Abstract: A permanent magnet carrier, which could be a rotor or stator of an electric machine, includes a first non-magnetic ring and a second non-magnetic ring. Between the rings are soft magnetic pole elements. The soft magnetic pole elements each connect to the first and second non-magnetic rings and the soft magnetic pole elements are separated from each other by the first and second non-magnetic rings. Permanent magnets are disposed between the soft magnetic pole elements.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure relate to a blind flange and a method of installing same for isolating hazardous energy in order to provide a safe environment for workers to conduct maintenance or repair work on a facility. The blind flange has a body that defines one or more modified bores. The one or more modified bores are alignable with flanged-connection apertures of one side of a flanged connection. The one or more modified bores are configured to receive and releasably hold a connection member therein, so as to connect to only one side of the flanged connection. The modified bores allow a blind flanged-connection to be disassembled and reassemble in less time than known blind flanged-connections when one side of the blind flanged-connection is disconnected from the blind flanged-connection. Furthermore, the blind flange of the present disclosure allows the blind flange to remain connected to one side of a flanged connection while the other side is disconnected.

Abstract: An interposer lead provides a connection between an integrated circuit and a circuit board. The interposer lead includes a first leg for interfacing with the circuit board. The interposer lead also includes a second leg disposed generally parallel to the first leg for interfacing with an IC electrical lead extending from the integrated circuit. A connecting portion operatively connects the first leg and the second leg. The interposer lead further includes a lip extending non-parallel from the second leg for limiting movement of the IC electrical lead on the second leg.

Abstract: An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a chassis configured to house electronics. The chassis of an electronic device may include a first rail and a second rail substantially parallel to the first rail. The first rail and the second rail may be coupled to the chassis. The first rail may have a first cutout and a second cutout. The second rail may include a third cutout and a fourth cutout. The invention according may also include a housing. This housing may be configured to be removably coupled to the chassis. The housing may include a first side having a first protrusion and a second protrusion. The housing may also include a second side having a third protrusion and a fourth protrusion. The first recess may be configured to receive one of the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The second recess may be configured to receive one of the third protrusion and the fourth protrusion.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention relates to the protection of electronic displays and includes a guard configured to protect a lighting means while providing an expanded field of view. The guard may include a first element and a second element each having at least a top surface and a wall. The lighting means may be positionable substantially between the first element and the second element such that the top surface of the lighting means is below the first top surface and the second top surface to protect the lighting means from incidental impact. A gap between the first and second elements provides a field of view. The field of view may include a substantially orthogonal line of sight to one side surface of the lighting means.
