A sensor installation structure includes: an exterior panel provided at a side part of a vehicle; an installation surface arranged at a location recessed inward in the vehicle width direction from a general surface of the exterior panel; a connecting surface connecting between a peripheral edge of the installation surface and the general surface; and a surroundings information sensor that detects surroundings information of the vehicle and that is located inward in the vehicle width direction from the installation surface. The connecting surface, in elevating from the peripheral edge of the installation surface toward the general surface, slopes so as to extend outward in the surface direction when viewed from the installation surface.

VEHICLE BODY PANELS AND SYSTEMS HAVING EMBEDDED SENSOR OPTIONS

Vehicle body panels and systems are described. A vehicle body panel may include at least one layer of material defining the vehicle body panel and one or more than one electronic device, where a portion of each electronic device is embedded within one or more than one of the at least one layer of material. Each electronic device may communicate with a control system or a vehicle control unit of the vehicle to support an advanced-feature functionality of the vehicle. At least one electronic device may include a first portion embedded within the one or more than one of the at least one layer of material. The first portion may be couplable to a second portion, not embedded within the material, where the first portion upon being coupled to the second portion communicates with the control system or the vehicle control unit of the vehicle to support the advanced-feature functionality.

20210063213 · 2021-03-04 ·

A mountable circuit assembly is provided. The mountable circuit assembly may be a remote sensor assembly for mounting on body panel of a vehicle assembly. The assembly may include a sensor circuit, a housing and a mounting portion. The housing may include a cavity for receiving the sensor circuit. The housing may include first and second locking features. The first locking feature may be on an opposite side of a lock opening from the second locking feature. The mounting portion may be configured to lock into the body panel opening in the body panel. The mounting portion may have a post such that the first locking feature and the second locking feature engage the mounting portion inside the one or more post openings to fasten the housing to the mounting portion. The first and second locking features may be aligned to reduce deflection of the post during insertion.

A switch cabinet for an exhaust gas measurement installation includes a cabinet body with a rear wall and four laterally bounding walls which include a ceiling, a floor, a first side wall and a second side wall. A door is arranged on the cabinet body to close a front side thereof. At least one valve, measuring devices, and gas connections are arranged in the cabinet body. The gas connections extend through the walls and interact with the at least one valve. The gas connections comprise at least one first gas connection arranged in a first horizontal plane and in a first vertical plane, and at least one second gas connection arranged in a second horizontal plane in a second vertical plane. The second horizontal plane is offset with respect to the first horizontal plane. The second vertical plane is offset with respect to the first vertical plane.

SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR METER STAY

A support structure for a meter stay applied to a saddled vehicle including a top bridge coupling upper ends of a left-right pair of front forks; a handle clamp supporting a steering handle above the top bridge; and a meter stay supporting a meter device, in which a shaft member extends downwardly and is positioned on a lower surface of the handle clamp; an elastic member is disposed to abut a lower surface of the top bridge; the meter stay is placed to be in contact with a lower surface of the elastic member; and the shaft member passes through the top bridge, the elastic member, and the meter stay in this order, with a fixing member being coupled to a distal end of the shaft member.

Three point mount for a vibration sensing apparatus

A sensing module apparatus is provided for monitoring a vibrating machine or structure, such as a pump, which include three mounting points on the apparatus for securely mounting the apparatus to the vibrating machine or structure. The three-point mount configuration provides the sensor module with a very rigid mount connection to virtually any surface condition, including flat, curved or irregular. All six degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, theta-X, theta-Y and theta-Z) are properly constrained. The three-point mount also provides an air barrier or gap between the sensing module and the equipment surface, allowing the sensor to be mounted to higher surface temperature devices.

Exact Constraint Magnetic Mount for Vibration Sensing Module
20190178689 · 2019-06-13 ·

A magnetic mounting device is provided for mounting a vibrational sensor or other device to a machine or structure, and particularly a vibrating machine or structure. The magnetic mounting device includes a mount surface and a mounting base with an encapsulated magnet and including a three mounting projections projecting therefrom, which provide an exact constraint mounting of the magnetic mounting device on the vibrating machine or structure. The three-point mounting arrangement allows the magnetic mounting device to be rigidly mounted to flat, curved and irregular surfaces without requiring a specific orientation of the magnetic mounting device on the surface.

Modular Multi-Sensor Fire Detector, Adapter and Method for Simplified Installation on a Wall

A modular multi-sensor fire detector including an evaluation unit having a housing, a plurality of sensor heads, and at least one adapter. At least one of the plurality of sensor heads has at least one hazard parameter conductor with a mounting tube having a proximal end, a distal end and a securing means at the proximal end.
