  • Publication number: 20220234106
    Abstract: Rotors formed by an additive manufacturing process are presented. In one example, a method of making a rotor is presented including defining a printing order for the application of a first material, and creating a plurality of lobes arranged helically about a central opening or a shaft by adding a first material in the printing order, wherein each of the plurality of lobes defines an outer surface.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20200116148
    Abstract: A method of treating, tuning, assembling, and/or overhauling a twin rotor device includes applying a coating material on an internal set of working surfaces of the twin rotor device when at least partially assembled. The coating may be factory or field applied to a new or used twin rotor device. The working surfaces may be uncoated or previously coated and may be built-up as the coating material forms a coating on at least some of the working surfaces. Manufacturing variations of a pair of rotors and a housing may be compensated by the coating. One or more performance characteristics of the twin rotor device may be improved by the coating, and variation between a series of twin rotor device may be reduced or substantially eliminated. The coating may reduce internal leakage and increase volumetric efficiency of the twin rotor device. The twin rotor device may be a supercharger 200, a screw compressor 1200, or other twin rotor device.

  • Publication number: 20200098471
    Abstract: A system comprises a server computing device comprising a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive data from one or more devices in a customer premises indicative of a physical state of an occupant of the customer premises; apply one or more predictive models to the data from the customer premises to correlate output from one or more predictive models to an occupant condition; and actuate an action based on output of applying the one or more predictive models.

  • Patent number: 10539133
    Abstract: A method of treating, tuning, assembling, and/or overhauling a twin rotor device (200, 1200) includes applying a coating material (102) on an internal set of working surfaces (218, 222, 224, 226, 228, 1218, 1222, 1224, 1226, 1228) of the twin rotor device when at least partially assembled. The coating may be factory or field applied to a new or used twin rotor device. The working surfaces may be uncoated or previously coated and may be built-up as the coating material forms a coating (206, 1206) on at least some of the working surfaces. Manufacturing variations of a pair of rotors (220, 1220) and a housing (210, 1210) may be compensated by the coating. One or more performance characteristics of the twin rotor device may be improved by the coating, and variation between a series of twin rotor device may be reduced or substantially eliminated. The coating may reduce internal leakage and increase volumetric efficiency of the twin rotor device.
