Patent number: 11949287Abstract: This disclosure provides a consolidated electric motor stator lamination for multiple enclosure types such that a single stator assembly can be used for different classifications of an electric motor. Each layer of the stator lamination includes external features that, when combined with the external features of the other layers in the lamination, can be adapted to conform the electric motor to one of a plurality of enclosure types. The external features include retaining features for one or more covers, fins, and a profile configured to accept cooling tubes. In various embodiments, a single consolidated stator lamination assembly can be adapted to provide a motor having at least two of an open-drip proof (ODP), a totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC), or a totally enclosed water cooled (TEWC) enclosure classification.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: ABB Schweiz AGInventors: William E.

Patent number: 8952700Abstract: A method and system is provided for minimizing delays in a magnetic ranging method. Delays are minimized by establishing synchronicity between triggering of a three-axis magnetometer and energization of a solenoid assembly deployed in the borehole being drilled and the first borehole, respectively. Synchronicity enables measuring various components of the alternating magnetic field created by energization of the solenoid assembly by the magnetometer, the moment the solenoid assembly is energized. The recorded components are used for computation of steering data for drilling the second borehole relative to the first borehole. The steering data can be determined at the surface or downhole.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2011Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Precision Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Macmillan M Wisler, Robert A Aiello, Tommy L Binford, Jr., Harry M Collins, James D Elmore, John D Martin

Patent number: 8857452Abstract: A spray device for cleaning residue from a filter member. In one embodiment, the spray device includes a tubular stem telescopically slideable in a sleeve. A coil spring surrounds the stem and resists movement of the stem out of the sleeve. A tubular halo with nozzles is fastened to the end of the tubular stem so that when a pressurized fluid is applied to the stem, the stem is forced out of the sleeve against the spring force, thereby causing the halo to travel along a cylindrical filter surface. The pressurized fluid is also jetted from the nozzles and cleans the cylindrical surface. When the pressurized fluid is removed from the spray device, the spring retracts the stem and the halo back to a rest position. In another embodiment, the halo is replaced with a nozzle head that moves within a cylindrical filter surface to be cleaned.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2009Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Inventor: John D.

Patent number: 8479424Abstract: A sign for the displaying of a number of characters in either a first orientation or at least one additional orientation. The sign includes a frame and a series of characters, including at least one variable position character, mounted to the frame. The variable position character is movable relative to the frame such that it may be read in different positions, to display a message when the variable position character is either in a first orientation or a second orientation. The variable position character may be interconnected with the frame via a pivoting mechanism for adjusting the orientation of the variable position character. The pivoting mechanism may include a latching mechanism that secures the variable position character in a selected orientation. The characters may each include a source of illumination, such as LEDs, that are interconnected with a power supply for selectively illuminating the LEDs.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2010Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: C-M GLO, Inc.Inventors: John D.

Patent number: 8449142Abstract: A lighted sign or lighting fixture includes a housing that contains a series of LEDs. The housing has a pair of side walls and a series of spaced apart reinforcing members that extend between and interconnect the side walls. The reinforcing members may be formed integrally with the side walls, or may be in the form of separate members that are securely attached to the side walls. An LED mounting structure, such as a PCB, may be attached to the reinforcing members, or alternatively a separate bottom wall may be secured to the reinforcing members.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2010Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: C-M Glo, LLCInventors: John D. Martin, Aaron W. Smith

Patent number: 8449140Abstract: A lighting arrangement using LEDs that has an elongated translucent diffuser having a flat upper surface along the length of the diffuser. The transverse cross-section of the elongate translucent diffuser may have various shapes, all having substantially flat tops, including but not limited to quadrangular, rectangular, trapezoidal, and non-isosceles variations of these shapes. The elongated translucent diffuser is mounted on an elongated housing of substantially the same length to support the diffuser. The elongated housing may be solid or hollow and may contain the LEDs and circuit board, or the LEDs and circuit board may be contained within the elongated translucent diffuser. The LEDs are configured to transmit light through the diffuser so that the emitted light simulates light from a traditional neon tube.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2010Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: C-M Glo, LLCInventors: John D.

Patent number: 7900571Abstract: A buoy is provided with first and second fixed hydrodynamic surfaces (15,16). When the buoy is towed through water by a tether (17), the first hydrodynamic surface (15) generates a downward force that reduces with increased speed through the water. The second hydrodynamic surface (16) generates an upward force that increases with increased speed through the water so that the buoy dives up to an upper critical speed through the water speed and rises beyond said upper critical speed through the water. The downward force of the first hydrodynamic surface (15) overcomes the buoyancy of the buoy at a lower critical speed through the water above, which the buoy dives. The hydrodynamic surface (15) comprises first fins (15) mounted on an outer casing (1) of the buoy and are spaced angularity and extend parallel to the center axis of the buoy which is substantially aligned with the direction of towing.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2006Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Ultra Electronics LimitedInventors: Barry N.

Patent number: 7655151Abstract: A fluid treatment and media management device having concentric inner and outer perforated cylinders defining a chamber therebetween for containing a media. A case surrounds the perforated cylinders and forms an annular space between the case and the outer perforated cylinder. Respective end caps engage the opposite ends of the case and perforated cylinders to support such members. One or both of the end caps provide ports to the central core of the inner perforated cylinder, to the media chamber and to the annular space. The media can be removed from the fluid treatment and media management device without disassembly of the device for the purpose of disposal and/or regeneration of the media.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2004Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Inventor: John D.

Patent number: 7600660Abstract: The present disclosure provides a harness adjustment system that may be used in various applications including backpacks, windsurf harnesses, kite-board harnesses, mountain climbing harnesses, utility harnesses, backpack shoulder straps, tie-down straps, and various belts for numerous applications. The harness adjustment system includes a first webbing strap, a winding reel, a cable tension member, and a strap lock. The winding reel is secured to a first portion of the strap. The cable is interconnected between a second portion of the strap and the winding reel. The cable loops from the strap to the reel such that winding of the reel retracts the cable to pull the second portion of the strap toward the first portion. The lock is coupled to the first strap second portion. The lock is selectively engageable with the second portion of the strap to relieve tension from the cable. Both cam and plate locks are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2004Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Inventors: Raymond Nevin Kasper, John D. Martin
