A generator injection tool is provided. The generator injection tool injects an adhesive into a generator that includes a rotor positioned within a stator having a stator vent, the stator and rotor having a gap therebetween. The generator injection tool includes a first carriage sized to fit within the gap, a tube, a first motor, a controller, and an adhesive source. An end of the tube is movable between a first position in which the end is outside of the stator vent and a second position within the stator vent. The first motor is operable to move the tube between the first position and the second position. The controller is operable to selectively activate the first motor to position the end of the tube within the stator vent. The adhesive source moves the adhesive through the tube end to inject a portion of the adhesive into the stator vent.

A generator including a stator frame, a plurality of stator donuts including a plurality of circumferentially disposed notches, and a plurality of a wedge assemblies for mounting the stator donuts to a plurality of building bolts is presented. Each wedge assembly includes a set of opposing wedges. The set of opposing wedges are positioned within a notch in a stator donut to create a locking force between a building bolt and the stator core. The wedge assembly also includes a tensioning bolt to set the opposing wedges to a position creating the locking force between the stator core and the building bolt.

Water purification systems including an inlet chamber, a purification module, a purified water outlet, and an impure water outlet. The inlet chamber is configured to receive an input water stream. The purification module includes a purification chamber configured to divide the input water stream into a purified water stream fluidly coupled to the purified water outlet and an impure water stream fluidly coupled to the impure water outlet. The purification chamber includes a first hydrophilic surface and a second hydrophilic surface spaced from the first hydrophilic surface. The first hydrophilic surface and the second hydrophilic surface cooperate to establish purified zones of substantially pure water and an impure zone of impurity concentrated water from the input water stream. The purified water stream is supplied by substantially pure water from the purified zones and the impure water stream is supplied by the impurity concentrated water from the impure zone.

A masking system for a turbine including a first quantity of blades attached to a rotor and arranged adjacent one another to define a blade row with each blade including a blade root, includes a second quantity of center plates. Each center plate is disposed between two adjacent blades and includes a resilient member in contact with each of the two adjacent blades, and a first attachment member operable to attach the center plate to the rotor. The system includes a third quantity of side covers, each side cover positioned adjacent the blade root of one of the blades and connected to one of the center plates, each side cover including a resilient member positioned to surround a portion of the adjacent blade root, and a second attachment member operable to attach the side cover to the rotor.

A tool system for tightening a retrightenable wedge system in a slot of a generator stator core is presented. The tool system includes a carriage assembly and a wedge tool assembly that is pivotally coupled to the carriage assembly. The carriage assembly includes motorized drives that axially moves the tool system along the slot and holds the tool system on the slot at an axial position. The wedge tool assembly includes a torqueing socket to tighten the retightenable wedge assembly in the slot. The torqueing socket is driven by a worm gear arrangement.

A retightenable wedge system for tightening a coil in a slot of a generator stator bar is presented. The retightenable wedge system includes a first filler layer, a spring member, a second filler layer and a retightenable wedge assembly. The retightenable wedge assembly includes a slot wedge having an aperture, a tightening member having form fit feature and a locking member having mating form fit feature. The tightening member is tightenable in the aperture such that a radial load is applied on the second filler layer for tightening the coil in the slot. The tightening member is locked in place in the aperture by an engagement between the form fit feature of the tightening member and the mating form fit feature of the locking member such that the tightening member is restrained from backing out of the slot wedge.

Flow cytometer sorter chassis

Flow cytometer chassis

A method and system of determining a vehicle's driving characteristics such as the vehicle mass, drag force coefficients and driving surface inclination. The vehicle's mass, drag force coefficients and inclination are determined using signals input from the vehicle's accelerometer.

Mass, drag coefficient and inclination determination using accelerometer sensor

A method and system of improving shift event performance in a vehicle with an automatic transmission. One or more accelerometers in the vehicle are used to sense one or more longitudinal acceleration values. The longitudinal acceleration values or values derived therefrom are compared with predetermined stored values. Shift event behavior is changed in response to differences between the one or more longitudinal acceleration values or values derived therefrom and the predetermined stored values.
