  • Publication number: 20030173715
    Abstract: Composite structural members, methods, and apparatus for making the same are described. The composite members are formed by resistive heating of the composite material using an electric current with sufficient voltage through the composite. The resistance of the composite material creates an energy loss in the form of heat, melting the matrix of the composite material and allowing the composite material to be shaped in any desired manner.

  • Patent number: 6419289
    Abstract: A vehicle bumper system is shown to include a vehicle bumper component, a main electrical connector integrated with the vehicle bumper component, a second electrical connector integrated with the vehicle bumper component, and an electrical communication path integrated with the vehicle bumper component. The electrical communication path extends between the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector. The vehicle bumper component is designed to permit mounting of an electrically controlled device at a mounting area. The second electrical connector is at or in close proximity to the mounting area to permit the electrically controlled device to electrically couple therewith when it is mounted at the mounting area of said vehicle bumper component. Another electrical communication path electrically couples the second electrical connector with bumper mounting holes used to permit mounting of the bumper component with a vehicle chassis/frame.

  • Patent number: 5770902
    Abstract: A motor termination board is disclosed for facilitating interconnection of control components and power components in a Brushless DC motor. The motor termination board includes a first stamping having a plurality of conductive paths, where the first stamping includes a plurality of connection points for receiving leads from control components and a plurality of control terminals for connecting the motor termination board to an electronic control of the motor. A second stamping is positioned adjacent the first conductive stamping and also has a plurality of conductive paths, where the second stamping includes a plurality of connection points for receiving leads from windings of the motor and a plurality of power terminals for connecting the motor termination board to a power supply for the motor. A termination board housing is provided for encapsulating the conductive paths of the first and second stampings and includes a first socket around the control terminals and a second socket around the power terminals.

  • Patent number: 5731648
    Abstract: One aspect of the invention is a rotor core for use with a permanent ring magnet in an electric motor which serves to minimize and evenly distribute thermal stresses in the rotor without undermining the efficiency of the motor by distorting the flux return to the ring magnet. According to one embodiment, the rotor core comprises a plurality of laminated plates. Each of the plates has a rim with a circular outer perimeter, a hub concentric with the outer perimeter of the rim, and first and second sets of curved spokes coupling the hub to the rim. Each spoke of the first set of curved spokes is concave in a clockwise direction and each spoke of the second set of curved spokes is concave in a counter-clockwise direction. According to another embodiment, the rotor core comprises a plurality of laminated structurally-identical perforated plates having obverse and reverse sides such that the obverse side of each plate faces the obverse side of an adjacent plate.
