Disclosed are transverse and / or commutated flux machines and components thereof, and methods of making and using the same. Certain exemplary stators for use in transverse and commutated flux machines may be configured with gaps therebetween, for example in order to counteract tolerance stackup. Other exemplary stators may be configured as partial stators having a limited number of magnets and / or flux concentrators thereon. Partial stators may facilitate ease of assembly and / or use with various rotors. Additionally, exemplary floating stators can allow a transverse and / or commutated flux machine to utilize an air gap independent of the diameter of a rotor. Via use of such exemplary stators, transverse and / or commutated flux machines can achieve improved performance, efficiency, and / or be sized or otherwise configured for various applications.

Disclosed are single- and poly-phase transverse and / or commutated flux machines and components thereof, and methods of making and using the same. Exemplary devices, including polyphase devices, may variously be configured with an interior rotor and / or an interior stator. Other exemplary devices, including polyphase devices, may be configured in a slim, stacked, and / or nested configuration. Via use of such polyphase configurations, transverse and / or commutated flux machines can achieve improved performance, efficiency, and / or be sized or otherwise configured for various applications.

A method and apparatus of comparing two or more welding flux systems to determine which flux system results in the smallest incidence of undercut about a weld bead in an inner diameter of a pipe.

A granular flux having controlled amounts of titanium and boron to facilitate in the formation of a weld metal having a high toughness without requiring refinement of the weld metal by reheating the weld metal, and enabling the slag to be easily removed from the weld bead.

A fluid flux measurement system that includes a heated element fluid flow sensor that is capable of being repositioned relative to a mean fluid flux direction is disclosed. The repositioning may be performed by a motor interconnected to the heated element fluid flow sensor. The heated element fluid flow sensor may be positioned proximate to the measurement region of a sonic anemometer and may be operable to be repositioned relative to the sonic anemometer. The heated element fluid flow sensor may be a three-dimensional hot-film constant temperature anemometer. The fluid flux system may be operable to measure small-scale turbulent fluxes in uncontrolled environments such as remotely located atmospheric monitoring stations. The heated element fluid flow sensor may be calibrated in-situ with data collected by the sonic anemometer.

A granular flux formulated to reduce copper cracking in a weld bead. The granular flux forms a slag during a welding process that inhibits or prevents migration of molten copper migration through the slag.

An electrical machine stator assembly comprises: an electroconductive coil arranged circumferentially with respect to the rotational axis; a plurality of pairs of side lamination assemblies arranged circumferentially with respect to the rotational axis; a plurality of pairs of switch lamination assemblies arranged circumferentially with respect to the rotational axis and positioned adjacent ends of side lamination assemblies proximal the rotor; and at least one tooth associated with each switch lamination assembly and proximal the rotor. Each switch lamination assembly comprises a first group of laminated materials aligned generally circumferentially and generally in a first direction with respect to the rotational axis, the first direction being one selected from the group consisting of the axial and radial directions with respect to the rotational axis. Each side lamination assembly comprises a second group of laminated materials aligned generally axially and generally radially with respect to the rotational axis.
