Dovetail spoke internal permanent magnet machine

Patent Alexander, James Pellegrino [Ballston Lake, NY]; EL-Refaie, Ayman Mohamed Fawzi [Niskayuna, NY]; Lokhandwalla, Murtuza [Clifton Park, NY]; ...

An internal permanent magnet (IPM) machine is provided. The IPM machine includes a stator assembly and a stator core. The stator core also includes multiple stator teeth. The stator assembly is further configured with stator windings to generate a stator magnetic field when excited with alternating currents and extends along a longitudinal axis with an inner surface defining a cavity. The IPM machine also includes a rotor assembly and a rotor core. The rotor core is disposed inside the cavity and configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis. The rotor assembly further includes a shaft. The shaft further includes multiplemore » « less

Gimbaled multispectral imaging system and method

Patent Brown, Kevin H.; Crollett, Seferino; Henson, Tammy D.; ...

A gimbaled multispectral imaging system and method is described herein. In an general embodiment, the gimbaled multispectral imaging system has a cross support that defines a first gimbal axis and a second gimbal axis, wherein the cross support is rotatable about the first gimbal axis. The gimbaled multispectral imaging system comprises a telescope that fixed to an upper end of the cross support, such that rotation of the cross support about the first gimbal axis causes the tilt of the telescope to alter. The gimbaled multispectral imaging system includes optics that facilitate on-gimbal detection of visible light and off-gimbal detectionmore » of infrared light. « less

Hub and spoke system for detecting and locating gas leaks

Patent Rieker, Gregory B.; Coddington, Ian; Newbury, Nathan R.; ...

A system for detecting gas leaks and determining their location and size. A data gathering portion of the system utilizes a hub and spoke configuration to collect path-integrated spectroscopic data over multiple open paths around an area. A processing portion of the system applies a high resolution transport model together with meteorological data of the area to generate an influence function of possible leak locations on gas detector measurement paths, and applies an inversion model to the influence function and the spectroscopic data to generate gas source size and location.
