Abstract: The invention relates mainly to a method for producing a wound stator (1), including: a step of preparing a phase winding; an insertion step which includes inserting the phase winding into a corresponding series of notches (5) in said stator (1); and an intermediate step of forming lead out wires of the winding (26) each extending between two notches (5) of each series of the inserted phase windings, by applying a first radial force (F1) from an axis (X) of the stator (1) toward the outside of the stator (1), wherein the method also comprises a step of positioning a bearing surface facing at least one notch (5) such as to apply a second radial force (F2) resulting from the application of the first force (F1) from the outside toward the axis (X) of the stator (1).

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods related to an interlocking line block assembly that has a first block portion and a second block portion, each with an outer end surface, an inner end surface defining a plurality of concave receptacles, a plurality of side surfaces extending between the inner end surface and the outer end surface, at least one of the side surfaces having a retention member, and an aperture extending between the inner end surface and the outer end surface. A spacer projects from the a block support of the second block portion and through the aperture of the second block portion, the spacer configured to be slidably received within the aperture of the first block portion when the first block portion is mated with the second block portion.

Abstract: Adsorbents and methods for removing cations of heavy metals from a medium are provided. The adsorbents comprise a porous media in which at least one oxygen-containing compound of iron, copper, aluminum, zirconium, titanium and combinations thereof is incorporated. The oxygen-containing compound may be incorporated into the porous media by impregnation or dispersion of a suitable precursor of such a compound. The precursor may be further treated to yield the oxygen-containing compound. Such adsorbents are particularly useful for removing lead and/or other metal cations from the environment and may be used in treating drinking water sources.

Abstract: A method and recyclable magnetic adsorbent are provided for removing contaminants from a fluid stream that has by-products. The method includes providing an adsorbent material that has incorporated at least one ferromagnetic material. Contacting the ferromagnetic adsorbent material to at least a portion of contaminated stream to adsorb the contaminant. The contaminated adsorbent is then separated from the by-products using a magnetic separation process. The adsorbent is recovered from the solid by-products and reusable in the present method.

Abstract: Adsorbents for removing anions of a heavy metals and methods for using same are provided. Metal removing adsorbents comprise a porous material in which at least one oxygen-containing compound of iron, copper, aluminum, titanium, and/or zirconium is incorporated. The oxygen-containing compound may be incorporated into the porous media by impregnation or dispersion of a suitable precursor of such a compound. The precursor may be further treated to yield the oxygen-containing compound. Such adsorbents are particularly useful for removing arsenic and/or selenium from the environment and may be used in treating drinking water sources.

Abstract: A method for making adsorbents for removing anions of a heavy metals is provided. In an example the method includes impregnating an adsorbent material with a solution comprising at least one compound of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of iron (II), aluminum, titanium, zirconium, and combinations thereof; and converting the compound into an oxygen-containing compound of said metal to produce said adsorbent capable of interacting with anions of the heavy metal. Such adsorbents are particularly useful for removing arsenic and/or selenium from the environment and may be used in treating drinking water sources.

Abstract: A method is presented for removing heavy metal anions from a fluid or gas medium containing metal anions. The method includes providing an adsorbent having deposited therein at least one oxygen-containing compound of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of iron, copper, and aluminum; and contacting a portion of the medium with the adsorbent. The oxygen-containing compound may be incorporated into the carbon by impregnation or dispersion of a suitable precursor of such a compound. The precursor may be further treated to yield the oxygen-containing compound. Such adsorbents are particularly useful for removing arsenic and/or selenium from the environment and may be used in treating drinking water sources.
