Abstract: This disclosure provides a consolidated electric motor stator lamination for multiple enclosure types such that a single stator assembly can be used for different classifications of an electric motor. Each layer of the stator lamination includes external features that, when combined with the external features of the other layers in the lamination, can be adapted to conform the electric motor to one of a plurality of enclosure types. The external features include retaining features for one or more covers, fins, and a profile configured to accept cooling tubes. In various embodiments, a single consolidated stator lamination assembly can be adapted to provide a motor having at least two of an open-drip proof (ODP), a totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC), or a totally enclosed water cooled (TEWC) enclosure classification.

Abstract: A machine produces twisted paper for loose file packaging. The machine includes at least one auger to reduce a dimension, such as diameter, of paper as it is pulled from a roll. The material moves past the auger into a twisting assembly wherein the paper is twisted or rotated about a longitudinal axis of the machine inside a pipe or tube. The pipe or tube includes a cutout or interruption in the sidewall within which a wheel resides. The wheel grasps and advances the paper through the twisting assembly as it rotates. As the paper leaves the twisting assembly it is pulled or otherwise fed through an exist region and is cut into segments of small twisted pieces of paper. The twisted segments of paper are of suitable size for use as loose fill packaging.

Abstract: A system and method overlay of advanced digital technology onto the installed feeder and distribution cable portion of the outside plant to obtain additional voice circuits. Interface equipment proximate existing drop wire interface points converts digitized voice circuits back to analog signaling together with appropriate POTS signaling and power connections. The interface equipment is centrally powered along with other portions of the outside plant so that operation is independent of customer and commercial power sources. Power may be provided by batteries located at the associated central office or by locally provisioned, non-interruptible, battery-backed-up power sources. The existing switched telephone network includes central offices connected by interoffice facility trunks, each central office providing service to nearby subscribers connected by local loop facilities.
