Abstract: A method of manufacturing transformer windings embedded in casting resin is disclosed which utilizes an integrated winding mandrel for producing a non-standard oval shaped epoxy encapsulated low voltage coil for dry type distribution transformers. The method includes a process of winding a low voltage coil of alternate layers of copper conductor (24) and insulating tape (26), over a disposable mold formed by wrapping steel sheet material over inner mold support plates (14), the formed mold acting as both a winding mandrel and as an inner mold (20) for epoxy encapsulation. Both the inner and outer molds are made of low cost sheet metal utilizing a 'wrap and band' process. The complete winding and molding processes can all be conducted utilizing a conventional square mandrel shaft (12) on a standard coil winding machine (10).

Abstract: A signal processing technique that allows the flame signal from a first source of flame and the flame signal from a second source of flame to be discriminated from each other when only both the first and second flame signals are viewed by the same flame scanner. The signal from the flame scanner is processed to enhance one or more of the attributes associated with the first flame and is simultaneously processed to enhance one or more attributes associated with the second flame.

Abstract: A method and apparatus and for detecting faults in components of a continuous process such as a steam generator. A model of the process is developed using a modeling technique such as advanced pattern recognition and the model is used to generate predicted values for a predetermined number of the operating parameters of the process. Statistical process control methods are used to determine if the difference between the predicted and actual measured values for one or more of the parameters exceeds a configured statistical limit. A rule set is used to indicate an actual or probable fault in a component of the continuous process.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a tranformer coil encapsulated in casting resin utilizing a disposable casting mold where the disposable mold acts both as a winding mandrel and as an inner mold shell (12) for resin encapsulation. The disposable casting mold may be oval shaped or circular shaped depending upon the desired shape of the coils to be encapsulated. The inner (12) and outer (24) mold shells are made from thin sheet metal and thus may be adjusted for the manufacture of a wide variety of sizes of oval shaped or circular shaped epoxy encapsulated coils. The inner mold (12) has flanges (12a) which may be secured mechanically. The ends of theinner mold support bars (18) are connected to spacer bars (20) bybolts. The outer mold (24) is of a one piece construction with an integrated dome and tap area (26). A pre-pregnated glass net (32) may be installed over the finished coil winding to provide anouter layer of glass net which may be applied radially.

Abstract: Beta gauge composition correction is performed using signals from a plurality of detectors (32) that are positioned so that the ratio of radiation received by the detectors depends on the composition of material through which the radiation passes before reaching the detectors. Radiation is measured at the detectors and the differences between radiation received by the detectors is used to compensate the beta gauge to correct for composition variations. An array (A) of detectors is divided into inner detectors (I) generally aligned with the central portion of a beta radiation beam (22b) and at least one set of outer detectors (O) surrounding, at least in part, the inner detectors. Measurements are made including all the detectors, the inner detectors and the at least one set of outer detectors with the difference between the measurements made by the inner detectors and the outer detectors being used to compensate the total measurement made by all the detectors.

Abstract: A web making machine (108) is monitored to identify at least one cross-machine direction (CD) actuator (126) that is developing local mapping problems. The identified CD actuator and a segment of surrounding actuators are probed to determine a performance curve (227) for the actuator. The center of an insensitivity region of the performance curve is selected as an optimal mapping alignment setting for the identified actuator with the setting for the actuator being updated. Global smoothing may also be accomplished by probing a global smoothness factor to generate a corresponding performance curve that is then similarly used to select an optimal value for the smoothness factor.

Abstract: A powder spraying gun generates a desired pattern of electrostatically charged particles for coating a workpiece without rotating parts or particle deflectors. The powder pattern is generated with a funnel-shaped output in conjunction with air introduced into a powder charging chamer of the gun in a tangential swirling motion. The swirling air is additionally used to purge agglomerated powder particles from the charging electrodes in the charging chamber. The charging chamber surface is fashioned from material exhibiting low friction or high resistance to powder impact fusion.

Abstract: A non-contact system (10) for sensing a property of a passing web of material (W) includes first and second sensors (14, 16) positioned on opposite sides of the web. The opposing sensors are repelled from the web and each other by gas bearings (22, 24) formed between the sensors and the web and attracted to each other by one or more polarized magnets (26, 25a, 25d, 25a', 27a-27d, 27a') embedded in the sensors. The resultant net force properly spaces the sensors from the web to ensure reliable and accurate sensing. The repelling force enables the sensors to react substantially instantaneously to changes in the pass line of the web. An automatic actuator/retractor (30) can be provided to withdraw the sensors, extend the sensors to or retract the sensors from adjacent the feed path.

Abstract: A powder paint color changer features a single cleaning fluid port at one end of the color changer manifold (106) for direction of cleaning fluid, such as pressurized air, through the main output interior chamber of the color changer manifold thence through a supply hose (103) which is adapted for coupling to a paint application device (102). Additionally, the powder paint color changer manifold includes a replaceable insert of impact fusion resistant material which defines the surface of the manifold's interior cavity.
