Solenoid low friction bearing liner
The present disclosure relates to a low friction bearing liner for a solenoid that may include a core layer, a first outer layer overlying a first surface of the core layer, a second outer layer overlying the first outer layer, a first inner layer overlying a second surface of the core layer that is opposite of the first surface of the core layer, and a second inner layer overlying the first inner layer. The first outer layer and the first inner layer may include a fluoropolymer material and may have a melt flow rate of at least about 2 g/10 min at 372° C. The second outer layer and the second inner layer may include a fluoropolymer material distinct from the fluoropolymer material of the first outer layer and may have a surface coefficient of friction of not greater than about 0.2.
Wind turbine
A wind turbine includes a rotor shaft. The rotor shaft is mounted via a bearing assembly having a first bearing ring and a second bearing ring mounted to rotate in relation to the first bearing ring. A hydrostatically supported first friction bearing segment is disposed on the first bearing ring and interacts with a first friction face that is disposed on the second bearing ring. The first friction bearing segment is received in a receptacle pocket of the first bearing ring such that a first compression chamber is formed between the first bearing ring and the first friction bearing segment. The first friction bearing segment is configured such that a second compression chamber is formed between the first friction bearing segment and the second bearing ring, wherein the first compression chamber and the second compression chamber are connected by a duct that runs through the first friction bearing segment.
HINGE ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
An electronic device includes a display, and a hinge assembly foldable together with the display and corresponding to a folding area of the display. The hinge assembly includes a hinge bracket defining first and second hinge axes, first and second rotators connected to the hinge bracket and respectively rotatable about the first and second hinge axes, first and second sliders connected to the hinge bracket, respectively slidable relative to the hinge bracket in a direction parallel with the hinge axes, and spaced apart from each other in the direction, and an elastic member between the first and second sliders and providing an elastic force in the direction. The first and second rotators respectively include first and second helical structures having a helical shape with the first and second hinge axes as a center, and are each connected to the first and second sliders through the first and second helical structures.
Electronic device including flexible display
An example electronic device may comprise a first housing including a first surface and a second surface facing in a direction opposite the first surface, a second housing including a third surface and a fourth surface facing in a direction opposite the third surface, a hinge disposed between the first housing and the second housing configured to provide rotational motion between the first housing and the second housing, and a flexible display disposed from the first surface of the first housing across the hinge to the third surface of the second housing, at least part of the flexible display configured to form a curved surface as the hinge structure is folded, wherein the hinge may include dual-axis hinges configured to provide a first rotational axis allowing the first housing to rotate about the second housing and a second rotational axis allowing the second housing to rotate about the first housing and slides coupled with the first housing and the second housing and configured to provide sliding motion perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the first housing and the second housing.
HINGE STRUCTURE AND FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
The disclosure discloses a foldable electronic device including rotary supports connected to housings, arm parts connected to the rotary supports, and rotary shafts disposed in the arm parts. At least one arm part among the arm parts includes arm cam structures in which fastening holes spaced apart from each other by a predetermined gap are formed. A shape of a cross-section of a rotary shaft inserted into the fastening holes includes flat areas and curved areas when viewed in an axial direction in which the rotary shaft is inserted. The rotary shaft is formed such that a first thickness of a first portion at least partially disposed in one fastening hole among the fastening holes differs from a second thickness of a second portion at least partially disposed in another fastening hole among the fastening holes.
Bearing structure with power feeding path
A bearing structure includes a base-side unit structure provided on a bearing member side, a rotary member-side unit structure relatively rotatable with respect to the base-side unit structure, an arcuate or circumferential conductor provided in one of the base-side unit structure and the rotary member-side unit structure, and a contactor provided in the other of the unit structures and configured to retain an electric conduction state with the conductor and includes a power feeding path configured by a power feeding harness for feeding electric power from a power feeding device of a vehicle to an electric device of the rotary member via the conductor and the contactor.
BEARING ASSEMBLY FOR TRACKER ASSEMBLY AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME
A bearing assembly of a power generation structure including, a rail; and a housing adapted to support the rail; where the housing includes a fixed housing portion attached to a support beam, and an adjustable housing portion attached to rail, where a low friction material is present at an interface between an exterior surface of rail and an interior surface of the adjustable housing portion, where the adjustable housing portion is capable of self-aligning adjustment of at least a portion of the rail out of alignment with a central axis of the support beam.
CREEP MITIGATION IN BALL-BEARING SYSTEMS
A head-mounted display includes a varifocal actuation block and an optics block coupled to the varifocal actuation block. An anti-creep system located in the varifocal actuation block includes a plurality of anti-creep mechanisms that are configured to prevent bearing ball creep associated with bearing balls in the varifocal actuation block. The bearing balls are used to move a movable carriage that is coupled to a fixed carriage in the head-mounted display via the anti-creep mechanism. The anti-creep mechanisms prevent bearing ball creep associated with the bearing balls from occurring in the varifocal actuation block by limiting the movement in an angular direction of the bearing balls that are used to move the movable carriage in a first direction in the head-mounted display.
BEARING ARRANGEMENT FOR A SHAFT IN A TURBOCOMPRESSOR
The invention relates to a bearing arrangement for a shaft in a turbocompressor having at least one water-fed hydraulic bearing, which is configured to support for rotation an axle of the turbocompressor, wherein the water-fed hydraulic bearing encloses the shaft at a circumference of the shaft to form a bearing gap therebetween; and wherein the water-fed hydraulic bearing is configured to allow water to flow through the bearing gap to support the shaft hydraulically; and two seals, which are designed to seal the bearing gap against the shaft; and wherein gas from the turbocompressor is applied to the two seals outside the bearing gap to seal the bearing.
BEARING HOUSING
A housing for a bearing includes a radially inner annular surface extending around a central axis and adapted to receive a radially outer surface of a bearing, a cooling passage extending through the housing and around the radially inner annular surface, an inlet for fluid to flow into the cooling passage, and an outlet for fluid to flow out of the cooling passage, wherein the cooling passage has a profiled surface.
