  • Publication number: 20250132645
    Abstract: A system can include an axial field rotary energy device with an axis of rotation and a rotor coaxial with the axis and having a shaft, bearings, rotor disks that are coaxial and permanent magnets on each rotor disk. A printed circuit board (PCB) stator is located between the rotor disks to define an air gap on each side of the PCB stator. An enclosure has two enclosure sections with an inspection port. Bearing caps and bearings are mounted to the rotor. A variable frequency drive (VFD) assembly is coupled to the axial field rotary energy device. The VFD has a flexible conduit that extends between the VFD housing and the axial field rotary energy device. The flexible conduit can adapt to different sizes of axial field rotary energy devices.

  • Publication number: 20250060743
    Abstract: A device, system, and methods are provided for remotely monitoring and managing pump equipment. One or more monitoring devices are configured to provide operational data and geolocation data of monitored equipment. A network device is configured to receive monitoring data from the monitoring devices via different device-specific APIs, perform a data transformation to standardize the monitoring data into standardized data, and store the standardized data in a database. The network device further provides to a user device a user interface to select an asset group of the monitored equipment and receives, from the user device via the user interface, a definition of the asset group. The network device monitors the monitored equipment of the asset group based on the operational data and geolocation data, and provides information to the user device based on the monitoring.

A variable frequency drive (VFD) assembly has a VFD housing and first pads coupled to inductors to facilitate heat removal from the inductors. A concave cradle is coupled to a ferromagnetic core and has a same contour as an outer surface of the ferromagnetic core. A second pad is coupled to a rectifier module. A third pad is coupled to switching devices and has pins to align the switching devices with the third pad. Standoffs are coupled to the VFD housing to support a first printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). A second PCBA is mounted to a shield plate above the first PCBA.

  • Patent number: 12179794
    Abstract: Among other things, we describe techniques for implementing a vehicle response to sensor failure. In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include receiving information from a plurality of sensors coupled to a vehicle, determining that a level of confidence of the received information from at least one sensor of a first subset of sensors of the plurality of sensors is less than a first threshold, comparing a number of sensors in the first subset of sensors to a second threshold, and adjusting the driving capability of the vehicle to rely on information received from a second subset of sensors of the plurality of sensors, wherein the second subset of sensors excludes the at least one sensor of the first subset of sensors.
