Abstract: An axial flux electric machine comprises a rotor assembly configured to rotate about an axis of rotation. A stator core is coupled to the rotor assembly. The stator core comprises a stator core base and a plurality of circumferentially-spaced stator teeth extending from the base in a direction parallel to the axis. Each stator tooth of the plurality of stator teeth comprises a top surface, a pair of opposing circumferential sides, and a chamfered portion defined at an intersection of the top surface and each of the pair of opposing sides. The chamfered portion facilitates reducing an amount of torque ripple produced by the axial flux electric motor.

Abstract: A water heater system comprises a water tank, a burner plenum, a flue, a blower, a combustion air passageway, a dilution air passageway, an upstream manifold, and a downstream manifold. The upstream manifold divides air from the blower so that some air flows through the combustion air passageway to the burner plenum and some air flows through the dilution air passageway to the downstream manifold. The downstream manifold combines the air from the dilution air passageway with combustion products from the flue.

Abstract: A motor comprises a stator assembly, a rotor assembly having a stator core, and a stator cup adjacent the stator core. The inside surface of the stator cup comprises a plurality of aligned regions and a plurality of pressure regions. Each of the plurality of aligned regions is axially aligned with a corresponding one of a plurality of fastener-engaging regions of the stator cup. Each of the plurality of pressure regions is spaced from each of the plurality of aligned regions. A plurality of fastening portions operatively engages the fastener-engaging regions and operatively engages the stator core in a manner urging the stator core and the stator cup toward one another. Urging of the stator core and the stator cup toward one another by the plurality of fastening portions causes the stator core to exert pressure on the plurality of pressure regions. The pressure being exerted on the plurality of pressure regions by the stator core as a result of the fastening portions urging the stator core and the stator cup toward one another is greater than pressure being exerted on the plurality of aligned regions by the stator core.

Abstract: Methods and systems of controlling the operation of a pump according to a pump operation schedule are described. In one constructions, a pump controller enters a programming mode and monitors a number of inputs received through a user interface while in the programming mode. The programming mode is then exited and a delay time is defined equal to one hour for each input received through the user interface while in the programming mode. A stored pump operation schedule is accessed and operation of the pump is initiated according to the pump operation schedule after a period of time equal to the delay time has elapsed since exiting the programming mode. Operation of the pump is again initiated according to the accessed pump operation schedule every twenty-four hours since the pump operation schedule was last initiated.
