  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ASSEMBLING AN ELECTRIC CONVERTER
    Publication number: 20260051796
    Abstract: A method of assembling an electric converter. The method includes placing a stack of rotor cores on a base plate of a tool assembly, inserting a core shaft into an aperture of the stack of rotor cores so that the stack of rotor cores and the core shaft surround a heater, and turning on the heater to heat the core shaft such that the stack of rotor cores and the heated core shaft are joined together. A diameter of the aperture of the stack of rotor cores is greater than a diameter of the core shaft prior to inserting the core shaft into the aperture of the stack of rotor cores.

  • Engine intake manifold assembly
    Patent number: 7360519
    Abstract: An engine intake manifold assembly including a first portion configured with a first material and a second portion configured with a second material, wherein the first and second portions are adhesively bonded together. Preferably, the intake manifold assembly is additionally configured with a cylinder head flange, for mounting the same to an automotive engine component, and a throttle body attachment for attachment of a throttle body component. The cylinder head flange and throttle body attachment may be an integral component of the first or second portions or attached to the same during or after assembly of the first and second portions. Optionally, an insert is located between the assembled first and second portion to create one or more plenums thereby creating one or more air flow paths through the intake manifold assembly.
