  • Publication number: 20160036365
    Abstract: The (6) power transformer that transmits power that links to (7) electromagnetic wound with a coil in a magnetic field as an amplifier of electrical amperes in a circuit, which an electromagnetic induction that generates overall power of the magnetomotive force as an alternating current (AC) induction motor. The (10) electromagnetic rotor bar as the magnetic rotating force that connects (9) the slip ring which supplies the magnetic current in an air gap (that interacts with electromagnetic induction) to the rotor bar that connects to (14) the fly wheel, a lever that generates torque. In accord with various petrol engine specifications the electromechanical power system can power passenger vehicles, trucks, buses, tractors, cranes, motorcycles, boats, locomotives, ships and other mechanical systems such as hydraulic engines, which include backhoes, excavators, and bulldozers; also it is the driving force of the rotors of pumping systems and electrical generating systems.

  • Publication number: 20150344675
    Abstract: A method is provided for making an annealed door skin or composite door assembly. At least the door skin is formed of a composition comprising a thermoset binder and fiberglass. The door skin, alone or in combination with other parts of a door assembly, is subjected to annealing to make the annealed door skin. The process of annealing comprises the step of heating the door skin, alone or in combination with other parts of the door assembly, above the glass transition temperature yet below the thermal degradation temperature of the thermoset binder for a sufficient amount of time to cause release internal stresses in the door skin, then the step of cooling the door skin.

  • Patent number: 7806069
    Abstract: A system for securing a flexible cover to a boat is described. The system includes a flexible cover defining a peripheral edge and a flexible member attached to the flexible cover adjacent to the peripheral edge.

  • Publication number: 20100031470
    Abstract: A hinge is described that includes a first bracket adapted to be attached to a first substrate. The first bracket includes a channel defining a first central axis and defining a first lateral axis perpendicular to the first central axis. The hinge also includes a second bracket adapted to be attached to a second substrate. The second bracket defines a second central axis and a second lateral axis perpendicular to the second central axis. The first lateral axis and the second lateral axis are disposed a distance from one another. A connecting stem pivotally connects the first bracket to the second bracket. A protrusion is disposed at one end of the connecting stem. The protrusion is disposed within the channel defined by the first bracket. An adjustable connection exists between the connecting stem and the second bracket to permit adjustment of the distance between the first and second lateral axes.
