Patent number: 11949287Abstract: This disclosure provides a consolidated electric motor stator lamination for multiple enclosure types such that a single stator assembly can be used for different classifications of an electric motor. Each layer of the stator lamination includes external features that, when combined with the external features of the other layers in the lamination, can be adapted to conform the electric motor to one of a plurality of enclosure types. The external features include retaining features for one or more covers, fins, and a profile configured to accept cooling tubes. In various embodiments, a single consolidated stator lamination assembly can be adapted to provide a motor having at least two of an open-drip proof (ODP), a totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC), or a totally enclosed water cooled (TEWC) enclosure classification.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: ABB Schweiz AGInventors: William E. Martin, Stephen T. Evon, Jerry L. Martin, Barron D. Grant, John M. Zedek

Patent number: 7318059Abstract: A system (100) for providing multiple facility healthcare corporations the ability to assign and maintain shared medical record numbers (43) across multiple entities. The system establishes a parent/child relationship among the entities to share medical record number ranges, formats, and data. A patient record identifier database (102) contains patient records in a searchable unit record file (50) and an identification number file (3). A search processor (105) locates relevant records and a rules processor (104) applies various tests to the returned data in order to assign a medical record number (43, 13) to a single unique unit reference number (2, 5, 11) to a person without duplication or conflict with identifiers used at other entities (4, 9, 190). The reference numbers and their associated medical records are shared among the various entities. The sharing relationships may be altered by authorized users accessing on line file maintenance (312) and programs (311).Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2005Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Siemens Medical Solutions Health Services CorporationInventors: Denise Marie Thomas, Gaylene Curtis, John E.

Patent number: 7069273Abstract: A computer based system and method determines packaging for a part. The system and method allow a user to establish a set of part characteristics and generates the packaging specification as a function thereof. Additionally the system and method uses packaging materials and packaging methods stored in a database and allows the association of one or more of the packaging materials and packaging methods to a part to create the packaging specification.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2002Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: John E. Grant, William T. Akright

Patent number: 6540562Abstract: A communication jackfield having a face-plate, with a multitude of first through holes. Further, a multitude of assemblies comprising two or more communication jacks, having wire-wrap terminal connectors, are arranged to be mounted in the first through holes of the face-plate. A printed circuit board is fastened to the terminal connectors and is arranged in a gap formed between the terminal connectors. The board has an electrically conducting pattern arranged on both flat sides of the board, the pattern comprising a set of input pads, electrically connectable to the terminal conductors, a set of output pads, for connecting to electrical wiring, and interconnecting means for electrically connecting an individual input pad to an individual output pad.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2000Date of Patent: April 1, 2003Assignee: AVP Mfg. & Supply Inc.Inventors: Daniel L. Baker, John E. Grant

Patent number: 6280238Abstract: A communication jackfield having a face plate, a plurality of jacks and a designation plate. The designation plate is of a generally elongate flat shape, and has a plurality of jack barrel access holes, for allowing a front end of each of the jack barrels to protrude into respective jack barrel access hole, when jacks are mounted onto the face plate. The designation plate further has a first strip holder and a second strip holder, each strip holder having a longitudinal lower flange and a longitudinal upper flange arranged to securely hold a strip of information marking material. The designation plate covers substantially all of a front side of the face plate, and further has jack screw access holes arranged in conjunction with each jack barrel access hole.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2000Date of Patent: August 28, 2001Assignee: AVP Mfg. & Supply Inc.Inventors: Daniel L. Baker, John E. Grant

Patent number: 5730618Abstract: The panel has several sections, each with a different hole profile. The top panel section has a hole diameter which corresponds to the terminal flange in such a way that the top panel section contacts the terminal flange, holding the terminal with frictional gripping force. This contact keeps the terminal from wobbling, thus eliminating the weakening of the terminal support legs and shorting between terminals. The panel section between the top and rear panel sections (i.e. the middle section) has a hole diameter which corresponds to the outer diameter of the terminal between the terminal flange and the terminal support legs, so that the terminal can be press fitted in the middle section hole. The rear panel section has a hole diameter which is conical or profiled with a larger diameter towards the top panel section, corresponding to the width of the support legs in such a way that the support legs can be fully sprung out, and a smaller diameter towards the rear of the mass termination panel.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1996Date of Patent: March 24, 1998Assignee: AVP Mfg. & Supply Inc.Inventors: Daniel L. Baker, John E. Grant
