A module-handling tool for facilitating installation, servicing, and/or dismantling of a electromagnetic rotary machine, such as an electrical power generator or electric motor, having a modularized active portion. In one embodiment, module-handling tool is configured for a machine having a modularized stator having a number of removable modules. In one example of such stator-module-handling tool, the tool is designed and configured to hold a stator module and be temporarily secured to the rotor of the machine during the process of installing the stator module into the machine or removing the module from the machine. In this example, the module-handling tool also acts as a module carrier for transporting a module to or from the machine.

An apparatus and method for cooling the rotor in an electromechanical machine such as a wind turbine generator is disclosed. Fluid cooling passages may be formed in the rotor, defined at least in part by a support member for magnets mounted on the rotor. Cooling fluid intake may be through the stator surrounding the rotor.

An apparatus for bonding semiconductor structures includes equipment for positioning a first surface of a first semiconductor structure directly opposite and in contact with a first surface of a second semiconductor structure and equipment for forming a bond interface area between the first surfaces of the first and second semiconductor structures by pressing the first and second semiconductor structures together with a force column configured to apply uniform pressure to the entire bond interface area between the first surfaces.
