Patent number: 7946554Abstract: An apparatus and method suitable for supporting a cylindrical component. The apparatus includes a pedestal having an upper surface with a semispherical concave shape, and a carriage supported on the upper surface of the pedestal. The carriage has a lower surface and an oppositely-disposed upper surface with elements for contacting and rotatably supporting the cylindrical component. The lower surface of the carriage engages the upper surface of the pedestal and has a semispherical convex shape complementary to the semispherical concave shape of the upper surface of the pedestal. The apparatus further includes a reservoir at and recessed in the upper surface of the pedestal, and a feature for delivering a lubricant to the lubricant reservoir. The lower surface of the carriage and the upper surface of the pedestal define an enclosure around the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2008Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: John Matthew Sassatelli, Gary Charles Popham, Virgil Vaillancourt, Michael Raymond Kolk

Patent number: 7843104Abstract: A stator component whose composition and processing enable the component to axially compress magnetic sheets of a stator and also inhibit joule heating of the component to the extent that the need for a separate flux shield can be eliminated. The component is formed of a ductile iron alloy containing, by weight, about 3.25 to about 3.40% carbon, about 3.70 to about 3.80% silicon, about 4.50 to about 4.70% nickel, up to about 0.20% manganese, up to about 0.06% magnesium, less than 0.02% phosphorus, less than 0.02% sulfur, with the balance being iron and incidental impurities. Following heat treatment, the component exhibits properties that inhibit joule heating of the component by eddy currents induced by alternating magnetic fields of the stator.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2008Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Subrahmanyam Thangirala
