  • Motor and method for using and making the same
    Patent number: 10498181
    Abstract: A motor and methods for making and using same. The motor includes a stator having a first stator portion with first and second arcuate regions. The arcuate regions can receive a rotor with a magnetic pole and being concentrically arranged with the stator relative to a central axis. The stator can have one or more winding portions for being wound with a winding and extending from the first stator portion opposite the arcuate regions. When the winding is not energized, a first magnetic coupling between the first arcuate region and a selected magnetic pole is greater than a second magnetic coupling between the second arcuate region and the selected magnetic pole. A selected winding portion is angularly offset from the first arcuate region to advantageously enable movement of the rotor to initiate in either of two opposite directions relative to the selected winding portion when the winding is energized.

  • Ultrasonic inspection technique to assess bond quality in composite structures
    Patent number: 10495609
    Abstract: An ultrasonic inspection technique may be used to inspect quality of a bond between thermal protection system (TPS) material and a composite. The technique may include a highly damped transducer emitting an incident wave, which may traverse through thermal protection system (TPS) material and to a back wall of a composite. The incident wave may be of a low frequency signal, and may return a bondline echo and a backwall echo. The bondline echo is returned when the incident wave reaches a bondline and the backwall echo is returned when the incident wave reaches the backwall of the composite. The bondline echo and the backwall echo may be used to generate a waveform to assess the bond quality, revealing possible unbonds or kissing unbonds.
