US Patent:

7931401, Apr 26, 2011

Filed:

Feb 20, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/389739

Inventors:

Ronald N. Landis - Bellville OH, US
Robert J. Sparks - Bellville OH, US
Jeffrey T. Norris - Lexington OH, US

Assignee:

Stoneridge Control Devices, Inc. - Canton MA

International Classification:

G01K 7/00
G01K 9/00

US Classification:

374208, 374163, 374183

Abstract:

A temperature sensor including a housing and a temperature sensing element at least partially disposed in the housing. A particulate media, which may include a blend of differently sized particles, is disposed in the housing and at least partially surrounds the temperature sensing element. The particulate media may entrain oxygen to avoid a reducing atmosphere in said housing.

Appl. No.:

13/019202

Inventors:

Robert J. Sparks - Bellville OH, US
Douglas I. Obenour - Bellville OH, US
Ronald N. Landis - Bellville OH, US

Assignee:

STONERIDGE, INC. - Warren OH

International Classification:

F02D 28/00
G01K 7/16
G01K 1/08

US Classification:

701102, 374183, 374208, 374E01011, 374E07018

Abstract:

A temperature sensor includes a housing and a temperature sensing element disposed in the housing. Electrical connections may extend from the temperature sensing element through the housing and an epoxy may be disposed in the housing, wherein the epoxy may at least partially around the temperature sensing element. The epoxy may provide a thermal pathway between the sensing element and the housing and may be being flexible to accommodate different rates of thermal expansion between the temperature sensing element and the electrical connections without requiring a separate mechanical strain relief. A temperature sensor system includes a temperature sensor and a mineral insulated cable coupled to the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor may be configured to be removably coupled to the mineral insulated cable via a stop flange and a sleeve coupled to the mineral insulated cable. The sleeve may be configured to provide stability and reduce vibrational stress to the temperature sensor system.

Appl. No.:

13/227424

Inventors:

Ken Kubasek - Mansfield OH, US
Ronald N. Landis - Bellville OH, US

International Classification:

G01K 1/08

US Classification:

374144, 374208, 374E01011

Abstract:

A sensor configured to detect exhaust gas temperature of an exhaust, the sensor including a housing and a sensing element at least partially disposed within the housing. A filler material, including a first media and at least one additional media, is disposed within the housing and at least partially surrounds the sensing element. The first media is configured to be stable in reducing atmospheres up to 800 C. and in oxidizing atmospheres up to 850 C. and the second media is configured to provide oxygen storage capacity and enhance chemical stability and/or oxygen entrapment.

Assignee:

STONERIDGE, INC. - Warren OH

International Classification:

G01K 13/02
F01D 17/08

US Classification:

374144, 374208

Abstract:

A temperature sensor system includes a temperature sensor, a cable having an end coupled to the temperature sensor, and a stop flange coupled to the cable. The temperature sensor system further includes a vibration reducing and/or modifying sleeve positioned against the stop flange. The sleeve includes a body portion defining a through passage configured to receive and retain at least a portion of the cable. The sleeve is configured to provide stability and reduce vibrational stress to the temperature sensor system. The sleeve is configured to be added to the temperature sensor system during assembly of the system and/or to be added after the temperature sensor system is fully assembled.
