  • Publication number: 20190112097
    Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-part functional gauge. A platform or single package, such as a shipping stand for shipping parts can incorporate the multi-part functional gauge. The shipping stand can also include mounts that are also a functional gauge for checking the specifications of the part. A method of manufacture which includes employing a shipping stand having multiple mounts for multiple parts, the multiple parts mounted to the shipping stand so that the first part needed in the manufacturing process can be removed from the shipping stand without having to remove the other parts attached to the shipping stand. A first part is mounted to a first set of attachment points and a second part is mounted or attached to a second set of attachment points. The first part corresponds to the first part needed in an assembly process.

  • Publication number: 20080049553
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a method that utilizes 3D overall view (O-view) for interactively interpreting geophysical and geological data to produce instantaneously sub-surface geologic maps, geologic features, cross-sections and models, are disclosed. The system provides the user a new capability of interactively interpret seismic data for immediate response. The system allows users to make any corrections interactively on instantaneous basis that is necessary as the interpretation progresses.

  • Patent number: 4590635
    Abstract: A machine for floor maintenance comprising an electric motor in which armature coils are included in a stator and permanent magnets are included in a rotor. The armature coils are disposed substantially radial to the axis of the stator with the axial extent of each coil lesser than the radial extent of each coil, and the permanent magnets of the rotor are disposed substantially radially to the axis of rotation of the rotor with the axial extent of each permanent magnet lesser than the radial extent of each permanent magnet. A three phase switching circuit excites the armature coils in impart rotation to the rotor. As a consequence thereof, the motor has a configuration conforming substantially to the pad or brush of the machine. The pad is attached to the rotor by a pad holder which is formed with a convex surface for engaging the pad.
