    Abstract: An encased electrical assembly includes a housing, a printed circuit board (PCB) and a cover. The housing includes a plurality of receiving apertures and the PCB includes a plurality of securing apertures shaped to receive a conductive fastener for securing the PCB to the housing. The PCB includes a plurality of conductive traces with two of the conductive traces having first ends electrically connected to a different one of two electrical contacts that are electrically accessible from outside the housing and second ends routed to different ones of the securing apertures. Each of the remaining conductive traces are routed between a different pair of the securing apertures such that when each of the securing apertures receives a secured conductive fastener, continuity is achieved between all of the conductive traces. The cover, when attached to the housing, obscures at least one of the conductive fasteners. However, the presence of the conductive fasteners can be determined by performing a continuity check between the two electrical contacts.

    Abstract: A rubber valve plate is sandwiched between a stator and a cover. Ports in the stator for coupling to a vacuum source and vacuum motors are aligned with poppets molded in the valve plate. A manifold in the plate joins regions surrounding the valves to couple the vacuum source to all the valves. Openings in the cover plate allow a dome of each poppet to protrude. A rotary actuator adjacent the cover is configured to selectively engage the domes to actuate certain poppets which are moved against the stator to close the port to vacuum or are allowed to move toward the cover to connect the port to vacuum.

    Abstract: A gear and a rack attached to the gear periphery are molded in one piece. A housing recess contains the gear and a channel accommodates the rack so that, as the gear is turned by a knob, the rack is driven by the gear so that it wraps or unwraps about the gear and a free end of the rack moves along the channel. The channel is linear or curved to determine the direction of motion of the free end. A cable or other device is controlled by the free end of the rack.
