20110075938 | IDENTIFYING IMAGE ABNORMALITIES USING AN APPEARANCE MODEL - The identification of known normal structures within an image is preferably accomplished using an appearance model. Specifically, an active appearance model, which encapsulates a complete model of the shape and global texture variations of an object from a collection of samples, is utilized to define normal structures within an image by restricting training samples supplied to the active appearance model during a training phase to those that do not contain abnormal structures. Accordingly, the trained appearance model represents only normal variations in the object of interest. When another image with abnormalities is presented to the system, the appearance model cannot synthesize the abnormal structures which show up as errors in a residual image. Accordingly, the errors in the residual image represent potential abnormalities. | 03-31-2011 |

20110074236 | Self Contained Bearing Lubrication System for High Speed Induction Motor Operating on Oil Ring Lubricated Hydrodynamic Bearings - A lubrication system for an electrodynamic machine, for example an induction motor that has a housing including therein an internal oil sump and at least one oil ring hydrodynamic bearing, wherein the oil ring is in fluid communication with oil in the internal oil sump and replenishes oil in the bearing. The lubrication system functions independently and in parallel to the oil ring lubrication system and includes an electrically powered oil sump pump that is oriented within the internal oil sump. An oil intake is coupled to the oil sump pump and is in fluid communication with oil in the internal sump. An oil discharge line having a proximal end is coupled to the sump pump discharge. The distal end of the discharge line is oriented proximal the motor bearing, so that oil discharged therefrom replenishes oil in the bearing and shaft journal interface. The lubrication system oil discharge parameters are independent of the motor speed, load or physical orientation, and may be varied by a controller coupled to the oil sump pump. | 03-31-2011 |
20110074242 | Method of Tuning Bending and Torsion Stiffness of Ducted Rotor Core of An Induction Motor - Electrodymamic machine rotating mass, including for example induction motor rotors, stiffness tuning methods include selective orientation and compression of modular tie rod assemblies into through bores formed in the rotor lamination core outboard of the rotor shaft during motor manufacture, repair or refurbishment. Stiffness tuning enables a motor manufacturer to tune a rotor's rotordynamic stability, and hence the assembled motor's critical vibration speed. Electrodynamic machine rotating mass tuning can be adjusted in response to machine physical design, operational application and manufacturing variation attributes that impact the assembled machine's critical vibration frequency. Thus the present invention offers a systematic, holistic approach to motor vibration refinement through use of a simple kit of modular tie rod assemblies oriented and tightened in a selected array. Rotor stiffness tuning can be tested virtually on computer work stations. Additional actual rotor stiffness tuning can be performed during manufacture. | 03-31-2011 |
20110285233 | INDUCTION MACHINE BEARING SYSTEM - A bearing assembly for an induction machine, such as an alternating current motor, includes a magnetic bearing for supporting a rotating shaft. An auxiliary bearing, also supporting the shaft in the event of magnetic bearing failure, is aligned with the motor end shield and frame so that shaft loads supported thereby are transferred to the frame in a manner that reduces likelihood of magnetic bearing contact with the shaft or its deformation. The bearing assembly may incorporate shock absorbing and vibration damping/isolation elements, such as o-rings, between the auxiliary bearing and its support structure interface to the frame. The auxiliary bearing may be incorporated in a removable cartridge for ease of machine maintenance. The bearing assembly may include heat dissipating fins. | 11-24-2011 |

20120211300 | SYSTEM METHOD AND DEVICES FOR WINDAGE NOISE DAMPING IN INDUCTION MOTOR - A rotor windage noise damping system for an induction motor cooling vent. A duct having a duct airflow path has a proximal end opening in communication with the cooling vent, and the distal end opening is for communication with ambient air. The duct includes a plurality of baffles. The baffles are oriented in a generally parallel mutually spaced symmetrical or asymmetrical array relative to each other and the duct airflow path. Dimensions for baffle array symmetry or asymmetry, parallel spacing, baffle thickness and baffle inset from one of the duct openings are chosen to restrict distance between adjacent baffles to less than a wavelength of windage noise at selected propagation frequencies, yet provide for sufficient cooling airflow through the duct. The duct may be tuned to dampen selected propagation frequencies by changing the baffle array. | 08-23-2012 |
