Abstract:
A method and a system for continuously in-line annealing a forwarding ferromagnetic amorphous alloy ribbon in a curved shape to improve its magnetic properties without causing the ribbon to become brittle and which operates at significant high ribbon feeding rates. The amorphous alloy ribbon is fed forward, tensioned and guided along a path at a preset feeding rate and is heated at a point along the path at a rate greater than 10 3 o C/sec to a temperature to initiate a thermal treatment. Then the ribbon is initially cooled at a rate greater than 10 3 o C/sec until the thermal treatment ends. During the thermal treatment, a series of mechanical constraints is applied on the ribbon until the amorphous alloy ribbon adopts a specific shape at rest after the thermal treatment is ended. After the initial cooling, the amorphous alloy ribbon is subsequently cooled at a sufficient rate to a temperature that will preserve the specific shape.
Abstract:
A workstation (200) and method (800) for the installation of a pulling head assembly (100) onto one or more conductors (102) of a cabling system are provided. The workstation (200) incorporates one or more of: a conductor clamp (202) that holds the conductors (102) of the cabling system in place during the installation of the pulling head assembly (100); a cutting guide (204) having indicia marks (504) that indicate the lengths to which to cut the conductors (102) in order to achieve a staggered pattern of pulling eyes (104) attached to the conductors (102) in the pulling head assembly (100); a stripping tool (206) that is used to remove a portion of the insulation from the terminal end of each conductor (102) so that the end of the conductor (102) may be inserted into the pulling eye (104); and a crimping tool (208) that is used to crimp the pulling eyes (104) onto the terminal ends of each of the conductors (102).
Abstract:
A quantity of wire is associated with a number of interruptions that occurred during the production and/or subsequent processing of the wire. The number of interruptions is used to classify the wire as being of a particular quality and/or suitable for a particular task.
Abstract:
A machine to form the heads of coils made of relatively large rectangular wire so that it fits within the slots of the stator of an electric machine is described herein. The machine receives a coil having unformed first and second heads separated by first and second legs and apply controlled deformation thereto to yield properly shaped heads. The machine comprises first and second leg support mechanisms for gripping the first and second legs and four head forming elements for contacting portions of the heads of the wire coil while the first and second legs are gripped by the leg support. The head forming elements are mounted to the first and second leg support mechanisms for relative movement therebetween. Actuators, coupled to a controller so as to be controlled therefrom are provided for moving the head forming elements and the first and second heads between spaced apart relationships and forming relationships.
Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Windenergieanlage mit einem (Ring-) Generator, der einen Stator aufweist, bei dem am inneren oder äusseren Umfang voneinander beabstandet Nuten zur Aufnahme einer Statorwicklung ausgebildet sind. Um einen Stator mit einer Wicklung zu schaffen, bei dem die Störanfälligkeit infolge der hohen Belastung des Generators wenigstens verringert ist, ist die Statorwicklung ohne Unterbrechung durchgängig gewickelt.
Abstract:
An apparatus and process is disclosed for making fine metallic fiber tow (20) comprising the steps of cladding an array of metallic wires (30) with an array cladding material (35) to provide an array cladding (60). The array cladding is drawn for reducing the diameter thereof and for reducing the corresponding diameters of each of the metallic wires of the array within the array cladding for producing an array of fine metallic fibers (70). A series of bends (90-94) is formed in the array cladding. The array cladding is placed onto a support (110) with the series of bends creating spaces between adjacent portions of the array cladding to minimize the number of direct contacts between adjacent portions of the array cladding. The array cladding material is subsequently removed for producing metallic fiber tow.
Abstract:
Continuous production facilities for producing mechanical-structure carbon steel or alloy steel wires excellent in cold working features, which can easily realize a control rolling conventionally considered difficult with a block mill, and enables an efficient control rolling and slow cooling by effectively combining in-line the control rolling facility with a slow cooling facility, the facilities comprising, all connected continuously and sequentially, a hot rolling mill for wires, a winding device for winding rolled wires and forming them into rings, a bundling device for bundling wound wires into coils, and an inline heat treating furnace for slowly cooling the bundled, coiled wires, and using, as a final finishing mill of the hot rolling mill, a block mill preferably having a reduction of area of 25 to 60% and up to four roll stands.

Systems and methods of the present invention employ helically corrugated jackets to enhance communication cable alien crosstalk characteristics. A data cable may be newly constructed with an improved helically corrugated jacket.
Abstract:
A phosphorescent power conducting device (20) including an electricity conductor (8, 10, 14) with a glow-in-the-dark jacket (2). The jacket is formed from a resinous material mixed with a color concentrate. The jacket (2) glows after exposure to light so as to increase visibility of the conducting device (20).
