摘要： A sensor includes a sensing element, a first pair of lead wires, a second pair of lead wires, a grommet, and a shell. The first pair of lead wires is fixed to the sensing element and configured to receive signals from the sensing element. The second pair of lead wires is electrically connected to the first pair of lead wires at a joint. The second pair of lead wires is configured to receive signals from the first pair of lead wires. The grommet houses the joint, a portion of the first pair of lead wires, and a portion of the second pair of lead wires. The shell houses the sensing element, the first pair of lead wires, and the grommet. The shell engages and deforms the grommet to seal an interior space defined by the shell.

摘要： Provided is a pellet composition having enhanced thermal stability for use in a thermally-actuated, current cutoff device. The solid thermal pellet composition comprises an organic compound have low ionization potential, such as dibenzosuberenone. The solid pellet maintains its structural rigidity up to a transition temperature (Tf), but further has improved overshoot temperature ranges. Therefore, the improved thermal pellets have a maximum dielectric capability temperature (Tcap), above which the pellet composition may lose substantial dielectric properties and conducts current that is at least 160° C. greater than the Tf. The aging performance is further enhanced. Further, methods of enhanced processing and pelletizing are provided.

摘要： A thermo-anemometer-type fluid flow sensor and a method associated with quickly determining whether the sensor has been installed in an improper orientation relative to the direction of fluid flowing through a system. The flow sensor comprises a detection module adapted to change condition in response to the direction of fluid flowing through the system. A control module is connected to the probe and is capable of determining the installation orientation of a probe of the sensor. An I/O module is connected to the control module to provide a means for communicating the output of the control module to another device and/or user.

摘要： A low-profile temperature sensor probe is disclosed as including a probe circuit subassembly having a temperature sensing thermistor, the subassembly being overmolded with a durable insulating material to form the probe body. The probe body forms a connector block portion and a flexible extension portion. The flexible extension portion enables the sensor probe to conform to the surface of the object to be sensed without undue strain on the components. The thermistor element is located in a protective pocket and positioned relative the probe body to ensure direct contact with the object to be sensed. The connector block is configured to accommodate a standard plug-in type electrical connector.

摘要： A multi-function sensor is disclosed which provides a reliable and simple device for accurately measuring and/or monitoring the ambient conditions within a container or the like, such as the level of a fluid, the turbidity of a fluid, the temperature of a fluid or surrounding environment and the ambient pressure. The sensor incorporates a fluid level sensor module, a turbidity sensor module, a temperature sensor module and a pressure sensor module. The fluid level sensor module utilizes a plurality of thermocouple junctions grouped in pairs with the pairs being spaced along a line extending generally in the direction in which the liquid level may vary. The thermocouple junctions are connected in series and produce a signal indicative of the level of liquid along the sensor. A turbidity sensor module is also integrally included on the multi-function sensor. Additionally, temperature and pressure sensor modules may also be incorporated in the multi-function sensor. Alternatively, a fluid flow rate sensor module may be included in place of the liquid level sensor module.
