Abstract: An automated technique facilitates winding a stator, such as a stator for a submersible motor of an electric submersible pumping system. According to an embodiment, needles are placed in slots of the stator and a sensor system, e.g. a camera-based vision system, is used to determine the positions of the needles. This data is provided to a control system programmed to assign a predetermined wiring pattern to the needle positions. Based on this predetermined wiring pattern, an automatic feeder system moves a feeder guide into position adjacent the appropriate needles. The automatic feeder system is then operated to feed magnet wire into the corresponding stator slot at the corresponding needle position(s) to achieve a desired winding pattern.

Abstract: A fixing apparatus includes a supporting member defining a through hole and an opening, and a sliding member slidably mounted in the supporting member and including an engaging portion. An operating member is slidably mounted in the supporting member and is configured to slide the sliding member. A first pivoting member is pivotably mounted in the supporting member and is configured to be urged by the operating member. A second pivoting member is pivotably mounted in the supporting member and configured to be rotated by the first pivoting member, so extending a pushing plate out of the opening. In a locked position, the engaging portion extends out of the through hole and the pushing plate is located at a first position. In an unlocked position, the engaging portion is received in the supporting member and the pushing plate is located at a second position.

Abstract: This invention is related to an energy dissipating device for an automobile bumper, which includes two or more energy dissipaters, one or more oil tanks and oil pipes. There is a hollow rod-piston in each energy dissipater, which divides the dissipater into two chambers: a front chamber and a back chamber. In each back chamber a hollow oil-pin is installed with damping holes (oil-holes) on it. Energy dissipaters are filled with oil, and the oil-tank is filled with air. This invention can stand heavy force. When automobiles suffer severe bumping, this device can effectively dissipate bumping energy and reduce the damage to vehicles and personnel to a minimum.
