Abstract: A method of making an electromagnetic coil for use in a high-temperature electromagnetic machine includes pre-coating magnet wire with a high-temperature insulation precursor to produce pre-coated magnet wire, winding, while applying in-situ a glass-ceramic slurry, the pre-coated magnet wire into a predetermined coil shape to produce a wet-wound green coil, and thermally processing the wet-wound green coil to produce a processed coil. In some instances, a second layer of a high-temperature insulation may be applied to the processed coil to produce a further insulated processed coil, and then thermally processing the further insulated processed coil to produce a further processed electromagnetic coil.

Abstract: An integral cold plate/chassis (ICPC) housing may be formed from two blocks of material, having a cold plate sandwiched therebetween, brazed together. The blocks may then be machined to fit power electronics therein, thereby providing a cold plate as an integral part of the power electronic's housing. Unlike conventional heat exchangers that may be used to dissipate heat from power-dissipating components that are housed typically in sheet metal housings, the ICPC described herein provides a cold plate integral to the housing of power electronics, thereby allowing the rapid and efficient removal of heat from the components into the cold plate carrier fluid and out of the system.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to an isolated promoter sequence from Arabidopisis thaliana BOSI gene encoding a protein for biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. Also, the invention relates to recombinant vectors, expression cassettes, host cells, plants or progeny thereof comprising nucleic acid molecules operably linked to said promoter.

Abstract: The invented software system and method is an easy-to-use, browser-based solution, providing casual business computer users the ability to create, modify, and monitor business processes, much like spreadsheet software allows users to quickly complete complex math calculations. It is built on a “fill in the table” interface so any user can create a customized process within minutes, without having to understand how to flow chart or program a computer. Automatic alerts regarding work to be done, sent through a normal email client, are included as part of the product's feature set as well as a chronological history and a variety of default reports. Processes are easy to set up, deploy, and control, and participation in those processes is simple and fast. Any process can be immediately launched and is saved as a template for later use or modification. Templates can be shared or sold to other users, as well. Briefly, the invented system and method includes software running on a server accessible via a network, e.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns a stone roller for use in a paper making machine as a pressure roller, or for other like uses. The stone roller may be comprised of granite. To prevent roller cracking and sagging, it is axially stressed by clamping plates at opposite ends. A plurality of tie-rods preferably placed closer to the periphery than the axial center of the roller, pass through the roller and join and draw together the clamping plates so as to axially stress the body. Either a single large diameter borehole or a plurality of boreholes are provided in the roller body, through which the tie-rods pass. The open space in the boreholes may be filled with a filler, such as concrete. To protect the tie-rods from abrasion, they may be covered by a protective sheath of plastic or rubber. In an alternate form, the stone roller body may be comprised of an axial series of roller body parts, having complementary formations on their adjoining faces for properly relatively positioning them.

Abstract: A roller for a paper machine, including: a tube passing axially through the shell of the roller; a respective holder for each of a plurality of counterbalancing weights; the holders being annularly spaced around the tube; a spring pushing each holder around the respective weight supported thereon toward the inside surface of the roller shell.
