Abstract: An electric motor includes a stator assembly and a rotor assembly. The rotor assembly includes a rotor shaft that is rotatable relative to the stator assembly about a rotation axis. The motor also includes an endshield, a bearing assembly rotatably supporting the rotor shaft on the endshield, a shaft ground assembly electrically coupled to the rotor shaft, and a bearing lockplate. The bearing lockplate is fixedly coupled to the endshield. The shaft ground assembly is supported by the bearing lockplate on the endshield.

Abstract: A fitting for mounting to the ends of smooth wall tubes, the fitting having an entry for the tube and a collet which grips on the outside diameter of the tube by means of a mechanical spring. The fitting also seals on the inside diameter of the tube. A passageway extends through the fitting such that the tube is in fluid communication with a supply source, the fluid being able to flow between the supply source and the tube. The fluid pressure activates a piston in the fitting which causes the collet to engage the tube more securely and also increases the seal within the inside diameter of the tube.

Abstract: Bendiocarb granules combat corn rootworm. Preferred bendiocarb granules comprise (A) base granules to which the bendiocarb adheres by means of a sticker comprising a hydrocarbon of viscosity at least 20 centipoises, the bendiocarb granules bearing a surface coating of a flowability agent, (B) absorbent base granules impregnated with the bendiocarb, or especially (C) base granules to which the bendiocarb adheres by means of a sticker comprising a water-soluble sticker.

Abstract: Pesticidal bendiocarb granules comprise either (a) base granules to which the bendiocarb adheres by means of a sticker comprising a hydrocarbon of viscosity at least 20 centipoises, the bendiocarb granules bearing a surface coating of a flowability agent, or (b) absorbent base granules impregnated with the bendiocarb.
