  • Patent number: 11955861
    Abstract: A stator of a brushless motor is disclosed which includes a stator core, an insulating frame arranged on the stator core, and a plurality of windings wound around the insulating frame. The stator core includes a ring-shaped yoke part and a pole part mounted to the radial inner side of the yoke part. The pole part includes a plurality of teeth spaced-apart from each other along the circumferential direction, and a ring-shaped portion arranged at and connected to the radial inner side of the teeth. The radial outer sides of the teeth abut against the radial inner side of the yoke part. The insulating frame is arranged on the pole part. A plurality of power terminals are fixed to one axial end of the insulating frame and respectively electrically connected to the windings.

  • Patent number: 9859767
    Abstract: An electric motor has an end cap assembly having a ground connection. The motor has a housing, a brush assembly including brushes, electrical components and a terminal holder, an end cap, and a ground plate. The brush assembly is secured in an open end of the housing. The end cap is positioned on an outer side of the brush assembly and fixed to the housing. The ground plate is disposed between and is resiliently compressed by the brush assembly and the end cap. The plate includes a plurality of elastic structures. Each elastic structure resiliently bears against corresponding leads of at least some of the electrical components. The ground plate is electrically connected to at least one of the housing and the end cap to accomplish a ground connection.

  • Patent number: 9467028
    Abstract: An electric motor has a stator, a rotor, two motor terminals and a filter circuit for suppressing electromagnetic interference. The filter circuit includes a flexible circuit assembly having a FPCB. Multiple filter elements are mounted to the FPCB. There are less connection points between the filter circuit and the motor terminals, which leads to higher reliability of the motor.

  • Publication number: 20070042507
    Abstract: The method of measuring the partition coefficient of a test molecule comprises incorporating the molecule in a composition of nanoparticles having a porous surface and a first solvent, wherein a second solvent has been absorbed into the porous surface, and said first solvent is immiscible with said second solvent, and then separating the nanoparticles and the first solvent. The amount of the molecule which remains in the first solvent is determined to enable calculation of the partition coefficient. The nanoparticles may have a magnetic core to allow easy separation.
