Patent number: 11491722Abstract: An apparatus for producing a three-dimensional object by spray deposition including a powder conveyance line A arranged to channel a flow of spray material entrained in a carrier gas to a nozzle (a first flow). The apparatus also has a process line B arranged to channel a flow of gas to the nozzle (a second flow). The apparatus also has a spray nozzle. The apparatus is such that pressure and temperature parameters of the first flow are controlled in real time, but for the second flow these parameters are not controlled in real time. The two flows merge to cause spray material to be propelled from the nozzle to a substrate to create a three-dimensional object.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2018Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: EFFUSIONTECH IP PTY. LTD.Inventors: Byron John Kennedy, Steven Peter Camilleri, Lyell Douglas Embery, Sylvain James Laversanne, Toby John Jarrett

Patent number: 9041264Abstract: An axial flux electrical machine including a housing, a stator located within the housing, a rotatable shaft carried by the housing by means of at least a main bearing, and a rotor fixed to the shaft within the housing. Magnetic attractive forces between the rotor and the stator produce an axial thrust on the main bearing and a biasing means (preferably in the form of a spring) is arranged to urge the shaft in a direction opposite to the axial thrust so as to reduce the net load on the main bearing. This reduction in net load on the main bearing increases bearing life and improves motor efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2008Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: Regal Beloit America, Inc.Inventors: Charles Richard Langford, Steven Peter Camilleri
