International Classification:

B28C 7/04

US Classification:

366019000

Abstract:

An apparatus for mixing a dry mix masonry component and a liquid component to produce a masonry composition is disclosed along with associated methods of using the apparatus. A method may include providing a flexible container having an opening for receiving the dry mix component and the liquid component and for removing the mixed masonry composition. A method may include providing a measuring container including a flexible body member and at least a first marking corresponding to a desired volume of the liquid component for a first amount of the dry mix masonry component, the first marking including a first level corresponding to a first application of the masonry composition and a second level corresponding to a second application of the masonry composition

US Patent:

Filed:

Sep 23, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/718662

Inventors:

Robert A. Dunlap - Fort Wayne IN

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Fort Wayne IN

International Classification:

H02K 1502

US Classification:

29598

Abstract:

A skew angle setting tool and method for assisting in orienting the skew pin of an apparatus having a mandrel for stacking rotor laminations for dynamoelectric machines is described. The skew pin is movable to have at least one predetermined angular orientation with respect to the axis of the mandrel. The tool includes a first member configured to be positioned in a generally coextensive relation with the mandrel and has at least one location thereon corresponding to a preselected rotor lamination stack height, and a second member disposed in predetermined relation to the location on the first member corresponding to the preselected rotor lamination stack height. The skew pin is positionable in registration with one or more locations on the second member to orient the skew pin in corresponding angular orientations with respect to the mandrel axis.

Appl. No.:

8/949813

Inventors:

Robert A. Dunlap - Fort Wayne IN

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Fort Wayne IN

International Classification:

G01N 2100

US Classification:

356237

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for automated inspection of stator cores are described. In one embodiment, a coherent light transmitter and a light detector are optically aligned so that the detector is in the path of an optical signal emitted from the light transmitter when such signal propagates substantially uninterrupted. The light transmitter and detector are also spaced from each other at a distance sufficient to allow a stator core to be moved, e. g. , translated or rotated, therebetween. Output signals from the detector are processed to determine whether the core is acceptable.

Appl. No.:

13/919214

Inventors:

- Indianapolis IN, US
Robert Keith Dunlap - Greenwood IN, US
Jeremy Turner - Indianapolis IN, US

International Classification:

F16D 11/14

US Classification:

192 698

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides an actuation assembly for applying a mechanical diode clutch. The clutch includes an outer member, an inner member, and a strut. The actuation assembly includes a plate having an apply portion and a plurality of legs, where each of the plurality of legs has a first end coupled to the apply portion and a second end adapted to couple to a shift sleeve. A mechanism is coupled to the apply portion of the plate. The mechanism includes at least one biasing member. The plate is moveable between an unapply position and an apply position such that a movement from the unapply position to the apply position induces contact between the mechanism and the strut.
