摘要： Nickel-ruthenium-based ternary or greater alloys, products, and methods of making and using the same include nickel at about 48 to about 71 weight % (“wt %”) of the alloy, ruthenium at about 17 to about 45 wt % of the alloy, and at least one ternary or higher addition at greater than zero to about 20 wt % of the Ni—Ru alloy. The ternary or higher addition may include gold, cobalt, chromium, copper, iridium, molybdenum, niobium, palladium, platinum, rhenium, rhodium, tantalum, vanadium, tungsten, or any combination thereof. The Ni—Ru alloy may be age-hardenable, and may exhibit a hardness greater than 500 hardness Knoop. In an embodiment, the Ni—Ru ternary or higher alloy may be used in electronic test probe applications.

摘要： A combination of materials and processing parameters have been developed for hermetic seals for electrical feedthroughs in high performance applications. A glass-ceramic forms a hermetic seal between a stainless steel shell and a platinum-nickel-based (Pt—Ni) pin alloy for electrical feedthroughs. The glass-ceramic is processed to develop a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) slightly higher than the pin alloy but lower than the stainless steel. The seal system employing the new processing conditions and Pt—Ni-based pin alloy alleviates several problems encountered in previous seal systems and improves the hermetic connector performance.

摘要： Palladium-based ternary or higher alloys include palladium at about 45-55 wt %, copper about 32-42 wt %, silver at about 8-15 wt %, rhenium at about 0-5 wt %, and optionally one or more modifying elements at up to 1.0 wt %. The alloys are age-hardenable, provide hardness in excess of 350 HK (Knoop, 100 g load), have electrical conductivities above 19.5% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), have an elevated temperature strength above 100 ksi at temperatures up to 480° F. (250° C.), and remain ductile (tensile elongation>2%) in their fully age-hardened condition. The alloys may be used in static and moveable electrical contact and probe applications.

摘要： Platinum-nickel-based ternary or higher alloys include platinum at about 65-80 wt. %, nickel at about 18-27 wt. %, and about 2-8 wt. % of ternary or higher additions that may include one or more of Ir, Pd, Rh, Ru, Nb, Mo, Re, W, and/or Ta. These alloys are age-hardenable, provide hardness greater than 580 Knoop, ultimate tensile strength in excess of 320 ksi, and elongation to failure of at least 1.5%. The alloys may be used in static and moveable electrical contact and probe applications. The alloys may also be used in medical devices.

摘要： Apparatuses and methods for fuel level sensing are described herein. An example sensor includes a sealed housing comprising a first end, a second end, and an interior defined by walls extending therebetween. The sensor includes a float surrounding an exterior of the sealed housing and is configured to move longitudinally along the sealed housing between the first end second ends. The float may include a magnetic element configured to provide a magnetic field. The sealed housing may include an electrically conductive spring coupled to at least one of the first end or the second end, and may include a ferrous element coupled to the electrically conductive spring and configured to be displaced relative to the sealed housing based on the magnetic field. The electrically conductive spring may expand and retract to adjust a resistance of the electrically conductive spring in response to the ferrous element being displaced.

摘要： Apparatuses and methods for fuel level sensing use a rotatable housing, an interior arm suspended on an axle within the housing, a counterweight joined to one end of the interior arm and a position sensor with first and second sensor elements. The sensor elements are arranged within the housing with one of the sensor elements is joined to an interior wall of the housing and the other joined to the interior arm such that the sensor elements are rotatable relative to one another. An exterior arm joined to an exterior of the housing is adapted to accommodate a float. The exterior arm slaves the rotatable housing in rotation about a rotational axis, and relative rotation of the first and second sensor elements may cause a change in a sensor output of the position sensor.

摘要： Apparatuses and methods for fuel level sensing are described herein. An example sensor may include a sealed housing and an electrically conductive coil. The sealed housing may comprise a pivot end, a float end opposite the pivot end, and an interior defined by walls extending therebetween. The pivot end may be adapted to join a pivot point and the float end may be adapted to join to a float at an exterior of the housing. The electrically conductive coil spring is disposed in the housing interior and comprises a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The coil spring is adapted to expand and retract in response to movement of the internal float within the housing and to electrically couple to a circuit configured to sense a change in resistance in the coil spring in response to expansion and retraction of windings of the coil spring.
