Inventor: LUMINI ANTONIO
IPC: H02K15/00
Filed: 2001-07-11
Abstract: In systems for winding wire on electrodynamic machine stators, stators may be transferred between stator conveyance apparatus, winding shroud installation and removal apparatus, wire winding apparatus, wire lead termination apparatus, or other apparatus. Some transfer devices may secure stators in housings fixed to arms that may be rotated around an axis to move stators between stations. Some transfer devices may have stator grasping devices that may be rotated and translated to move stators between stations. Wire winding shrouds may be secured to stator to facilitate winding and released from stator after wire is wound on the stator. A device for securing shrouds to the stator may be fixed to the stator and may remain fixed to the stator during transfer between different apparatus. Some devices for securing shrouds and stators may be integrated into housings. Some housings may be fixed to transfer devices along one side of the housing.

Title: Optical/electrical jack receptacle
Inventor: LAMPERT NORMAN R
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 2001-10-10
Abstract: An optical cable tracing system is constructed using an optical/electrical (hybrid) cable [10] containing both optical and electrical transmission media.  This cable provides desirably high bandwidth via optical fibers [15] while connection accuracy is provided via electrical wires [13], which are used to operate indicator lights [941] at one or both ends of the cable. A hybrid plug connector [300] terminates the cable at each end and includes a dielectric housing [20, 30]  that encloses the optical fiber (glass or plastic), which extends through a front opening [21] in the housing. A single cantilever latch [22] is mounted on a top-side of the housing that is adapted to engage a mating jack receptacle [440] in a locking relationship. A conductor-holding apparatus is molded into the bottom side of the housing where it holds a number of insulated electrical conductors and metallic blade terminals [36] that pierce the insulation and make electrical contact with each of the conductors. The mating jack receptacle includes a row of spaced wire springs [449] at the entrance of the optical connecting portion of the receptacle. The wire springs either extend to an opposite side of the receptacle to provide electrical interconnection between a pair of hybrid plug connectors, or the wire springs are arrayed to fit into a printed wiring board [710] for interconnection with electrical circuitry [730] thereon.

Patent CA-2361947-A1 (CA)
Title: Lateral mode stabilizer for coriolis flowmeter
Inventor: OLLILA CURTIS JOHN
IPC: G01F1/84
Filed: 2000-01-20
Abstract: Signal processing of Coriolis flowmeter output signals is improved by increasing the frequency separation between the flow tube drive frequency and unwanted lateral mode vibration frequencies. A cylindrical lateral mode stabilizer surrounds the flow tube near each flow tube end and is positioned between the flow tube and a surrounding balance bar. Axially lateral extensions on opposing circumferential sides of each lateral mode stabilizer element stiffen the flow tube ends for only lateral vibrations. This raises the lateral mode vibration frequency of the flow tube while leaving the drive mode frequency relatively unaffected.
