Abstract: Described are methods of making a thermoplastic core paint roller using a composite cover material having a backing made from a compound comprising a polypropylene-based elastomer and calcium carbonate having between 5% and 50% calcium carbonate by weight. One or various compounds of polypropylene and calcium carbonate having between 5% and 66% calcium carbonate by weight may be used to form portions of one or multiple components that make up the paint roller, including, for example, the thermoplastic strips and/or the adhesives. The materials can be assembled in a continuous manufacturing process.

Abstract: In a method for manufacturing an axial air-gap electronic motor, a plurality of core member and a plurality of dummy members are prepared, wherein each of the dummy members has a shape same as that of the core members. Then, the plurality of core members is arranged such that teeth surfaces of the core members face each other, and the dummy member is arranged between predetermined core members. Thereafter, a coil is wound from one end side toward the other end side of the core members through the dummy member continuously without cutting. A part of the coil corresponding to a transition wire set between the core members is wound on the dummy member.

Abstract: A winding apparatus for a segmented core having a plurality of stator teeth includes a mounting fixture configured to support select ones of the plurality of stator teeth. The mounting fixture is configured to rotate about an axis defined by each of the plurality of stator teeth. The winding apparatus also includes a plurality of stator tooth holding elements operatively connected to the mounting fixture. Each of the plurality of stator tooth holding elements are configured to retain a select one of the plurality of a stator teeth relative to the mounting fixture. The mounting fixture is selectively rotated about the axis of at least one of the plurality of teeth to apply wraps of wire to the one of the plurality of stator teeth while at the same time rotating others of the plurality of stator teeth that have already been wrapped with wire.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, an electromechanical device is provided with N sets of stator segments, each segment comprising a respective, separate bobbin, the N sets of segments being wound with a single continuous length of wire for each set such that the segments of each set are electrically in series. The electromechanical device, in certain embodiments, has the N sets of segments combined in a common circumferentially adjacent circular arrangement, wherein the single continuous length of wire of each segment is maintained on the bobbin on which the wire was wound.

Abstract: A wire winding device for electrical components has a transmission member, a wire feeding member, a wire winding member, a spool feeding member, and a driving member. Spools are respectively inserted into the wire winding member via the spool feeding member and rotated by the driving member. Wires are moved into the wire winding member via the wire feeding member and inserted into the spool. Hence, the wire can be encircled the spool automatically.

Abstract: A method of constructing a segmented wound member of an N phase electromechanical device comprises winding N sets of segments and combining the N sets of segments in a common circular arrangement to form the wound member. The N sets of segments are wound with a single continuous length of wire for each set. Each of the N sets of segments is wound separately from the remaining sets of segments and then combined in the common circular arrangement with the remaining sets of segments to form the wound member.

Abstract: An apparatus and method to fabricate a photosensitive drum for an image forming apparatus. The apparatus includes a photosensitive belt supply roll and a double-sided tape supply roll; a bonding unit to bond a photosensitive belt and a double-sided tape together; a cutting unit to cut the bonded photosensitive belt and double-sided tape at a predetermined length from a double-sided tape cover; a rotating unit to rotate the cut photosensitive belt and double-sided tape around a rotary drum having a predetermined size; and a winding unit to wind the double-sided tape cover which is separated from the photosensitive belt and the double-sided tape. An inexpensive photosensitive belt is wound on a large-sized rotary drum by applying tension. Thus, it is possible to mass-produce the photosensitive drum at a low cost.

Abstract: A method and system for winding optical fiber. In an embodiment, the method and system can be used to tune a fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) for a desired eigenfrequency and/or scale factor. A FOG assembly can include an inner coil that can have a normal and a reverse breakout point, a normal and a reverse lead emanating therefrom, and a normal and a reverse splice that can be connected at normal and reverse connection points. The coil can be wrapped to include a reversal where the reverse section of fiber changes direction in which it is wrapped on a spool. The fiber length can be adjusted based on the desired eigenfrequency.
