  • Patent number: 9956369
    Abstract: A mouthpiece having a vestibular shield overlapping a user's teeth and gums, a gases passageway extending through the vestibular shield allowing for the passage of the gases through the mouthpiece and an extra oral sealing member is associated with the gases passageway. The passageway in use causes gases to be diffused when exiting from the gases passageway. The mouthpiece may have a noseflap to seal the user's nose or provide a passageway for the user's nasal passages. The mouthpiece may have an adjustment arrangement to alter a distance between the vestibular shield and the extra-oral sealing member.

  • Publication number: 20050082919
    Abstract: A motor includes a stator having multiple conductors that create a plurality of magnetic fields when electrical current is conducted through the conductors. The stator has a pair of opposing end surfaces in contact with each other forming a toroidal core. A monolithic body of phase change material substantially encapsulates the conductors and holds said toroidal core in place. The stator is formed by laminating strips together to form a linear core preform, winding wire around poles extending from a side of the core preform, then rolling the preform to bring its two ends together to form the toroidal core. Hard disc drives using the motor, and methods of constructing the motor and hard disc drives are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6139725
    Abstract: An oil reclamation device includes a full flow filter (10) fitted around a partial flow filter (12) within an open-ended casing (8). The open end of the casing is capped by a housing defining a vaporization chamber (6). In normal operation, oil flows from oil passage (14) through the full flow filter (10) to a branched leg (22). A metering jet (34) provided in the branched leg allows a minor portion of the oil to flow through the partial flow filter and then into the vaporization chamber. The full flow filter extracts solid contaminants having a particle size of 15 microns or greater. The partial flow filter extracts solid contaminants of 1 micron or greater. The filter element of the partial flow filter is composed of compressed cotton fibers and preferably has a higher density in an upper end adjacent the vaporization chamber. In the vaporization chamber, liquid contaminants are removed from the minor portion by a heating element (72).
