A motor control system to drive an alternating-current (AC) motor. The motor control system includes a motor drive. The motor drive may include a duct having first, second and third openings. The motor control system may include a bypass circuit to power the AC motor if the motor drive experiences a fault or to save energy.

A motor drive and method of controlling a motor are provided. The motor drive includes a controller generating a motor reference voltage; a DC bus providing a DC voltage having a ripple; an inverter including power switches operable to convert the DC voltage into an AC motor voltage by modulating the power switches during a plurality of switching cycles, the AC motor voltage based on the motor reference voltage; a capacitor circuit coupled to the DC bus and having a maximum capacitance that is less than 10 microfarads per ampere of a rated current; and voltage prediction logic structured to: detect a voltage value corresponding of the ripple during each of the plurality of switching cycles; and modify the motor reference voltage during each of the plurality of switching cycles using the voltage value.

A hand pump design that utilizes an actuator with a folding nozzle suitable for use in e-commerce is presented. The folding nozzle equipped pump actuator forms part of a hand pump assembly which incorporates a pump body assembly comprising upper and lower pump bodies and a sliding collar which controls the inlet of fluid to be dispensed into fluid passages in the pump assembly and subsequently into the pump actuator. The hand pump further includes upper and lower check balls to prevent back flowing of the fluid to be dispensed into the dispenser bottle.

A follower plate and an apparatus that uses the follower plate to force a viscous material to flow from a storage container. The follower plate includes a cylindrical outer body, a sealing element, and a material saving insert in which a plurality of ribs forms annular concentric slots having a length (L) that runs from the outer edge of the insert to an inner hub. Each slot further exhibits a width (w) that remains substantially the same along its length (L). Each slot further comprises a depth that is variable and tapers along its length (L), such that the depth of the slot approximate to the outer edge (d.sub.o) is less than the depth of the slot approximate to the inner hub (d.sub.i). The width and depth of the slots are configured so that any viscous material that has not been dispensed from the storage container resides within the slots.

A hydraulic pressure supply unit has a storage chamber which stores hydraulic fluid, a hydraulic pump which is arranged within the storage chamber and dips at least partially into the stored hydraulic fluid, and an electric motor which drives the hydraulic pump. The electric motor is arranged below the hydraulic pump in a separate motor chamber which is situated below the storage chamber, is dry, and is not connected fluidically to the storage chamber. The electric motor is coupled in a thermally transmitting manner to a separating floor, the upper side of which delimits the storage chamber and is wetted continuously with stored hydraulic fluid.

This invention relates to a pressing device of a liquid food container, and the pressing device is mounted on the container's cover. The pressing device includes a pressing head which is connected to drive a compression part, so that the compression part can drive a first and second anti-leak valves in pressing and releasing actions. The valve heads of the anti-leak valves are alternatively closed and opened under the pressing and releasing actions. Thus, the liquid in the container can be stored in the liquid storage chamber through a liquid suction port, and then extruded out from a liquid outlet through the liquid conduction port. Therefore, the use of the anti-leak valves can effectively and accurately control the liquid out of the liquid's volume and the internal vacuum state, the liquid is locked in the pressing device without dripping in a vacuum state to achieve leak-proof and anti-splash effect.

A motor oil pump assembly includes: a motor component; an oil pump component, where the oil pump component is supported on an end cover of the motor component; an inner sound insulation enclosure, where the inner sound insulation enclosure encloses the oil pump component, and the inner sound insulation enclosure and the oil pump component define an inner sound insulation cavity filled with low-pressure oil; and a pre-tightening buffering component, where the pre-tightening buffering component is pressed between an upper end cover of the oil pump component and the inner sound insulation enclosure, and the pre-tightening buffering component is in communication with a high-pressure cavity of the oil pump component.

A pet watering fountain includes a bowl having a wall extending to a floor. The floor includes a lower area defining a sump with a sump floor. The sump floor has a height lower than the height of the surrounding portion of the floor. The housing divides the basin into a drinking basin and an interior basin. The drinking basin is accessible to an animal while the interior basin is located behind and underneath the housing and is not accessible to the animal. The pump has an inlet plate with inlet openings located near the bottom of the pump below the level of the bowl floor surrounding portion so that the bowl floor surrounding portion may be devoid of water yet the pump may still have enough water to keep it pumping and prevent it from overheating due to the water within the sump above the inlet openings.

A conveying device for conveying a viscous material from a container includes a follower plate that can be inserted into the container, and a pump by means of which the viscous material can be conveyed through the follower plate. Moreover, a measuring chamber for accommodation of a measuring sample of the viscous material is provided. The measuring chamber includes a closable material inlet opening for this purpose. A closable disposal line leads away from the measuring chamber. Moreover, a closable material return line extends from the measuring chamber via the follower plate into the container. The conveying device also includes a controller that is designed and can be operated appropriately such that it determines the compressibility of each of multiple measuring samples. The controller opens the disposal line or the material return line to the measuring sample present in the measuring chamber as a function of the compressibility thus determined.
