  • Patent number: 9190878
    Abstract: A permanently magnetizable rotor having a central rotor structure including a rotor shaft supporting a cylindrical backiron. The rotor further includes a multi-pole structure comprising circumferentially alternating pole elements, and a rotor cover extending longitudinally over the multi-pole structure. The rotor additionally includes an endcap including an engagement surface positioned in engagement with an end of the backiron. The endcap defines first and second anti-rotation features for preventing circumferential rotation of one or more of the pole elements about the backiron. The first anti-rotation feature is configured differently than the second anti-rotation feature and each anti-rotation feature defines a torque transmitting feature for transmitting a torque from different locations on the multi-pole structure.

  • Patent number: 8751575
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a ghost profile is disclosed. The ghost profile allows a user to use certain features in a social network without converting to a social network profile. Specifically, the ghost profiles are unsearchable and comments that originate from a ghost profile user are displayed as partial names. The ghost profile is generated when a member of the social network invites a user to join. In one example, the member is automatically added as a friend to the user's ghost profile.

  • Patent number: 8607420
    Abstract: A hose clamp has a flexible strap fittable around a hose and having opposite ends, a strap end part separate from the strap, and a mechanism for increasing or reducing the effective length of the strap. This mechanism is between one of the ends of the strap and the strap end part. A spring element separate from the strap and strap end part has one end linked to the strap and another end linked to the strap end part so as to provide a spring force in the circumferential direction of the strap.

  • Patent number: 8455602
    Abstract: The field of this invention relates to supramolecular functional materials, particularly to coordination networks, more particularly to coordination polymers, more particularly to metal based one-dimensional coordination polymers. The metal based one-dimensional coordination polymers comprises a repeat unit [L1-M-L2]n where L1 and L2 are one of a plurality of carboxylate ligands and L1 can be the same as L2, M is a metal, particularly a transition metal, and n is an integer from 1 to infinity. The metal based one-dimensional coordination polymers display one or more physico-chemical properties giving at least one functionality to the supramolecular material.

  • Patent number: 6257153
    Abstract: A sturdy collapsible wooden TV/sofa table for use with a chair, couch or sofa, comprising of a foldable tabletop and folding t-shaped leg supports. The foldable tabletop comprises of two coplanar pieces mounted together by two hinges. One of the coplanar portions is a great deal smaller than the other thus allowing for the tabletop to fold into a parallel position against its leg supports when in the collapsed form. The leg supports are also mounted pivotally to each other by two hinges. One leg is mounted perpendicular to the tabletop piece while the other is hinged lengthwise to the middle of the longer portion of the tabletop and folds parallel to it when in the collapsed position. The movable hinged leg is designed to hold the tabletop in the upright position when in use, where it is fastened to a finger latch located underneath the tabletop. The finger latch keeps the leg from moving from its t-shaped position while in the upright position.
