  • Patent number: 12273011
    Abstract: An induction motor rotor shaft assembly may include an induction motor rotor shaft rotatable about a center axis, the induction motor rotor shaft including a hollow cylindrical base including an outer circumferential surface, an inner circumferential surface, a first axial end and a second axial end. The induction motor rotor shaft can include a helical structure extending about the center axis on or in the inner circumferential surface. The induction motor rotor shaft assembly may include a coolant supply for providing coolant inside of the hollow cylindrical base onto the helical structure for flow axially inside the hollow cylindrical base along the helical structure as the induction motor rotor shaft rotates about the center axis.

  • Publication number: 20100031523
    Abstract: A brake pad measuring device is designed to be small enough to fit through various suspension components or many vehicles' wheel aperture and still maintain the ability to move in three-dimensions. The device is compact enough so that it may take an accurate reading of the thickness of a brake pad while being between the caliper housing and the brake pad backing plate of a vehicle. The device also comprises a spring so that once it is correctly placed, it may be manipulated in order to automatically get a reading of the thickness of a brake pad to the closest millimeter or 32nd of an inch by releasing the spring to cause a measurement to be automatically taken. Using this device, any user can get quick, reliable measurements for all four sets of brake pads in a matter of minutes and all without having to remove a single wheel from the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20080092746
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for producing beverages or other food products which includes, generally and broadly, controllably dispensing water from the system for use in brewing. Water is introduced to a heated water reservoir heating and subsequent use in a process such as brewing. A thermal expansion system is provided to accommodate water which expands from the reservoir as a result of the heating process. One form of thermal expansion system may include a venturi device which allows the accumulation of water which expands during the heating process and then returns the water to the flow of water during a brew cycle.

  • Publication number: 20070186780
    Abstract: A system as disclosed herein uses a cold or unheated water source such as a reservoir or a pressurized inlet feed line, and a heated water reservoir. The unheated water reservoir is pressurized with a pressurizing apparatus communicating with the unheated water reservoir. Such a pressurizing apparatus may include an air pump, bladder or piston arrangement as well as other pressurizing apparatus. The pressurizing apparatus is controllable to push water from the unheated water reservoir to the heated water reservoir. As a result of the pressurization and displacement of the unheated water, heated water is then displaced and forced from the heated water reservoir. Heated water from the heated water reservoir is dispensed to the spray head and over the beverage brewing substance such as coffee for brewing.

  • Publication number: 20070151466
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for producing beverages or other food products which includes, generally and broadly, controllably dispensing water from the system for use in brewing. Water is introduced to a heated water reservoir heating and subsequent use in a process such as brewing. An active thermal expansion system is provided to accommodate water which expands from the reservoir as a result of the heating process. One form of thermal expansion system may include a controllable expansion device accommodates an accumulation of water which expands during the heating process and then returns the water to the flow of water during a brew cycle or drains the water from the system.
