Abstract: A control module for a high power motor includes a mounting frame made up of thermally-conductive material including a bottom wall and four side walls; a circuit board disposed within the side walls of the mounting frame; power switches configured as an inverter circuit oriented in two arrays mounted on opposite surfaces of the circuit board; an auxiliary circuit board extending substantially perpendicularly from the circuit board; capacitors mounted on the auxiliary circuit board with a long axis thereof extending parallel to the circuit board and away from the power switches; and connectors mounted between an edge of the circuit board and distal ends of the capacitors.

Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing a mixture of mutually reactive liquids, such as a hardenable plastic foam, comprises a metal housing with a plastic mixing chamber disposed in the housing and having a bore therethrough in which a purging rod reciprocates to clean reactive mixture from the bore. The reactive liquids are separately introduced into the bore through the mixing chamber via valve assemblies whose metal housings extend through the plastic mixing chamber and terminate at the bore. The purging rod retracts rearwardly into a scraper that is immediately behind the inlet openings for the liquids, the scraper being disposed in a recess in the rear of the plastic mixing chamber. The plastic mixing chamber is compressed rearwardly, so that it seals against the valve housings and the scraper. Also, the valve housings have a crush fit with the plastic of the mixing chamber, to augment the seal.
