  • Patent number: 8736129
    Abstract: An example end cap of a stator segment is provided for use in locating wires in a segmented stator assembly in desired positions. The end cap generally includes a body and an inboard wall. An identifier is defined by the inboard wall of the end cap for use in determining wire sizes to be used with the end cap. Terminal pockets are provided in the body for receiving the wires and making desired electrical connections, and steps located in the terminal pockets help secure the connectors in the terminal pockets. Plateaus, and troughs defined in the plateaus, are located outside the terminal pockets for use in trimming wires received in the terminal pockets as desired. And, retaining structures are located around the end cap to help with locating the wires in the desired positions.

  • Patent number: 8492943
    Abstract: A motor includes a stator core and windings extending through the stator core. The windings include end turns extending from the stator core that form a coil. A protector is electrically connected to the windings and is positioned adjacent the coil. A bracket is sized and shaped to receive the protector, and includes a spacer in contact with the protector and with the coil. The protector is spaced from the coil by the spacer to reduce heat transfer from the windings to the protector.

  • Publication number: 20020148608
    Abstract: A process of enhancing hydrocarbon production from wells previously hydraulically fractured with a polymer based fluid(s). An in-situ combustion process is initiated in the reservoir for a short duration wherein thermal and chemical processes act to reduce the viscosity of unbroken gels and other fluids retained in the propped hydraulic fracture and immediate reservoir matrix vicinity.
