A dye composition of 99. 7% pure glycerin and press cake dye is provided along with an apparatus and method of use for the same. The apparatus sets the dye composition into polyester yarns by heating the composition to 160-190Â C. and then cooling the composition to 100-140Â C. Prescour, dye scour and post scour vessels are provided to facilitate the dyeing process. The fluids used in the apparatus and process are recycled by recycling units.

An apparatus and method of using the same are presented for commingling synthetic multifilament yarns such as polyester or the like. The apparatus includes a pair of spaced apart fluid jets which direct air at an acute angle from different directions to the moving yarn to distort and mesh the filaments. The first fluid jet is directed in a forward direction (with the yarn travel) whereas the second jet is in a reverse or opposing direction to the yarn path. The method utilizes compressed air and a high velocity yarn to form nips therealong at approximately 10 to 14 millimeter spacings to create a commingled yarn which is cohesive for use on high speed looms and for other operations.

An apparatus and method are described for forming transfer tails on yarn packages being wound in abutting relationship on a textile winding machine. The system utilizes a transfer tail forming means including a fixed yarn guide element defining a yarn guide surface therein with diverging sides extending generally outwardly and a movable yarn guide element cooperating therewith and adapted to move from a rearward position behind the yarn guide surface to a forward position wherein the front portion thereof extends beyond the yarn guide surface.

A demodulating apparatus receives a differential phase shift keyed analog signal which is coupled to the input of a voltage controlled oscillator. The voltage controlled oscillator generates a plurality of pulses at a frequency which is proportional to the amplitude of the analog signal. The pulses are counted during in-phase intervals and intervals which are quadrature phase related to the in-phase intervals. The signs of the differences between (i) the number of in-phase and quadrature phase interval pulses counted during a first bit rate interval and (ii) a reference pulse count number, are determined. The signs of the differences between (i) the in-phase and quadrature phase pulses counted during a second bit rate interval, which follows the first bit rate interval, and (ii) the reference count number, are also determined. A phase change is indicated when the signs of the second in-phase and quadrature phase differences are different from the signs of the first in-phase and quadrature phase differences respectively.

An integration kit is disclosed herein that allows for mounting of a resolver trigger wheel relative to a bearing assembly, resolver, and rotor. The integration kit simplifies assembly and saves space. The integration kit includes a resolver integration sleeve that includes a first axial section including a radially inner surface defining a bearing support and radially inwardly extending flange defining an axial abutment surface. The resolver integration sleeve also includes a second axial section including at least one anti-rotation slot dimensioned to receive a portion of a trigger wheel, at least one anti-rotation tab extending axially towards the first axial section and dimensioned to be received by a rotor, at least one securing tab extending radially outward and configured to engage a trigger wheel, and a radially outwardly extending flange.

In a motor assembly, a rotor and a trigger wheel are each secured to a first race of a four-point contact ball bearing. The circumferential position of the rotor and trigger wheel are each fixed with respect to the first bearing, and therefore with respect to one another. A resolver sensor is bolted to a housing. A second race is mounted at a fixed axial position relative to the housing, thereby locating the trigger wheel with respect to the resolver sensor. In some embodiments, the first race may be an inner race and the second race an outer race. In other embodiments, the first race may be an outer race and the second race an inner race.
