Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100139949SPLICE WIRE HOLDER - A device for maintaining the separation and position of spliced wires within a mold is provided. The device is characterized by multiple pointed portions which extend radially outward to a tip. The portions between the tips are radially depressed, with holes placed near the radially innermost point of the outer surface of the device. The holes are incomplete due to notches on the radially outermost portion of the holes which allow wires to be pressed into the holes in a radially inward direction. The device, with wires mounted therein, may be placed into an injection mold and maintains the separation of the exposed conductors until the over-molding process is complete. The device also prevents the wires from touching the edge of the mold during the injection process thereby minimizing any show-through defects in the finished product.06-10-2010

20090079445ISOLATED FUEL SENSOR - A fuel sensor includes a cylindrical, one-piece plastic body that has an inlet, an outlet and a fuel passage in between. The body further includes three sensing, thin-walled plate holders that extend from the cylindrical body into and across the fuel passage. Three parallel sensing plates are disposed in the holders for use in forming a pair of parallel plate devices. The thin-walled plate holders surrounding the plates provide isolation of the plates from contact with the fuel. The body also includes a cavity to house a printed circuit board (PCB), which includes signal processing circuitry. The PCB is also isolated from exposure to the fuel. The sensing plates have leads that extend into the cavity for connection to the PCB. An interface connector for connection to an engine controller is also provided. The sensor achieves isolation from exposure to fuel without the use of any coatings.03-26-2009
20090153154FUEL SENSOR - A sensing apparatus for determining a property of a fuel such as a gasoline and ethanol blend known as flex fuel includes an acetal plastic tube with an inlet, an outlet and a fuel passage in between. One property of the fuel is a dielectric constant. A pair of sensing plates are placed on opposite sides of the tube leaving the fuel passage unobstructed. A processing circuit on a printed circuit board (PCB) is located near to and is connected with the sensing plates. The circuit applies an excitation signal, senses a capacitance, and generates an output signal indicative of a property of the fuel. The sensed capacitance will increase with increasing concentration of ethanol in the fuel flowing through the passage. A shield for reducing EMI surrounds and encloses the sensing plates and the PCB. An interface connector allows the sensing apparatus to output the capacitance indicative signal to an engine controller or the like.06-18-2009

20090052852Holey fiber taper with selective transmission for fiber optic sensors and method for manufacturing the same - Large-mode-area single material holey fiber tapers with collapsed by nonadiabatic process air holes in the waist for fiber optic sensors and a method for manufacturing these tapers are claimed. The gradual collapsing of the holes is achieved by tapering the fibers with a “slow-and-hot” method. This nonadiabatic process makes the fundamental mode of the holey fiber to couple to multiple modes of the solid taper waist. Owing to the beating between the modes, the transmission spectra of the tapered single material holey fibers exhibit several interference peaks. That means the all-fiber Mach-Zehnder type interferometer is formed in a holey fiber such a way. The multiple peaks, combined with a fitting algorithm, allow high-accuracy refractometric measurements, temperature-independent strain measurements, measurements of high temperature and may be used for measuring many others parameters.02-26-2009

20090170940Modified ethyl formate compositions and methods for soil fumigation - Slow-flow, modified ethyl formate compositions and methods for their use as pre-plant soil fumigants (controlling nematodes and other pathogens) are provided. The modifications include adding to ethyl formate a viscosity modifying thickening agent, and one or more substances which function as a co-solvent and dilution agent (the co-solvent and dilution may or may not be the same). The thickening agent increases the viscosity thereby slowing its flow or rate of transport through the soil. The co-solvent functions as the primary solvent for the viscosity modifying thickening agent. The dilution agent does two things. First, it is used to reduce the partial vapor pressure of the ethyl formate in the formulation, thereby slowing its evaporation rate. Second, it also slows the rate and amount of decomposition of the ethyl formate. The SFMEF compositions and methods do not have harmful ozone-depleting side effects and break down into two naturally-occurring, environmentally-friendly components. Thus they are useful as replacements for methyl bromide and other known ozone-depleting and/or highly toxic soil fumigants.07-02-2009

20100132431METHOD FOR TESTING AND CALIBRATING A CAPACITIVE FLEX FUEL SENSOR - A method for calibrating a flex fuel sensing apparatus having a fuel passage involves the use of a generally solid test blank having a size and shape configured to match that of the fuel passage. The test blank comprises material having a known, predetermined dielectric constant. The test blank is inserted into the fuel passage where the dielectric constant of the test blank is operative to simulate the presence of various gasoline and ethanol fuel blends. The test blank may also comprise a deformable/compressible solid such as rubber where the test blank is compressed during calibration to eliminate air gaps or the like, improving accuracy. The use of the solid test blank reduces complexity compared to using actual gasoline/ethanol blends for calibration as well as reduces post-calibration cleanup.06-03-2010
20100145640SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRICAL PARAMETER ESTIMATION - A method is provided for estimating an electrical parameter of a circuit-under-test (e.g., resistance, capacitance and/or inductance). The method acquires samples during a plurality of charging cycles rather than during just one, which allows an extended overall time period to acquire such samples. The first step involves defining a major sampling period having a plurality of minor sampling periods. A number of steps are performed for each minor sampling period: applying an excitation signal to the circuit-under-test to produce a respective induced, response signal and acquiring a respective sample of the induced signal at a respective predetermined deferral time. In an embodiment where the circuit-under-test includes an unknown capacitance, the excitation signal may be a unit step while an increase in the induced signal is governed by a charging time constant, which itself is indicative of the unknown capacitive. The electrical parameter may be determined based on the acquired samples, which collectively constitute a composite response. The composite response is processed, for example, by fitting it to a normalized capacitive charging curve, to ascertain an estimate of the unknown capacitive.06-10-2010
