An electrically and mechanically driven automotive accessory including a housing, an electric motor, a pulley, and a pulley assist mechanism. The electric motor comprises a stator assembly that is mounted to the housing and a rotating assembly that is mounted to a shaft. The electric motor creates a primary torque flow path that drives rotation of the rotating assembly relative to the stator assembly. The pulley is rotatable relative to the shaft and the rotating assembly. The pulley assist mechanism includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced teeth nested with a conductive body, a rotor body fixedly mounted to the shaft, and an electromagnet that is configured to induce a magnetic field between the circumferentially spaced teeth, the rotor body, and the pulley, which creates a secondary torque flow path between the pulley and the rotor body.

A component for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil section including a free end and an abrasive coating sprayed onto the free end, the abrasive coating including a polymer matrix and an abrasive filler, the abrasive filler between about 50%-75% by volume of the abrasive coating.

A centrifugal compressor (P) is provided with: a casing (10) which forms an impeller inlet flow path (11), an impeller flow path (12), an impeller outlet flow path (13), and a scroll (14); and an impeller (3) which is arranged in the impeller flow path (11), wherein the casing (10) is provided with a casing body (15) and a heat conduction inhibiting part (16) which is disposed to heat conduction paths to the impeller inlet flow path (11) from at least the impeller outlet flow path (13) and the scroll (14) so as to inhibit heat conduction to the impeller inlet flow path (11) from at least the impeller outlet flow path (13) and the scroll (14).

Provided is an axial fan including a pair of fan units, wherein each of the pair of fan units includes a rotor, a motor, and a housing, the rotor includes an impeller cup configured to rotate about a rotation axis, and a fan extending radially from the impeller cup, the motor is provided inside the impeller cup, the housing includes a housing portion housing the rotor, and a base portion supporting the motor, a connection portion is provided to an axial end surface of the base portion and on an inner peripheral side relative to the impeller cup, and the pair of fan units is connected to each other via the connection portions in a direction of the rotation axis.

An electric submersible pump (ESP) seal section assembly. The assembly comprises a seal section filled with dielectric oil; a coupling body partially inserted into the seal section, and a coupling body, wherein the coupling body is substantially cylindrical and has a first outside diameter at an upper end of the coupling body, has a second outside diameter smaller than the first diameter below the first outside diameter, has a circumferential tapered shoulder between the portion of the coupling body having the first diameter and the portion of the coupling body having the second diameter; a service-less flange coupled to the seal section, wherein the service-less flange defines a circumferential opening having a circumferential tapered shoulder on an upper edge that contacts the circumferential tapered shoulder of the coupling body.

A housing for a fan, in an embodiment for an axial or diagonal fan, with the fan including an impeller and at least one flow-through region, wherein immediately downstream of the impeller or the blades of the impeller in an outer region of the housing and thus in the flow-through region, multiple individual, free-standing guide elements are provided. A fan includes a corresponding housing.

A high-lift shielded permanent magnet multistage water pump includes a pump shell, a motor assembly and an impeller. The motor assembly includes a motor barrel, a stator, a rotor and a rotor shaft. The pump shell is sleeved on an outside of motor barrel. An upper and a lower connection base for fixing the motor barrel is provided in the pump shell. A waterway cavity is formed between the pump shell and motor barrel. An upper and a lower impeller cavities are respectively formed at an upper and a lower ends of the pump shell. The lower impeller cavity, water passing cavity and upper impeller cavity are in sequential fluid communication. Both ends of the rotor shaft with an axel provided on pass through the upper and the lower connection bases respectively. The impeller is a multistage structure and mounted on the axle at both ends respectively.

A fan includes a hub configured to be driven by motor to rotate about a fan rotational axis, blades that protrude radially from the hub and a band that surrounds the rotational axis and connects the tips of the blades. The band includes structurally-reinforcing ribs that protrude from the hub-facing surface of the band. A rib is disposed between respective tips of each pair of adjacent blades. Each rib bridges a knit-line of the band, and has a circumferential dimension that is at least 40 percent of a distance between the respective tips of the adjacent blades.

A fan includes a hub configured to be driven by motor to rotate about a fan rotational axis, blades that protrude radially from the hub and a band that surrounds the rotational axis and connects the tips of the blades. The band includes structurally-reinforcing thickened regions that protrude from outer surface of the band in a direction away from the hub. A thickened region is disposed between respective tips of each pair of adjacent blades. Each thickened portion bridges a knit-line of the band.

Dynamically modifiable air movers can be modified during operation of a computing system to allow the performance of the fan (air flow, air flow split between exhausts) to be adjusted based on a workload being performed by the system. The physical modifications that an air mover can undergo are physical in nature and include adjusting the placement of one or more cutwaters, expanding or contracting an expandable portion of the fan housing, covering or uncovering an exhaust to provide or remove cooling to memory components, and moving a slidable strip to extend or withdraw from an exhaust. Causing one or more of these physical modifications to be made can be performed in response to the system determining that a temperature, rate of temperature change, power consumption level, rate of power consumption level change of the system or system components exceeds or has dropped below a threshold level.
