Patent number: 9190878Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Globe Motors, Inc.Inventors: Daniel L.

Patent number: 8751575Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2011Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Eduardo Jose Tejada-Gamero, Eduardo Thuler, Diego de Assis Monteiro Fernandes, Fernando Antonio Fernandes, Jr., Bruno Maciel Fonseca

Patent number: 8607420Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2008Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Progeral Industria de Artefatos Plasticos Ltda.Inventors: Marco Antonio Vieira De Campos, Reiner Lubowietzki, Leticia Pantojo, Wellington Fernando Domingues, Lilian Aires Muzel, José Silva Muniz, Rodrigo Garcia Jaques Eid, Alberto Caetano Dos Santos, Jose Antonio Fernandes Junior

Patent number: 6257153Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1999Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Inventor: Antonio Fernandes Portugal
