A tilt sensor contains a first electrically conductive element, a second electrically conductive element, an electrically insulative element, and a plurality of electrically conductive weights. The electrically insulative element is connected to the first electrically conductive element and the second electrically conductive element. In addition, the plurality of electrically conductive weights are located within a cavity of the tilt sensor, wherein the cavity is defined by at least one surface of the first electrically conductive element, at least one surface of the electrically insulative element, and at least one surface of the second electrically conductive element.

Tilt sensor and method of providing the same

A sensor contains a first electrically conductive element, a second electrically conductive element, and an electrically insulative element connected to the first electrically conductive element and the second electrically conductive element. The sensor also contains a plurality of electrically conductive weights located within a cavity of the sensor, wherein the cavity is defined by at least one surface of the first electrically conductive element, at least one surface of the electrically insulative element, and at least one surface of the second electrically conductive element.

Omnidirectional tilt and vibration sensor

An omni-directional tilt and vibration sensor contains a first electrically conductive element, a second electrically conductive element, and an electrically insulative element. The electrically insulative element is connected to the first electrically conductive element and the second electrically conductive element, where at least a portion of the first electrically conductive element and at least a portion of the second electrically conductive element are located within the electrically insulative element. A plurality of electrically conductive weights are located within a cavity of the sensor, wherein the cavity is defined by at least one surface of the first electrically conductive element, at least one surface of the electrically insulative element, and at least one surface of the second electrically conductive element.

An omnidirectional tilt and vibration sensor contains a first electrically conductive element, a second electrically conductive element, an electrically insulative element, and multiple electrically conductive weights. The first electrically conductive element has a first diameter on a proximate portion of the first electrically conductive element and a second diameter on a distal portion of the first electrically conductive element, where the second diameter is smaller than the first diameter. The second electrically conductive element is similar to the first. In addition, the electrically insulative element is connected to the first electrically conductive element and the second electrically conductive element. The electrically conductive weights are located within a cavity of the sensor, wherein the cavity is defined by surface of the first electrically conductive element, the electrically insulative element, and the second electrically conductive element.

A conveying apparatus for sequentially feeding a plurality of stacked carrier members to an assembly area. The conveying apparatus comprises a first bin for storing a desired quantity of stackable carrier members and the first bin has an outlet for sequentially discharging a carrier member therefrom. A feed mechanism communicating with the outlet of the first bin, and the feed mechanism facilitating individual feeding of the carrier members, in a sequential manner, from said first bin toward the assembly area. A conveyor mechanism, communicating with the outlet of the first bin, for receiving one carrier member, fed by the feed mechanism, and for conveying the carrier member to the assembly area where a plurality of components can be either retrieved from the carrier member to manufacture a desired product or loaded on the carrier member for later manufacture of a desired product. A second bin for collecting each of the carrier members, returned by the conveyor mechanism from the assembly area, is provided and a transfer assembly for transferring each of the carrier members returned by the conveyor mechanism from the assembly area to the second bin is also provided.
