20110131069 | SYSTEM FOR MANAGING A STABLE VALUE PROTECTED INVESTMENT PLAN - Method and system to track, reconcile and administer the values of life insurance policies in separate accounts, including Stable Value Protected funds. Accordingly, targeted returns are translated into unit values on a daily basis for each fund. Additionally the system tracks restrictions (e.g., timing, amount of withdrawal and amount of reallocations) on a premium-by-premium basis, and tracks the book value, market value, duration and targeted return on a client-by-client basis. The system calculates and tracks the payments and credits applicable to a withdrawal or reallocation request, in addition to the liquidation schedules for each fund based on the payment amounts and credits of specific funds. Additionally, daily unit values are calculated given a periodic targeted return (i.e., a quarterly targeted return). | 06-02-2011 |

20100039060 | TWO SPEED INDUCTION MOTOR WITH TAPPED AUXILIARY WINDING - A six lead, two speed, consequent wound, single phase induction motor with a tapped auxiliary winding having a 2-pole high speed mode and 4-pole low speed mode. A portion of the auxiliary winding is connected in series with the four pole main winding. The 4-pole low speed mode has an efficiency of over 80%. | 02-18-2010 |
20120082573 | ALUMINUM WOUND LINE-START BRUSHLESS PERMANENT MAGNET MOTOR - A line-start brushless permanent magnet motor assembly includes an unconventional combination of a rotor assembly including a plurality of permanent magnets mounted thereon, and a stator assembly including aluminum winding coils. The unique combination of construction features leads to significant motor performance enhancements at lower incremental cost. The line-start brushless permanent magnet motor assembly may be incorporated into a hermetic compressor, such as may be used in an air conditioning system, to meet high efficiency standards (e.g., seasonal efficiency energy rating). The disclosed embodiments have an efficiency of at least 90% with winding coils consisting essentially entirely of aluminum. | 04-05-2012 |

20100013349 | End Turn Phase Insulator with a Lead Wire Restraining Tab and Method of Restraining Lead Wires on Dynamoelectric Devices - A stator comprises a core, a plurality of wire coils, an end turn phase insulator, and at least one lead wire. The wire coils are wound through the slots of the stator and form end turns as they wind from slot to slot. The end turn phase insulator comprises an end turn separating portion and a lead wire restraining tab. The end turn separating portion is sandwiched radially between an inner end turn and an outer end turn. The lead wire restraining tab extends from the end turn separating portion and is partially wrapped over the outer end turn in a manner sandwiching the lead wire between the lead wire restraining tab and the outer end turn. This prevents the lead wire from migrating into the core of the stator. | 01-21-2010 |
