Liquid deflecting baffle for an electric motor

A fluid deflecting baffle is provided for use on an electric motor to be used in an environment where liquid may otherwise pass through a vent opening in an endshield of the motor. The baffle is secureable to the endshield and extends in a partial covering relationship with the vent opening. The baffle includes a vent passage therethrough and has at least one liquid flow obstructing louver that extends across the vent opening to deflect liquid away from the vent passage while allowing venting air to flow through the vent passage. The louver includes a generally flat liquid deflection surface that is disposed at an oblique angle relative to the axis of the motor and at least partially faces a venting direction of incoming air and fluid.

Photoelectric encoder and electronic equipment

The photoelectric encoder of the present invention has a light-emitting device and light-receiving devices arranged in one direction in a region that light from the light-emitting device can reach. When a moving object that alternately has a light-on portion that produces a state in which light is incident on the light-receiving device and a light-off portion that produces a state in which light is not incident on the light-receiving device passes at a prescribed movement frequency in the one direction, an output of each of the light-receiving devices takes a value corresponding to the incidence or nonincidence of light on the light-receiving device. A logical operating section carries out operation of the logical values expressed by the outputs of the light-receiving devices to form an output signal that has a frequency different from the movement frequency.

Survey system

[Problem] In a surveying instrument that automatically tracks or collimates a target, the target that is moved to a measurement point and is placed there can be found in the shortest possible time. [Solution Means] In a survey system made up of a target (60) and a surveying instrument (50) that automatically tracks or collimates the target, the target is provided with a direction angle sensor (86) that measures a surveying-instrument direction angle (θta, θtb) obtained when the target is directed toward the surveying instrument, whereas the surveying instrument is provided with a horizontal angle measuring portion that measures a target direction angle (θsa, θsb, θsc) indicating the direction of the target. An estimated target direction angle (θsb) is calculated from an angular difference (θo0) between the surveying-instrument direction angle (θta) and the target direction angle (θsa) obtained at the last measurement and from the surveying-instrument direction angle (θtb) obtained at the present measurement. The instrument body (52) is directed in the direction of the estimated target direction angle.

Method for lateral adjustment of a directly driven load without shifting the entire drive assembly

This invention uses a combination of a rotor (rotating) component of an electromagnet motor that is integrated as part of a driven rotational load and immersed within an longer stator (stationary) component of the motor allowing for axial motion of the load (rotor) independent of the motor stator and housing. An alternative covered by this disclosure is a rotor that is longer relative to the length of the stator. The directly driven load provides improved rigidity for torque transmission and superior control performance. The axial motion capability lends itself to other functions such as printing sleeve removal for exchange purposes in a flexographic press.

Electrochemical processing of solid materials in fused salt

The subject invention pertains to methods for processing a solid material (M1X) comprising a solid solution of a non-metal species (X) in a metal or semi-metal (M1) or a compound between the non-metal species and the metal or semi-metal is immersed in a molten salt (M2Y). A cathodic potential is applied to the material to remove a portion of the non-metal species by electro-deoxidation. To remove the non-metal species at lower concentrations, a source of a reactive metal (M3) is immersed in the molten salt and is electronically connected to the material. Reactions occur at the material, where the non-metal species dissolves in the salt, and at the reactive metal, which reacts with the non-metal species dissolved in the salt to form a reaction product more stable than a compound between the non-metal species and the metal or semi-metal (M1). The non-metal species is thus removed from the solid material.
