Abstract: Traditionally, meetings are widely utilized in business and personal communications, whether in-person and/or virtual. Organizing such meetings typically involves multiple exchanges of content and messages between users before, during, and after the meeting. In some cases, meetings may occur impromptu and may result in inefficient and unproductive collaboration. A collaboration object configured to enable users to dynamically collaborate before, during, and after a meeting is provided. In aspects, the collaboration object links content generated before, during, and after the meeting in a single location and provides functionality for concurrent multi-user interaction and synchronization of the content across applications. The collaboration object may be available from a variety of application platforms, enabling and persisting real-time editing and collaboration before, during and after the meeting.

Abstract: A motor for a laundry appliance includes a drive shaft coupled to a drum at a first end. The rotor frame is coupled proximate the second end of the drive shaft, where the rotor frame includes at least one polymeric material. A central hub includes a core and a perimetrical ring that extends circumferentially around the core. A plurality of recesses are defined within a planar surface of the perimetrical ring, wherein a portion of the polymeric material is received within the plurality of recesses to secure the rotor frame to the central hub.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to polysiloxanes, processes for preparing polysiloxanes, and hydraulic fluids comprising polysiloxanes. This disclosure also relates to hydraulic fluids comprising one or more polysiloxane compounds and diphosphonate compounds, and to the use of diphosphonate compounds in hydraulic fluids or as additives or components in various compositions, for example to provide fire retardant properties to a fluid or composition. This disclosure also relates to use of the compositions as hydraulic fluids, which may be used in various machines, vehicles and craft, including aircraft.

Abstract: A stator for an appliance motor includes an annular core made up of a metallic plate that is spirally wound into a laminated structure. An overmold extends around the core and further defines an interior section and a bridge section that extends between the core and the interior section. The interior section includes stator fastening portions that are used to attach the stator to a tub. The bridge section includes a first radial structure that extends from the interior section to the core. The bridge section includes a second radial structure that extends from the interior section to the core. The core, the interior section and the first and second radial structures define a toroidal cavity within the bridge section.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a drum rotationally positioned within a structural cabinet. An impeller is rotationally positioned within the drum. The impeller is selectively and independently operable with respect to the drum. A binary motor has a first motor and a second motor disposed within a common housing. A first drive belt extends between the first motor and the drum. A second drive belt extends between the second motor and the impeller. The first and second motors engage the first and second drive belts on a belt side of the common housing.
