摘要： Enhanced fluid filtration methods, systems, and techniques are disclosed that can leverage the function of a supplemental pump in combination with the existing components of a machine, such as the main pump of an electrically-powered machine with an engine. In various embodiments, a supplemental filter apparatus may be operatively associated with the supplemental pump to provide filtration of fluid flowing through the machine. A control module may be operatively associated with the supplemental pump and/or various components of the machine. The control module may be programmed to activate or deactivate the supplemental pump, a valve, or take other actions in association with detecting the existence of one or more filter triggering conditions.

摘要： An engine pump is provided which operates with an internal combustion engine or as a supplemental pump or as used in a stand alone device, and includes an internal vent for improved pump and motor durability. The pump is operably and sealably connected to a motor and adapted for connection with a source of fluid and a discharge means. An internal vent is positioned in between an armature shaft of bore along an inlet port thereby decreasing the pressure in the area of the seal. Alternatively, a valve is positioned between the inlet and outlet ports to selectively permit fluid pumped between the inlet and outlet ports to pass through when the outlet port is flow restricted.

摘要： A protective cover for protecting inner surfaces of cookware includes a non-selfsupporting surface that substantially overlies the inner surfaces. The protective cover may also include a handle portion attached to the non-selfsupporting surface that defines a handle opening for receiving a handle of the cookware and securing the protective cover to the cookware. Alternatively, the protective cover may include a non-selfsupporting enclosure defining an opening for receiving the cookware and protecting the inner surfaces and the outer surfaces of the cookware by substantially overlying the inner and outer surfaces thereof. A closure assembly for closing the opening of the non-selfsupporting enclosure is also included.

摘要： The present invention pertains to a multi-stage solenoid in a housing having a first set of electrical contacts and at least a second set of electrical contacts. The solenoid also has at least two coil windings electrically distinct from each other and disposed sequentially in the housing. Additionally, the solenoid uses a timing circuit separately connected through a first set of contacts to each of the coil windings to control when they each receive electricity thereby activating the corresponding magnetically responsive element. The solenoid also uses a plunger having a flange of an electrically conducting material. The plunger is disposed in an original position in the housing in contact with one of the magnetically responsive elements. When electricity is received by the coil windings associated with that magnetically responsive element, the flange of the plunger moves from its original position and into contact with the second set of electrical contacts such that electricity flows therebetween via the flange. At the same time, a different coil winding and its associated magnetic element can be electrically activated by the timing circuit to cause a mechanical displacement in that magnetic element which causes the activation of another device. Thus, the solenoid of the present invention can cause either only an electrical connection to be formed or a combined electrical connection and mechanical displacement.

摘要翻译： 本发明涉及一种具有第一组电触点和至少第二组电触头的壳体中的多级螺线管。 螺线管还具有至少两个彼此电气不同并且依次设置在壳体中的线圈绕组。 此外，螺线管使用通过第一组触点分别连接到每个线圈绕组的定时电路，以控制它们何时接收电，从而激活相应的磁响应元件。 螺线管还使用具有导电材料的凸缘的柱塞。 柱塞被布置在壳体中的原始位置，与其中一个磁响应元件接触。 当与该磁响应元件相关联的线圈绕组接收电时，柱塞的凸缘从其初始位置移动并与第二组电触点接触，使得电经由凸缘流动。 同时，不同的线圈绕组及其相关联的磁性元件可以被定时电路电激活，从而导致该磁性元件的机械位移，这导致另一个器件的激活。 因此，本发明的螺线管可以仅导致形成电连接或组合的电连接和机械位移。
