A battery cell connector for use with an external device. In an aspect, the battery cell connector comprises a body with at least three layers, configured to simultaneously provide improved weldability and conductivity. In the same aspect, the battery cell connector comprises a terminal connected to the terminal arm of the body of the cell connector and a voltage transmitting component connected to said terminal, wherein the voltage transmitting component is configured to connect to an external device on the opposing end.

Clad battery connector system

A touch sensor system. The touch sensor system may include a touch sensor configured to provide an output in response to contact with a touch area, a controller coupled to the touch sensor and configured to provide a code representative of the output and a memory coupled to the controller. The memory may be configured to receive and store the code in a first time interval and to provide the code in a second time interval wherein the second time interval begins after the first time interval ends. Adjacent key suppression algorithms are also provided.

Touch sensor system with memory

A touch sensor assembly. The touch sensor assembly may include a housing, at least one touch sensor and a sensor cover. The sensor cover may identify a touch area associated with each touch sensor. The housing may form a water tight cavity for the sensor cover and the touch sensor when coupled to an housing cover. A raised dome may be provided, e.g. on the sensor cover or another element, to provided tactile feed back. LEDs may be provided for illuminating the touch areas and/or sensing ambient light. A controller may control the illumination level of the LEDs in response to sensed ambient light. Adjacent key suppression algorithms are also provided.

Touch sensor system

Touch sensor system and method

A hermetic motor protector ( ) has a non-current carrying snap-acting thermostatic disc ( ) freely disposed on a disc seat ( ) having a tab ( ) projecting through a centrally located aperture ( ) in the disc. An outer peripheral portion of the disc is received under a leg ( ) of the bracket limiting upward motion of the disc at that location and causing the disc to act as a lever pivoting about the disc seat ( ) as a fulcrum so that the outer peripheral portion of the disc diametrically opposite to leg ( ) engages a motion transfer bump ( ) formed on a movable contact arm cantilever mounted on leg ( ) when the disc snaps from its normally contacts engaged configuration to its opposite dished contacts open configuration when the disc is heated to its actuation temperature by a heater element ( ) along with heat conducted from a motor with which the protector is used.
