Publication number: 20160365755Abstract: A lightweight and efficient electrical machine element including a method of manufacture providing a stator winding for an electric machine which has a large portion of its volume containing electrically conductive strands and a small portion of its volume containing of an encapsulant material. The stator winding includes winding of a first phase by shaping a portion of a bundle of conductive strands into an overlapping, multi-layer arrangement. Winding of successive phases occurs with further bundles of conductor strands around the preceding phases constructed into similar overlapping, multi-layer arrangements. The multiple phases are impregnated with the encapsulant material using dies to press the bundles into a desired form while expelling excess encapsulant prior to the curing of the encapsulant material. The encapsulated winding is removed from the dies after the encapsulant has cured. The encapsulant coating on the strands may be activated using either heat or solvent.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2016Publication date: December 15, 2016Inventors: Geoffrey Alan LONG, Bradley E.

Publication number: 20130342618Abstract: A consumable supply item for an imaging device holds an initial or refillable volume of fluid. A housing defines an interior having a backpressure device that moves to regulate pressure in the housing as fluid exits the interior during use. A frame of the housing surrounds the interior and has a ledge. A first film seals to the ledge to prevent fluid from leaking. It is flexible to collapse inward toward the interior as the backpressure device moves inward. A second film seals to the housing over the first film and is spaced by air from the first film. The second film is relatively rigid. It is formed with metal. A tortuous air path traverses under the second film. It has an air inlet vented directly to atmosphere and an air outlet vented directly to the air space between the first and second films.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2012Publication date: December 26, 2013Inventors: Tim Frasure, Gregory Alan Long
