20120294111 | EDDY CURRENT MOTOREDDY CURRENT COUPLING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE - The present disclosure relates to an motor that may be used to stir or agitate a material without the drive components of the motor making direct contact with said material. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to an motor and a method of using such to stir or agitate a food material while insulating the drive components of the motor, and preventing them from coming into direct contact with the food material. The present disclosure has particular application to agitation of materials which should not come into direct contact with the drive components for safety or cleanliness purposes, such as ice cream or slushies, as well as materials with which contact is generally discouraged, such as biomedically pure substances or harsh chemicals. | 11-22-2012 |
20120297908 | LINEAR ACTUATOR WITH ANTI-ROTATION MECHANISM - An assembly comprises a housing, a motor within the housing, and a thrust tube with an anti-rotation mechanism. The motor comprises a hollow rotor. An externally threaded screw shaft is coupled to the hollow rotor for rotation therewith. An internally threaded nut is coupled to the externally threaded screw shaft, wherein rotation of the screw shaft causes the nut to move axially. The thrust tube is operably connected with the nut, and the anti-rotation mechanism is attached to the thrust tube to substantially prevent rotation relative the housing. | 11-29-2012 |
20140311261 | HIGH STIFFNESS THRUST COMPONENT FOR LINEAR ACTUATOR - An apparatus comprises an actuator having a motor, a housing and a thrust rod, where the actuator is configured to convert rotational motion of the motor into axial motion of the thrust rod. A movable holder is coupled to the thrust rod, and configured for axial motion of a tool coupling therewith. A bearing assembly is coupled to the actuator, extending along an axis thereof. The bearing assembly is configured to engage with the bearing to provide positional stability for the movable holder and tool coupling, when positioned along the actuator axis by motion of the thrust rod. | 10-23-2014 |
20150365022 | COUPLED CAPACITIVE AND MAGNETIC SERVO MOTOR SYSTEMS - A motor system comprises a rotor shaft, and a magnetic drive motor and a capacitive drive motor. An engagement system is configured for selectively engaging one or both of the magnetic drive motor and the capacitive drive motor with the rotor shaft, in order to rotate the rotor shaft at a desired rotational speed and generate a desired output torque. An actuator may be coupled to the rotor shaft in order to convert the rotational speed and/or output torque (or a rotational position of the rotor shaft) for operation on a load, for example to position the load rotationally or linearly with respect to the rotor axis, or to exert a force or torque on the load. | 12-17-2015 |

20110154757 | TOWER SECTION FOR A WIND TURBINE TOWER - The invention relates to a tower section for assembling a wind turbine tower. The tower section comprises a flange at least at one end of the tower section. The flange is provided with holes for the connection elements. The flange have a first array of holes, where each hole is arranged in a first angle (α) relative to a longitudinal axis of the tower section, and a second array of holes, where each hole is arranged in a second angle (β) relative to the longitudinal axis. The first angle (α) is different from the second angle (β). The invention also relates to a foundation comprising a flange, where the flange of the foundation has characteristics corresponding to the characteristics of the tower section flange. The invention also relates to a wind turbine tower and to a wind turbine. | 06-30-2011 |
20110168654 | METHOD FOR HANDLING AND/OR SERVICING COMPONENTS OF A WIND TURBINE AND A GRIPPING APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD - The Invention relates a method and an apparatus for handling and/or servicing components of a wind turbine, such as installing and/or dismantling components into or from a wind turbine nacelle or such as servicing exterior components such as blades, hub, tower and nacelle of the wind turbine. The gripping apparatus comprising at least one arm for gripping around the wind turbine tower, said at least one arm capable of forming a gap between gripping elements of the gripping apparatus. The at least one arm extends around the entire outer circumference, seen perpendicular to a horizontal plane, of the wind turbine tower. | 07-14-2011 |
20130098859 | CRANE FOR HANDLING OF WIND TURBINE GENERATOR COMPONENTS AND METHOD OF HOISTING OF SUCH A CRANE - A crane capable of handling of major components during installation or servicing of wind turbines, comprises a main body ( | 04-25-2013 |

20150287017 | Systems and Methods for Transacting at an ATM Using a Mobile Device - The disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for transacting at a local financial service provider device using a mobile device. The system may include one or more memory devices storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to receive transaction data associated with a transaction request received from a mobile device associated with a customer. The transaction data may include a customer identifier. Additionally, the instructions may cause the processor to receive authentication data associated with the customer. The authentication data may be provided by the customer operating the mobile device and without requiring the customer to input data directly at the local financial service provider device. The one or more processors may further determine whether the received authentication data authenticates the transaction, authorize the transaction, and provide an indication to the local financial service provider device to perform the transaction. | 10-08-2015 |
20150287018 | Systems and Methods for Transacting at an ATM Using a Mobile Device - The disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for transacting at a local financial service provider device using a mobile device. The system may include one or more processors configured to execute instructions to receive transaction data associated with a transaction request including a customer identifier received from a mobile device associated with the customer. Additionally, the processors may receive authentication data associated with the customer that may be provided by the customer operating the mobile device and without requiring the customer to input data directly at the local financial service provider device. The processors may further determine whether the received authentication data authenticates the transaction, authorize the transaction, and provide an indication to the local financial service provider device to perform the transaction based on a determination that the customer operating the mobile device is physically located within a threshold distance away from the local financial service provider device. | 10-08-2015 |
20150287028 | Systems and Methods for Authenticating Electronic Transactions - The disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for authenticating electronic transactions. A system for authenticating electronic transactions may include one or more memory devices storing instructions and one or more processors configured to receive transaction data associated with a transaction and further associated with a customer. The transaction data includes a customer identifier. The one or more processors may be configured to identify a customer account associated with the customer based on the customer identifier, and determine an authentication tier level associated with the transaction. The authentication tier level may reflect one or more levels of authentication required to authorize the transaction. The one or more processors may be configured to receive authentication data associated with a customer, and determine whether the authentication data satisfies the authentication tier level associated with the transaction and authorize the transaction when the authentication data satisfies the authentication tier level. | 10-08-2015 |
