  • Publication number: 20130327373
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a solar assembly comprising a frame and a plurality of solar photovoltaic laminates. The frame can substantially define a perimeter of the assembly and can comprise an elongated channel spanning an interior of at least a portion of the frame. The channel can comprise an electrical bus bar. The plurality of solar photovoltaic laminates can be positioned adjacent each other and supported and secured in place by the frame along one or more edges of the plurality of laminates. Each of the plurality of laminates can one or more bus bar leads exiting the laminate between a top encapsulate layer and a bottom encapsulate layer of the laminate on a side edge of the laminate that can be substantially adjacent a portion of the frame. Each of the bus bar leads can be electrically coupled to the bus bar.

  • Publication number: 20040227299
    Abstract: A magnetic bearing isolator assembly. The assembly comprises first and second body parts, a ferromagnetic ring and a plurality of magnets received in spaced apart pockets. The first body part has a circumferential groove for receiving a ring of a ferromagnetic material. A radially outer groove in the first body part accommodates the second body part which has an outer, frusto-conical surface which is very slightly larger than the diameter of the smaller axial surface on the first part. The first and second parts are made from a composite fluorocarbon-carbon-graphite material with substantial glass filling therein.

  • Patent number: 5399309
    Abstract: A flexible bearing for a rocket motor is constructed by forming a relatively very thin coating (about 0.01 inches thick) of an elastomer such as natural rubber on one surface at least of an equally thin continuous reinforcement strip of pliable fabric, and wrapping the coated fabric strip about an axis of rotation with a multiplicity of turns to form a laminated component comprising a continuous helical coil having aligned edges defining the transverse width thereof and having spaced top and bottom surfaces, the function of the reinforcement strip being containment of the elastomer, whereby a laminated helical coil, and hence, flexible bearing, with a given amount of elastomer contained therein for shearing, is produced with a substantially reduced dimension between the bearing top and bottom surfaces.

  • Patent number: 5356158
    Abstract: A seal for preventing leakage around a rotary shaft extending through a structural casing comprising an annular stationary rigid seal secured to the structural casing for surrounding the rotary shaft. The stationary rigid seal has a smooth sealing surface for establishing a seal, and a resilient rotary seal adapted to be secured to the rotary shaft and having an annular projecting edge for contacting the smooth sealing surface under a biased pressure to form a seal in conjunction therewith. The projecting edge is formed by the convergence of inner and outer forward surfaces. A radial surface extends to the inner concentric forward surface from a torque point at its forward cylindrical base. An outer rearward surface extends to the outer concentric forward surface from a pivot point at its rearward cylindrical base. The outer forward surface forms an angle with the central axis of the seal in a plane through the central axis of the seal of from 40.degree. to 60.degree..

  • Patent number: 5292137
    Abstract: A dry-face sealing method for preventing leakage around a rotary shaft uses an annular rigid seal having a smooth sealing surface and an annular resilient seal having a projecting sealing edge aligned coaxially therewith. The annular resilient seal has a breaking elongation of at least about 100 percent of its original length, the resilient seal being stretched at least about 20 percent and less than 40 percent of its breaking elongation in a direction substantially parallel to the smooth sealing surface to align polymeric resilient seal components in a direction parallel with the smooth sealing surface and smooth the sealing surface thereof. The projecting edge, because of its shape and position, functions as a stress concentrator, concentrating the stress hardening effect on the sealing surface of the projecting edge.
