Hydrant nozzle cap spacer

A nozzle cap spacer for a hydrant nozzle cap includes a spacer body defining an outer edge and an inner edge, the inner edge defining an opening formed through a center of the spacer body; and a leak path notch formed in the spacer body, the leak path notch extending radially inward from the outer edge of the spacer body.

HYDRANT NOZZLE CAP SPACER

A nozzle cap spacer for a hydrant nozzle cap includes a spacer body defining an outer body edge, the spacer body defining a spacer body thickness; and a resilient first spacer spring arm extending from the outer body edge and biased away from the spacer body in an extended orientation, wherein the first spacer spring arm defines a first spring arm thickness; wherein the first spring arm thickness of the first spacer spring arm is equal to the spacer body thickness of the spacer body.

Rotor hub for flywheel energy storage system

Rotor hubs described herein include a frustoconical body having a base, a frustum, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, and a plurality of elongated protrusions spaced about a circumference of the base and extending from the base parallel to the longitudinal axis.

Composite rotor for flywheel energy storage system

Composite rotors provided herein include a rotor body extending along a longitudinal axis including a first component extending longitudinally along at least a portion of the rotor body and a second component extending longitudinally along at least a portion of the rotor body, at least a portion of the second component disposed concentrically around the first component, wherein the first component and the second component together define an internal region, wherein a radial thickness of the first component and a radial thickness of the second component vary along the longitudinal axis. The composite rotor also includes at least one magnet disposed on an inner surface of at least one of the first component or the second component within the internal region.

Structural fuse with integral spacer plates

A structural fuse is disclosed including a fuse base and a fuse plate extending from the fuse base. The fuse plate may include a reduced diameter yield section configured to yield at loads on the structural fuse above a threshold.

20210020482 · 2021-01-21 ·

Wafer cushions for use in wafer carriers include spring beams that include a first arm extending from the frame of the wafer cushion in a first direction and a second arm extending from the first arm in a second direction, and a wafer contact at the end of the second arm opposite where the second arm is joined to the first arm. The wafer cushion may contact a substrate within the wafer carrier only at the wafer contacts during normal conditions. The substrate may also contact secondary contact points on the second arm when a shock event occurs. The wafer contact can be v-groove style wafer contact. The wafer contact may include a contact surface having a convex surface where it is configured to contact the wafer.
