Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the efficiency of an organization by analyzing data feeds from various applications are disclosed. According to one embodiment, in an information processing apparatus comprising at least one computer processor a method for measuring efficiency may include: (1) receiving, from an enterprise software program, raw data related to an entity's performance; (2) calculating a plurality of efficiency metrics based on the raw data; (3) identifying a recommended action based on one of the efficiency metrics; and (4) automatically implementing the recommended action.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus including an electric machine having a plurality of rotor bars and a first coupling component configured to electrically couple the plurality of rotor bars together. Each rotor bar of the plurality of rotor bars includes a first metallic material having a first electrical resistivity and a second metallic material cast about the first material, where the second metallic material has a second electrical resistivity greater than the first electrical resistivity. The first metallic material has a first end and a second end opposite the first end and the first coupling component is coupled to the first end of the first metallic material.

Abstract: A Web-based computer system is provided with software for processing of inbound messages originating from a back office system. The computer system or web-based application may be operated to maintain the consistency of the information on both systems. A method of operating the computer system and application is also provided. The method, system and application accommodate use of multiple inbound queue server processes, multiple ports for sending messages from the back office system and multi-threaded processing in the web-based application system. The various inbound messages received by the web-based application system are processed in proper time sequence. Every document created by the back office system is identified with a unique primary key. The primary key identifies the type of document and the document number corresponding to the particular document. The document and a timestamp identifying the date and time of the document's creations are stored in the back office database.

Abstract: Motor for commercial and industrial applications such as golf carts and lift trucks. Features include a thin shell; stator; stator winding; and rotor. Rotor laminations have equally circumferentially spaced semi-closed slots having area for receiving conductors, and the ratio of the number of rotor lamination slots to the rotor outer diameter (measured in inches) is greater than 14.0. In one construction, this ratio is about 15.75; the ratio of the outer diameter to the rotor slot length is from about 9.04 to about 9.16; and the ratio of rotor slot depth or length to rotor slot opening width is from about 10.8 to about 12.5. Cylindrical stator lamination has a given outer diameter and a certain bore diameter determined by the distance between opposing poles. Through-bolt holes are located in the yoke, proximate the outer periphery thereof, and centered with respect to each pole. The ratio of stator pole neck minimum width to two times the yoke thickness or width is from about 0.809 to about 1.009.
