  • Patent number: 11949287
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5611464
    Abstract: A container, composition and method for preserving treatment solutions, in which the composition includes weak and strong preservatives. The dispensing container includes media within a dispensing tip which media removes or alters the strong preservative, while allowing the weak preservative to inhibit microbial growth in the tip media. The dispensing container is especially useful in delivering to the ocular environment ophthalmic solutions which are essentially free of strong preservative which may cause patient discomfort. A dispensing container including a pH-preserved pilocarpine solution is disclosed in one embodiment.
