Patent number: 8465007Abstract: A load bearing assembly includes a molded plastic retainer that supports a load bearing surface over an opening defined by a frame. The molded plastic retainer includes a first portion attached to the frame, a second portion attached to the load bearing surface, and at least one elastic connector integrally molded with the retainer. The elastic connector is oriented such that it includes a crystalline structure having a greater degree of alignment in one direction than in other directions.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2006Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Timothy P. Coffield, Mark A. Carrier

Patent number: 8400041Abstract: Segmented stator assemblies having a plurality of stator segments and a plurality of end caps are disclosed. According to one example embodiment, a segmented stator assembly includes a plurality of stator segments and a plurality of end caps. Each stator segment has a yoke portion and a tooth portion extending from the yoke portion. Each end cap is positioned over one of the stator segments. Each end cap includes a body portion positioned at least partially over the yoke portion of its associated stator segment. At least one of the body portions includes at least a first post that cooperates with a post of an adjacent end cap to define a first wire management tie-down. The stator assembly further includes a stator wire coupled to the first wire management tie-down. Stator assemblies and end caps having other wire management and routing features are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2010Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Nidec Motor CorporationInventors: Chetan O. Modi, Mark Carrier, Jason Jurkowski

Publication number: 20070198473Abstract: An intermediate program which is provided at the PIM database server so that file system requests are treated as requests to provide responses for the contact and calendar information as interchange format files, without the need for a front end program or other specialized program on the user computer. The user opens the file manager program and requests a file listing for the server containing the PIM item database. The intermediate program receives the query from the file manager program and queries the PIM item database to determine the contact and calendar items accessible by the user. These items are then provided to the file manager program as standard interchange format files. The user then only need copy the file, at which time are intermediate program converts the proprietary database format information into the interchange file format, and attach it or paste it as desired.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2006Publication date: August 23, 2007Applicant: SimDesk Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Mark Carrier

Publication number: 20070114877Abstract: A stator for an electromagnetic machine includes a plurality of discrete and individually wound stator segments having end caps positioned on the segments. The end caps have legs for positioning the end cap on the segments with an interference fit. The end caps have angled surfaces to facilitate winding of wire on the segments. The end caps have male and female couplings that mate together to couple adjacent segments together. The end caps have fingers and slots for aligning the segments on substantially the same plane. The end caps have wire isolation features, including hooks, shelves and ledges, for separating the interconnect wires routed on the stator to electrically interconnect the segments. The segments include scalloped contours on their outer edges for draining oil, and the end caps have passages for draining oil.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2006Publication date: May 24, 2007Inventors: Weirong Wang, Paul Michaels, John Rose, Mark Carrier, Jason Jurkowski
