Electromechanical relay constructions comprise an external housing, a pair of switchable electrical contacts disposed within the housing, an element for activating the pair of electrical contacts, and a temperature sensing element disposed within the housing adjacent the electrical contracts. The temperature sensing element provides a signal for determining the temperature within the relay housing. The relay may comprise two or more temperature sensing elements disposed within the housing a desired distance from one another. The temperature sensing element may be attached to a member or substrate disposed within the housing, may be attached to an existing internal structure of the housing, or may be attached to one of the contacts. The temperature sensing element may be selected from the group consisting of resistance temperature detectors, negative temperature coefficient thermistors, thermopile sensors, thermocouples, and combinations thereof.

A measuring assembly for measuring a temperature and a voltage includes a contact element including a temperature sensor and an electrically conductive portion, a voltage measurement conductor electrically connected to the conductive portion of the contact element, and an electrically conductive fixation element electrically connected to the conductive portion of the contact element, the electrically conductive fixation element extending through a fixation hole of a busbar in a fixed state to connect to the busbar by an elastic force provided by the electrically conductive fixation element in the fixed state, and the electrically conductive fixation element pressing the contact element to a measuring surface of the busbar by the elastic force in the fixed state.

A method for estimating load weights for a work vehicle including a boom pivotably coupled to the chassis of the work vehicle at a boom joint and an implement pivotably coupled to the boom at an implement joint may include receiving an input indicative of a tilt force associated with a tilt cylinder configured to pivot the implement about the implement joint, and an input indicative of a lift force associated with a lift cylinder configured to pivot the boom about the boom joint. The method may further include determining a torque about the implement joint caused by the load based on the tilt force and determining a torque about the boom joint caused by the load based on the lift and tilt forces. Additionally, the method may include estimating a weight of the load based on the torques about the boom and implement joints.

A method for detecting battery condition by monitoring air pressure and temperature both before and during the use of a sealed electronic device. A first air pressure is obtained before the device is powered on. A second air pressure is obtained during use of the device. A value of variations between readings is determined, and if the variation value in air pressure is greater than a preset value, an alarm is generated. An electronic device and a non-transitory storage medium are also provided.

An evaluation method for residual hydrocarbon of post- to over-mature marine source rocks includes the following steps: establishing a hydrocarbon generation potential evolution profile and a hydrogen index evolution profile of post- to over-mature source rocks; determining a critical condition for hydrocarbon expulsion of the source rocks, and inverting original hydrocarbon generation potential of the source rocks; inverting a critical condition for hydrocarbon generation of the source rocks; establishing a hydrocarbon generation, expulsion and retention model for the source rocks; determining a hydrocarbon generation rate, a hydrocarbon expulsion rate and a hydrocarbon retention rate of the source rocks; and calculating a hydrocarbon retention intensity and residual hydrocarbon of the source rocks. The evaluation method establishes an evaluation model for residual hydrocarbon of post- to over-mature source rocks without relying on immature to sub-mature samples.
