Ultrasonic motor

Ultrasonic Technologies, Inc. (UST) is a small R&D and manufacturing company located in Wesley Chapel, Florida, specializing in ultrasonic quality and process control equipment for solar cells, fuel cells, health and defense industries (www.ultrasonictech.com). Dr. Sergei Ostapenko, President and CEO of the company will serve as a Principal Investigator of the Incubator 11 project. He has many years of experience in technology development, and previously served as PI in NSF and DOE funded projects. The DOE SBIR Phase I and II programs provided seed funding for commercialization of UST’s Resonance Ultrasonic Vibration (RUV) system for solar and fuel cell applications [7, 8]. Proprietary RUV technology [9] was initially developed for photovoltaic…

esla Incorporated, formerly known as Tesla Motors, is an American car manufacturer based in California. They produce futuristic electric cars, energy storage systems and solar panels. The company was founded in 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. They have become widely known for their production of the world’s first fully automated, electric sports car called the Tesla Roadster, in 2008 (see Figure 1). Although Tesla cars are fully electric, and do not leave a carbon footprint while…

Tesla Model S is regarded as an “evolution in automobile engineering” (Teslamotors.com, 2015). With its dual motor feature at the front and rear wheels (see Figure 2 above) resulting in “unparalleled traction control in all conditions”, Tesla Model S is a definite enhancement on a usual conventional four-wheel drive system. (Teslamotors.com, 2015) Every individual Model S is constructed to be lighter, smaller and more efficient to provide both faster acceleration and improve range, enabling the…

How Electro-mechanical Actuator Works? A Rotary Electromechanical Actuation system with an Electric Motor, a gear box & an elastic spring to absorb peak torque loads experienced during operational life. The Schematic below describes the system. Fig. 1.1 Rotary Electro-mechanical Actuator Gearbox Requirements: The Gear Box at the Motor Output is intended to amplify the torque output of the Motor with reduction in speed. The tentative ratio is set at 10:1. Functional Requirements of…

dollars. There was also a cooperation agreement signed between Toyota and Tesla potentially giving the company access to much-needed car engineering expertise and know-how in addition to the 50 million dollar injection. Tesla also bought the majority of their production equipment from other manufacturers in Detroit, such as a $50M hydraulic stamping press that was bought for only $6M. Secondly, Tesla decided to move production of its model S in-house to be fully assembled. Tesla also forms…

Tesla Model S Sedan: An example of ad Project Management (Disclaimer, I am a huge fan of the Tesla product line) Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors, has put together something no one previously thought was possible. An electric car that is practical and luxurious. Tesla sales have increased, 52% in Q2 2015 and are expected to continue to rise as more people become fed up with the oil industry and want to make a positive impact on the environment. Additionally Tesla cars have scored the highest…

learning to ride horses by herself. The child has often been encouraged by her mother, and guided in her learning. This particular child seems to align herself with one or two people at a particular time. This subject is exceling in motor function at her age. The individual has surpassed many goals associated with her motor development. She has shown that she can crawl, stand, walk, run, walk backwards, and even mimicked her grandmother on crutches while hopping on one foot. (Weiten, 2014) The…

Augmenting Motor Skill Acquisition In an attempt to describe the augmentation of motor skill acquisition I am going refer to the work of Schmidt and Lee (2014) throughout this assignment and inform my comments around a skill used in basketball; the free throw. A free throw is a skill that is generally unaffected by environmental factors, such as opposition. This results in a stable and highly predictable environment throughout performance. These characteristics of a free throw describe a closed…

If you are like most people in the business world you have closely followed General Motors (GM). GM has many issues that face it today. Some of those issues are; Toyota has outsold Chevy in several previous months, lack of sales has led to increased inventory levels, a very complicated bureaucracy, very low profits, issues in their European market, and most recently a large amount of recalls on the automobiles they did sell. If you look at all of these problems individually, the causes are…

redoubtable opponents as BMW or AUDI, Model S made a spectacular achievement to lead on the top EV car sale with many awards. Finally, the Model X debut in 2015 was occurred in a surprising situation: Tesla reported a profit loss of $159 million by the end of second quarter 2015. In the same quarter, other automakers, Ford and GM were posting EBIT profit of 2.6 and 2.8 billion respectively. However, it is reasonable for a start-up company because of following factors. First of all, as a…
