Filed:

Jan 5, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/477952

Inventors:

Jason J. Hill - Manchester MO

Assignee:

Emerson Electric Co. - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

B65G 1306

US Classification:

198788, 198835, 474197, 474199

Abstract:

In a motorized conveyor pulley of the type comprising a cylindrical pulley drum with axially opposite end plates enclosing an electric motor and drive transmission, the pair of end plates of the pulley are constructed with an increased axial thickness compared to prior art end plates and are supported on a pair of shaft ends by pairs of bearings and are sealed by a pair of lubricant seals between each pair of bearings. The enlarged end plates and the pairs of bearings resist bending loads exerted on the conveyor pulley by the conveyor belt and thereby reduce loading stresses on the motor and drive transmission contained in the pulley permitting more economical manufacture of the motor and drive transmission.

International Classification:

F16H 5704

US Classification:

474 91

Abstract:

A motorized conveyor pulley comprises a cylindrical pulley drum with axially opposite end plates enclosing an electric motor and a drive transmission within the drum. The end plates of the pulley are mounted on a pair of shaft ends that pass through the end plates at the axially opposite ends of the pulley and support the motor and drive transmission in the pulley as well as supporting the pulley drum housing for rotation. As well as the motor and transmission, the pulley drum housing also contains an amount of lubricant that lubricates the bearings and gears of the drive transmission and cools the motor. A passive lubrication collector and manager is mounted in the pulley drum housing and wipes lubricant from the interior surface of the pulley drum housing and then directs the wiped lubricant to the bearings and gears of the drive transmission. The passive lubrication collector and manager is also used in combination with journal collars that support the journal ends of shafts of the drive transmission where the journal collars have openings that are fed with lubricant by the lubrication collector and manager, enabling use of the less expensive sleeve bearings. The cover also shields the motor wiring from the lubricant preventing the lubricant from leaking from the conveyor pulley along the wiring.

Assignee:

Emerson Electric Co. - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

B26D 508

US Classification:

83473, 834772, 83581

Abstract:

A table saw includes a work support table that defines a blade slot therethrough and at least one guide groove oriented generally parallel to the slot. A pair of trunnions are attached to the lower surface of the work support table, with at least one of the trunnions defining an adjustment opening having opposing sides. A cradle assembly has a blade mounted therein driven by a motor, and it is supported by the trunnions such that at least a portion of the blade extends through the slot in the work support surface. To provide adjustment of the blade heel, an adjustment member is received by the adjustment opening in the trunnion and is rotatably attached to the lower surface of the work support table. Rotation of the adjustment member causes the adjustment member to contact one of the opposing sides of the adjustment opening, thus moving the trunnion to adjust the position of the blade relative to the guide groove.

Abstract:

A camera is suitable for installation in a passenger car motor vehicle and is arranged on a superstructure via a retaining device. To make sure that the camera will be advantageously integrated into the motor vehicle, it can be swung by the retaining device out of a resting position sunk into a wall of the superstructure into an extended operating position and vice versa.

US Classification:

2353825, 235380, 235382, 235492

Abstract:

A universal wireless access control and paging system including universal wireless identity devices, fixed RF nodes, location beacons, and other devices which can store access privileges, store and provide personal identification information, record personal activity and presence, and deliver text or audio messages. The key component in the system is the universal identification card which contains wireless communication circuitry, data display circuitry, and a memory circuit for the storage of personal and location information. Further the universal identification card contains a microprocessor coupled to the memory circuitry, the display circuitry and the data communications circuitry. The device also can contain an input means to allow the user to control the card function during operation. This includes the ability to select what personal information can be accessed over the wireless communication means.

Abstract:

System for large area such as citywide telemetry data collection networks using a Mesh network of nodes including a backbone network of nodes, usually powered, and a plurality of sensor nodes, usually battery operated, in the Mesh network to communicate directly or indirectly through other such nodes, to one or more backbone nodes. Power consumption is held very low for the battery powered nodes by only requiring communication over very short distances, and by synchronizing operation of the system with a low duty cycle. The system may be self configuring, such as by using the Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector routing protocol. Two way communication is possible for control and other purposes. Various applications and possible features are disclosed.
