  • Patent number: 11258316
    Abstract: A motor for an electric vehicle includes a motor housing for receiving a stator. A plurality of caps each have an outer rim and a washer portion defining a bolt receiving opening. The outer rim of each of the caps is press-fit into the receptacles in the motor housing. The caps are each attached to the stator by one of the bolts. The heads of the bolts clamp the cap to the stator to retain one end of the stator. The outer rim holds the cap in the motor housing while the washer portion flexes axially in response to thermal expansion and contraction of the motor housing. A method is disclosed for assembling the stator into the motor housing.

  • Patent number: 10821821
    Abstract: A vehicle transaxle includes a housing, an electric machine stator, a plurality of mounting plates, and a first set of fasteners. The housing has internal walls that define a cavity and an access opening to the cavity. The electric machine stator is disposed within the cavity between a first of the internal walls and the opening. The plurality of mounting plates secures a first longitudinal end of the stator to the housing proximate the opening. Each fastener of the first set of fasteners extends through one of the mounting plates, through the stator, and engages the first of the internal walls to secure a second longitudinal end of the stator to the first of the internal walls.

  • Publication number: 20080319964
    Abstract: Systems, methods and articles for performing preference filtering on a database query. Example embodiments provide a new algorithm, called BNL#, that operates with a worst-case running time of O(ntce+ne+np) where {ne, np}<<nt?O(ntce). This represents an improvement over existing algorithms that are known in the art, such as the BNL algorithm which operates with a worst-case running time of O(nt2) and the BNL++ algorithm which operates with a worst-case running time of O(ntceneme), with ne<<nt. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
