  • Patent number: 10819196
    Abstract: A rotor assembly for an electric generator, comprising a rotor element, conductive rotor windings and a plurality of rotor slot wedges. The rotor element comprises rotor teeth and rotor slots. At least a first rotor slot wedge is in a first rotor slot and has a shape that encompasses a rectangular prismatic shape and first and second protrusions. At least a first edge on an end surface of at least a first rotor slot wedge has a degree of smoothness as specified herein, and/or is radiused (as defined herein). Also, methods of refurbishing an electric generator, comprising radiusing at least a portion of at least one edge of a wedge. Also, removing a wedge from rotor element, radiusing at least one edge of the wedge, and inserting the wedge into a rotor element.

  • Patent number: 10596612
    Abstract: A metal roof panel includes a rib with a unique shape. The rib is bilateral with upwardly angled sides that each transition into an indentation, with both indentations transitioning into a central flat apex. Between each rib is a channel, preferably including at least one raised surface. The lower surface of the channel between the raised surfaces, and the top of the raised surfaces, are substantially planar and parallel to the flat surface of the apex of the panel. A unique method of manufacturing the roof panel employs a roll machine configured to shape a piece of sheet metal into the roof panel by modifying the shape in many small increments, which allows the final product to have a fairly intricate bend pattern.

  • Patent number: 9648456
    Abstract: This invention comprises a mobile asset cellular device transmission detector equipped, a wireless processing unit, an event recorder, and a digital video recorder. The wireless processing unit includes event recorder interface software, digital video recorder interface software that obtains data from the digital video recorder, Wi-Nav software that obtains data from the Wi-Nav, GPS software that obtains data from the GPS and geo-fence software. The cellular device transmission detector continually checks for cellular device transmissions within the mobile asset and if those transmissions were associated with an impact, rollover, operator action or geo-fence defined location or boundary. When a cellular device transmission was made, the wireless processing unit triggers an episode and sends event recorder information, GPS location and speed, audio and video recordings, and impact and rollover information to a back office.

  • Patent number: 7436775
    Abstract: A cluster router architecture and methods for performing distributed routing is presented. Implementations include off-the shelf Personal Computer (PC) hardware. The cluster router architecture includes PC-based router cluster nodes toroidally interconnected in an intra-connection network in multiple dimensions. The cluster router may further make use of a management node. Each router cluster node is provided with the same routing functionality and a node centric configuration enabling each router cluster node by itself or multiple router cluster nodes in the cluster router to provide routing responses for packets pending processing. The method divides packet processing into entry packet processing and routing response processing; and exit processing. Entry packet processing and routing response processing is performed by router cluster nodes receiving packets from communication networks in which the cluster router participates.

  • Publication number: 20080096145
    Abstract: Zone Master 2002 was designed as a two-part process that enables the installer to regulate the amount of heat required to efficiently heat any established area or “zone” in a building or residence. With the ability to shut off part of the burners, you can adjust from 20,000 to 120,000 BTU output on the same furnace. The control board allows for up to eight zones, a universal fit, and the ability to combine inputs from multiple thermostats and readjust as thermostats are satisfied.
