SENSOR ATTACHMENT METHOD INCORPORATING LOCKING RETENTION FEATURE THAT WILL ONLY ENGAGE WHEN THE DEVICE IS PROPERLY INSTALLED - A sensor assembly, which may be part of an engine cooling system, senses a condition within an enclosed volume. The sensor assembly includes a mounting structure projecting from a wall of the enclosed volume. The mounting structure includes an opening extending from an exterior of the mounting structure towards the wall and at least one channel extending along an exterior of the mounting structure. The sensor assembly further includes a connector having a sensing portion for sensing the condition within the enclosed volume. A seal seals the enclosed volume at the extension of the connector through the opening. A retaining device has at least one attachment structure that is insertable into the at least one channel. The attachment structure engages the connector such that the connector is non-removable from the mounting structure. An associated method provides the sensor assembly. | 04-17-2014 |
20140137645 | FLUID LEVEL SENSOR SYSTEM AND METHOD - A fluid level sensor system includes a thermal path component disposed at least partially within a fluid containing volume, the thermal path component including a heat source operably coupled thereto and a control temperature sensor for sensing a control temperature of the thermal path component. Also included is a reference temperature sensor for sensing a reference ambient temperature. Further included is a controller in operable communication with the control temperature sensor, the heat source and the reference temperature sensor, wherein the controller maintains a predetermined temperature difference between the control temperature and the reference ambient temperature by controlling the heat source, wherein an energy level required to maintain the predetermined temperature difference is converted to a fluid level within the fluid containing volume. | 05-22-2014 |
20140145818 | THERMISTOR AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING A THERMISTOR - A method of constructing a thermistor includes forming a semiconductor ceramic substrate. The method also includes coating a surface of the substrate with contact material and applying a solder mask on the contact material. The applying includes applying the solder mask to one or more portions of the contact material to leave an exposed area without the solder mask and a masked area with the solder mask. The method includes trimming the contact material at the masked area to adjust a resistance of the thermistor. | 05-29-2014 |
20140230545 | SENSOR AND METHOD OF MAKING A SENSOR - A sensor having a metal housing that encloses a sensing device. An end of the housing is crimped, and an overmolding covers the crimped edge and extends from the crimped edge away from the housing. | 08-21-2014 |
