Less an opera than a play with music, the 90-minute work offered a bizarre juxta- position of art and revolution. It opened in 1959, on the eve of the Castro revolution. As crowds demonstrated in the street outside, the elderly Ra- chel (Lili Darvas) proclaimed that "the best thing in life is paving the way for several scenes, beginning in 1905, from the stage career of the younger Rachel (Lee As the older Rachel indulged herself in eccentricities of be- havior, the younger; 'Rachel made her.stage debut, drove her first lover, .to in love with a pimp, joined a traveling circus, won stardom in the music hall and bid a theatrical farewell to the stage.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

This time Chuck Norris Endorses Ron PaulSubmitted by Telecaster on Sun, 06/26/2011 - 12:40
.....Chuck Norris, who famously supported former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee last election season, has thrown his hat in the ring for Rep. Ron Paul.
Norris was influential in garnering support for Huckabee at the outset of his White House bid. The Los Angeles Times reported that Norris was "a factor in Huckabee's popularity surge" and said in 2007, "A month ago, few even knew that Huckabee was a former governor of Arkansas, let alone a Republican candidate for president. Then karate-movie tough guy Norris … announced he was in Huckabee's camp… Suddenly, Huckabee became the presidential example of tough-guy cool." However, it is unclear how much his support will help the divisive Paul's campaign this year.....

They had to change the name though, because nobody ever lived crossing Ron Paul.

In the begining
there was nothing, until Ron Paul roundhouse-kicked the universe in the face and said, "Get a job!".
Frum is in the business of lying. He gave you such great speeches as Axis of Evil!
But on a positive note, if Chuck Norris does endorse Paul, I think this will be awesome.
The Libertarian Party, irrelevant since 1971.

Who else is pumped for Expendables 2?
This article is complete bullshite because it's dated 6/26/11 and Chuck Norris hasn't endorsed anyone.
You have to wonder what the motive is for someone to find something like this and then post it with such a sensationalist headline...
Chuck Norris got on the elevator with me once
In Hollywood. At the New Line Cinema Building.
He's short :)
(but if this is true, right on!)
Frum lies about almost
Frum lies about almost everything. He's probably just basing it on the fact that a year or two ago Norris made the comment about using Ron to point out dishonest politicians in Washington.
But I do think if Norris endorses again, it will be Ron. And this time the endorsement will get more attention since Ron's young voters will jump on it since we all love Chuck Norris memes and jokes.

Kung Foo Masters
All Mighty Senators, Kung Foo Masters Chuck Norris and Ron Paul, defenders of the universe.
As always, something has been lost in translation
"Kung-fu and wushu are terms that have been borrowed into English to refer to Chinese martial arts. However, the Chinese terms kung fu and wushu listen have distinct meanings;[1] the Chinese literal equivalent of "Chinese martial art" would be Zhongguo wushu (traditional Chinese: 中國武術; pinyin: zhōngguó wǔshù).
Wǔshù literally means "martial art". It is formed from the two words 武術: 武 (wǔ), meaning "martial" or "military" and 術 (shù), which translates into "discipline", "skill" or "method.""
If I disappear from a discussion please forgive me. My 24-7 business requires me to split mid-sentence to serve them. I am not ducking out, I will be back later to catch up.

The Two-Party System: Two sides of the same coin
Great, I have been waiting for this endorsement.
The following is an excerpt from an article written by someone using the pseudonym AIRSPOON and is exactly why we must do everything in our power to defeat the status quo and get Ron Paul elected.
We are stuck in an endless cycle of Republican versus Democrat and the only things that seem to get done, are the things that benefit the elites and their corporate vessels. The Republicans will be on top for a time, only to have the people become fed up with the direction of government, then the Democrats come in to do the same exact thing. The pendulum quickly falls back to the Republicans and so the cycle continues, all the while the only losers are us, the American people. While the people are bickering back and forth about relatively unimportant issues, we are being robbed blind and our Constitutional protections are being subverted and dismantled. While we are being distracted with stupid issues, certain entities and elites are laughing all of the way to the bank (quite literally) and the real issues are being completely ignored.
Welcome to the truth newbie!
Now your mission, if you decide to accept it, is to go out into the world and wake up as many people as you can to the truth! This message will self destruct in one minute!
Welcome to the Daily Paul jomicast!
thank you, chuck...
for being awake AND for being a bad ass!
here is a man (Dr.Paul) who works to keep your support by being the same man day in and day out, year in and year out...

Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!
9/11 Truth.
HA! Awesome. I just wrote Chuck Norris last week!
It was a pretty heart-felt letter too, I wonder if it helped, LOL!! Probably not, Chuck has his principles.
I mean, you had to know he would support the Doc, after he told that story about wanting to choke out politicians at Ron Paul's command.
And as weird as it sounds, talking about Chuck Norris liking Ron, actually works in certain social circles (think UFC, Tapout crowd). I've used it already, and it worked like a charm.
Good on you, Chuck! Thanks.
Like liberals
some here are holier than thou when it comes to the social conservatives. Thank you Mr. Norris for your support.
can't find any source for
can't find any source for Chuck Norris endorsing Ron Paul besides the article. I don't think it happened..
I need more confrimation than this... especially considering the source.
Sadly neither can I, shame if he does not considering he has stated more than once Ron Paul is the only person he trusts in the halls of Congress but I have not heard anything recent. I wonder what the college student is basing her article on.
Frum Forum is a cesspool.
But maybe the article is referring to previous statements where Chuck Norris has said the only one he trusts is Ron Paul?
My search fu is not good enough to locate a recent endorsement yet.

Flickr Is Now 6 Years Old
Popular photo-sharing social network Flickr was launched back in February 2004 by a Vancouver-based company Ludicorp. It took one year for Yahoo to acquire Flickr, and among the company's many acquisitions, Flickr definitely stands as one of the most successful. Being six years old (nearly the same age as Facebook) makes Flickr almost an old guy on the Internet, as many other social networks (Bebo, hi5) have risen and fallen within that timespan.

I'm glad for a different reason. Bought the dips all the way down and now selling the rips all the way up. XCO giveth this day our daily bread.
Thanks for sharing. I asked questions to that effect last week after the earnings conference call but have received no reply. Did Amy Vogel happen to explain why they filed the S-1 with contradictory language (i.e., pre-split share counts, pending consent solicitation proposals, etc.)? I presume the answer relates to communication restrictions during the stages of the offering process but would prefer to know rather than presume.
The Life Sciences Report. Google "George Zavoico Cytosorbents". It's the first search result.
It's true if you agree but a bald-faced lie if you don't, huh?
LOL. That's the gal NBR had to drop because her stock recommendations were unmitigated disasters. The periodic performance reviews were embarrassing, even to the casual viewer. ONTY fits right in her portfolio.
This question is asked repeatedly. TSO's float is 20% of VLO's (118M v. 518M), and free cash flow per share 13% higher ($8.47 v. $7.52).

First time I ever have observed so much focus by a CEO on retail investors, even for an OTCBB stock. Maybe that changes with a NASDAQ listing.

Special Statement
Statement as of 7:25 am CST on November 11, 2014
... Much colder temperatures today through Friday with the first
freeze of the season possible in some areas later this week...
A strong cold front will move through south central Texas this
morning. Temperatures this afternoon will remain in the lower 50s
across The Hill Country and central Texas to the upper 50s to
near 60 across southern areas. By Wednesday morning temperatures
will dip into the mid and upper 30s across The Hill Country and
central Texas to low 40s elsewhere. Highs on Wednesday will only
be in the upper 40s to to mid 50s... with it feeling even colder
with a brisk north wind.
Even colder temperatures are expected Thursday... with lows across
some locations in the northern Hill Country possibly dipping to
the freezing mark... and upper 30s to around 40 elsewhere. Highs on
Thursday will only range from the mid 40s to low 50s.
At this time... freezing temperatures of 28 to 32 degrees are
expected Friday morning along and north of a Rocksprings to Medina
to Boerne to New Braunfels to Austin line. There is the
possibility of this line being extended slightly farther south in
the coming days... as models have been trending colder. South of
the line low temperatures in the mid and upper 30s are expected
Friday morning. Highs on Friday will only be in the upper 40s to
mid 50s.
Can't argue with the visceral reactions to the certainty of a reverse split and dilution, but there's a bigger story here. I do believe institutional investors and various funds will want to own shares in an emerging biotech company with increasing sales. Such interest usually translates into share price appreciation, especially if the float can stay below 50 million shares. I'm voting affirmatively and holding my position.
Although I agree with you, secondary offering seems to have supplanted the correct term, follow-on offering, in many venues. Even Investopedia defines a secondary offering as both "the issuance of new stock for public sale from a company that has already made its initial public offering" and "a sale of securities in which one or more major stockholders in a company sell all or a large portion of their holdings." Kind of like "less" has usurped "fewer" in undisciplined use of the English language.
Perusing the S-8, this could be as simple as following a trend in eliminating stock option grants in favor of restricted stock awards. Such a move may involve compensating current plan participants with additional restricted stock to replace value of withdrawn stock option grants. Good news would be that restricted stock is considered less dilutive (higher value requires not as many shares to be issued) and better aligns plan participants' interests with shareholders' interests (value dependent on market share price).
Old news before EIA issued the weekly petroleum inventories report showed lower than expected stocks for both. Try to keep up.
TSO earned $3.06 a share versus a $2.15 estimate. VLO earned $2.00 a share versus a $1.57 estimate. TSO also has a lower float, which magnifies the market reaction.
VLO already had run $3 since last Wednesday in anticipation of an earnings beat after its peers beat handily.
You got that right. They are talking about it right now on the CNBC Fast Money Halftime Report.
I heard the trading is not willful, that the last of the energy traders are getting margin calls as crude prices continue to dip. They have to sell some winners to make up the difference if they are underwater on crude futures.

Search Market Share: Yahoo Hits New Low About To Slip Into Single-Digits
On the heels of Yahoo's Q1 2014 earnings in which its search business showed signs of life, comScore released new monthly search market share figures for the US market. They show Yahoo with 10.1 percent of the market — a new low for the company.
It would appear that Yahoo is continuing its long, slow, market-share decline and about to slip into single-digits for the first time. In absolute numbers, however, Yahoo search query volumes were up. So were Yahoo's rivals.
By comparison, Google was flat and Bing was up 0.2 points. It appears that Bing continued to siphon off Yahoo's usage.
It's worth noting that the combined Search Alliance share (Bing + Yahoo) has remained essentially flat since its inception.

Assemblies elected by the colonists made laws set taxes and raised companies of troops. Called militia to defend the colonists (Carter, 8). In 1765, British Parliament could make more laws for the colonists. The King needed to pay for the French and Indian War so he made laws to tax the colonists (Harcourt, 266). The King started the sugar act in 1764 (Harcourt, 272). "This tariff angered the colonists. But what bothered them the most was that they'd had no part in making this tax law" (Harcourt, 272). The King and Parliament all had a say in passing laws. "Unlike other British citizens, the colonists could not elect lawmakers … but Parliament was quick to remind colonists they were British subjects" (Harcourt, 263). The Stamp Act was another blow to the colonists' democratic ideals. The colonists had been practicing self- government for years (Harcourt, 263). The Stamp Act of 1765 was another attempt by Parliament to get the colonists to pay the war debt. "The new tax law angered people in the colonies (January, 6). The Stamp Act required colonists to pay for a stamp (to show they paid the tax) on all paper goods like newspapers. Parliament added these new laws to show they could still make laws for the colonists (Harcourt, 277). The Stamp Act Congress met to get the act repealed. Patriot James Otis said the famous quote, "No Taxation without Representation!" (Harcourt, 274). These British laws were directly against the democratic ideals of self-government the colonists had been practicing for 100 years. The colonists did not get to elect representatives into British Parliament. They did not have any say in the tax laws they were being forced to pay. The King made a third law that angered the colonists, the tax on tea, 1773. The colonists believed in democracy (Harcourt, 263). The colonists were not represented in British Parliament and believed the only way to ensure their rights was to fight for them. The colonists were British citizens living in America. When their rights were being trampled by The Sugar Act, The Stamp Act, and The Tax on Tea, they first appealed to the King and Parliament. When that didn't work they protested. Eventually, the rally cry of "No taxation without representation" would lead the colonists to fight for their freedom. The colonists wanted a true representative government. In 1776, in The Revolutionary War, British colonists fight Britain for the right to become American citizens and have freedom. Refrences: Carter, Alden. The American Revolution.

Heart Disease Health Center
Metabolic Syndrome
In this article
What is Metabolic Syndrome?
Metabolic syndrome, also known as syndrome X or dysmetabolic syndrome, refers to a cluster of metabolic conditions that can lead to heart disease.
The main features of metabolic syndrome include insulin resistance, hypertension (high blood pressure), abnormal cholesterol, and an increased risk for clotting. People diagnosed with this syndrome are usually overweight or obese.
Recommended Related to Heart Disease
Breakthroughs in Atherosclerosis Treatment
In the battle against atherosclerosis, the stakes remain high. Scientists have made exciting medical advances, but the disease persists as a leading cause of illness and death in the United States. This year alone, atherosclerosis will contribute to about 1.2 million heart attacks among Americans. "While we have very good therapies and tests to identify the disease and predict the risk, none of them is perfect," says Stephen Nicholls, MBBS (bachelor of medicine/surgery), PhD, clinical director...
Read the Breakthroughs in Atherosclerosis Treatment article > >
Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body produces insulin but does not use it properly. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps the body use glucose, a form of sugar, for energy. If a person has insulin resistance, his or her body is not converting glucose for use by muscles and other tissues.
How Is Metabolic Syndrome Diagnosed?
According to American Heart Association guidelines, any three of the following traits in the same person meet the criteria for the metabolic syndrome:
- Abdominal obesity: a waist circumference over 102 cm (40 in) in men and over 88 cm (35 inches) in women
- Serum triglycerides: 150 mg/dl or above, or taking medication for elevated triglycerides
- HDL (''good'') cholesterol: 40mg/dl or lower in men and 50mg/dl or lower in women
- Blood pressure of 130/85 or above (or taking medication for high blood pressure)
- Fasting blood glucose of 100 mg/dl or above
The World Health Organization (WHO) has slightly different criteria for defining the metabolic syndrome:
- High insulin levels, an elevated fasting blood glucose or an elevated post-meal glucose alone with at least two of the following criteria:
- Abdominal obesity as defined by a waist-to-hip ratio of greater than 0.9, a body mass index of at least 30 kg/m2 or a waist measurement over 37 inches
- Cholesterol panel showing a triglyceride level of at least 150 mg/dl or an HDL cholesterol lower than 35 mg/dl
- Blood pressure of 140/90 or higher (or on treatment for high blood pressure)
How Common Is Metabolic Syndrome?
Approximately 20%-30% of the population in industrialized countries has metabolic syndrome.
What Causes Metabolic Syndrome?
As is true with many medical conditions, genetics and the environment both play important roles in the development of metabolic syndrome.

A capacitance test device has been developed for measuring the capacitance of the insulation wrap on armature bars in electromagnetic generators and motors. The test device comprises a probe having an electrode plate mounted on an inflatable bladder. The plate is formed of an elastomeric conductive material and is sufficiently flexible to make good surface contact with the insulation on an armature bar. The plate is electrically connected to a capacitance meter that is also coupled to ground as are the armature bars during testing. The bladder is initially deflated to reduce the thickness of the test device so that the device can be slid into the narrow gap between the insulated armature bars of a stator. Once positioned between the bars, the bladder is inflated with a pressure hose to press the electrode plate firmly against the surface of the insulation of the armature bar. Once the capacitance of the insulation has been measured, the bladder is deflated with the aid of a vacuum pump to minimize the width of the probe.

This invention relates to the testing of power generators and motors and, more particularly, to the inspection and capacitance testing of insulation on armature windings in generators and motors.
In large industrial motors and generators, the armature windings, also known as stator windings, are inspected from time to time to confirm that they are operating properly. Each armature winding includes a conductive armature bar(s) wrapped in layers of insulation. The insulation confines the voltage in the bars to prevent arcing between windings, and shields the bars against stray objects that could electrically short the bars and to protect people and equipment. In view of the high voltage levels that are present in industrial generators and motors, the insulation on armature bars must provide an effective and complete barrier surrounding the bars. If the insulating properties of the insulation degrades because it becomes damp or for other reasons, then voltage arcs may jump from the armature bars through degraded regions of the insulation to cause electrical shorts that can harm people and damage equipment.
The insulation on armature windings are inspected from time to time to determine whether the insulation has degraded and, if so, to what extent. The dielectric constant of an insulator provides a: measure of its insulating properties. Accordingly, the insulation of an armature winding can be inspected by determining the dielectric constant of the insulation. The dielectric constant of the insulator can be calculated by measuring the capacitance of the insulation on the armature bars. The dielectric constant indicates such conditions as the amount of dampness in the insulator. A damp insulator may indicate that leak in the water passages in a water cooled armature. A damp insulator may be water damaged and not functioning as an effective insulator.
All insulating materials have a dielectric constant, which is a measure of the amount of energy the insulating material stores when a voltage is applied across the material. The dielectric constant for air is 1.0, for Micapal, a common insulation material for armature windings, is approximately 4, and 80 for water. Because of the large difference in the dielectric constants for Micapal (and other winding insulators) and water, the dielectric constant changes relatively dramatically when an insulator for a winding becomes damp. Accordingly, measuring the dielectric constant of an insulator provides an effective means for detecting water logged insulation on stator windings.
The dielectric constant for an armature insulator can be calculated using capacitance values measured across the insulator. Capacitance and the dielectric constant are related as described in the following equation:
D=dielectric constant of the insulation
A=area of the probe electrode
t=thickness of the insulation
Because the area (A) of a probe electrode and thickness (t) of the insulator are know quantities and the capacitance (C) of the insulator is a measured quantity, the dielectric constant (D) can be relatively easily calculated with the above equation.
The capacitance of the insulation of an armature winding is usually measured at the ends of the windings. Armature windings are generally mounted in longitudinal slots in a cylindrical stator and the windings have ends that extend out from both ends of the stator. At their ends, the armature windings are relatively exposed and accessible to measurement probes. However, there are generally a large number of armature windings that are tightly nested together at the ends of the stator. The gap between adjacent armature windings is often narrow, and the gap can be as small as 0.25 inch or smaller. Because of the narrow gap between armature windings, it has for a long time been very difficult to insert capacitance probes between the windings. In addition, the narrow gaps make it difficult for the probe to form a good electrical surface contact with the surface of the insulation. Without a good surface contact, air in gaps between the probe and the surface of the insulation can distort the capacitance measurement. Accordingly, the narrow gap between armature windings poses long-standing problems for capacitance probes.
In the past, capacitance probes have been formed from foam pads wrapped in metal foil, where the foil is used as an electrode to measure the capacitance of the armature insulation. The wrapped foam pad is attached to a paddle that is used to hold the pad against the armature insulation. The large relative thickness of the foam pad and paddle probe limits this technique to situations where there is a relatively large gap between adjacent armature windings. Alternatively, electrodes for capacitance probes have been formed of adhesive metal tape that adheres to the armature insulation. However, even with metal tape a wide gap between windings is needed for the technician to apply and remove the metal tape. The metal tape has an additional disadvantage of tearing and leaving metal strips on the surface of the winding that can cause a short in the motor or generator. Another probe has been proposed that is comprised of a brass plate electrode having an inclined plane back surface that slides up a matching incline plane in the probe. Before the inclined planes slide over one another, the probe is relatively narrow and is inserted between armature windings. The brass electrode is pressed against the surface of the armature insulation by sliding one of the inclined planes against the other plane to expand the thickness of the probe. This inclined plane electrode also does not fit in the small gaps between many of the electrodes in current stators. Accordingly, there has been a long felt need for a capacitance test device having a probe that can slide between the narrow gap between the armature windings and establish good surface contact with the insulation.
To satisfy the need for a thin capacitance probe, the current invention was developed to measure the capacitance of the insulation wrap on armature bars in electromagnetic generators and motors. The test device comprises a probe having an electrode plate mounted on an inflatable bladder. The plate is formed of an elastomeric conductive material and is sufficiently flexible to make good surface contact with the insulation on an armature bar. The plate is electrically connected to a capacitance meter that is also coupled to ground as are the armature bars during testing. The bladder is initially deflated to reduce the thickness of the test device so that the device can be slid into the narrow gap between the insulated armature bars of a stator. Once positioned between the bars, the bladder is inflated with a pressure hose to press the electrode plate firmly against the surface of the insulation of the armature bar. Once the capacitance of the insulation has been measured, the bladder can be deflated with the aid of a vacuum pump to minimize the thickness of the probe.
It is an object of the current invention to measure the capacitance of the insulation on armature bars in electromagnetic motors and generators. It is a further object of the invention to provide a probe for measuring capacitance that is initially thin for insertion between closely spaced stator windings and expandable to provide a good electrical connection between the probe and the insulation being measured. It is another object of the invention for the probe to be easy to use, reliable in its operation and resistive to oils and other chemicals that commonly exist on and near operating electromagnetic machines. These objects and more have been satisfied with the current invention which is described in detail in the following detailed written description and attached drawings.
The attached figures illustrate embodiments of the invention and these figures are:
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a quarter section of an end of stator in a generator or motor;
FIG. 2 is a cross-section of a first embodiment of the invention inserted between an adjacent pair of stator windings;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the first embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is a cross section of a second embodiment of the invention inserted between an adjacent pair of stator windings.
FIG. 1 shows an end view of a stator 10 for an electromechanical motor or generator. Only a quarter section of the stator is shown in the figure, and the rotor and other associated components of the motor or generator have been omitted for purposes of illustration only. In normal operation, the capacitance test device 20 of the present invention is used with a fully assembled motor or generator. The test device 20 is slid between the ends 11 of a pair of adjacent armature windings 12 that extend from the cylindrical stator 10. These ends of the armature windings are nested closely together and only have a small gap (G) 14 between adjacent windings. Indeed, this gap (G) is generally less than 1 inch and typically in the range of 0.75 inch to 0.25 inch. By way of comparison, the individual armature bars 16 have a width of typically between 1.0 to 3.0 inches and a thickness of 1.0 to 3.0 inches. To measure the capacitance of the insulation coveting of the armature windings, the probe 21 of the test device 20 must slide in this gap (G) between adjacent armature windings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the test probe 21 includes an electrode pad 22 mounted on a rectangular bladder 24. The pad is electrically coupled to an electrical meter 26 for measuring capacitance, such as a capacitance bridge or a capacitance meter, that measures the capacitance between the pad and a common ground 28. Since the armature bars 16 of the windings are also grounded, the meter measures the capacitance across the insulation layer 18 surrounding of the respective armature bar of the stator. In addition, the meter may be included or connected to a computer, e.g., a lap-top computer, to log measurements and calculate the dielectric constant of the insulation. The bladder 24 of the test probe 21 is coupled to an air pump 30 via an air hose 32. The air pump may be as simple as a hand activated rubber bulb or more complex, such as a compressor or other source of pressurized air. A regulator 33 coupled to the air hose may be used in conjunction with a high pressure source to reduce the air pressure applied to the bladder, such as to a level less than 10 psi and preferably to about 4 psi. A pressure gauge 34 is connected to the hose or bladder to indicate the air pressure in the bladder. In addition, the air compressor may have an associated vacuum pump 36 to draw air out of the bladder and thereby compress the bladder to its minimum size for insertion and removal from between the armature windings. In addition, the bladder is disclosed here as being air filled, but other fluids, such as water, inert gases, etc., may be equally suitable for filling the bladder.
The electrode pad 22 may be a rectangular pad, e.g, about 1 inch by 2 inch by 0.125 inch, that is preferably formed of an electrically conductive elastomeric material, such as an electrically conductive silicone. The flexibility of the electrode pad allows it to conform to an irregular surface of insulation 18 for the armature winding. By conforming to the insulation surface, the electrode pad provides good electrical contact with the insulation and purges air packets from between the pad and insulation that can distort the capacitance measurements. In addition, the electrode pad is pressed against the insulation surface in a uniform manner as the pressure increases in the air bladder 24.
An electrical lead wire 37 connects the capacitance meter 26 to the electrode plate. The wire, e.g., no. 12 stranded wire, may be formed of several conductive strands covered by an plastic sheath. At the end 38 of the wire near the electrode pad, the conductive strands are fanned apart and conductively attached to the pad, preferably to the side of the plate adjacent the bladder 24.
The electrode pad is glued to the bladder with an epoxy cement and a fillet 40 is formed between the plates edges and the bladder. The bladder is formed of an elastomer material that is resistant to oil and other contaminants, such as silicone rubber or Viton fluoroelastomer. In one example, the bladder is approximately 2 inches square and 0.125 inches thick before inflation. The dimensions of the electrode pad and bladder are to be selected depending upon the particular type of stator which is to be measured by the measuring device. Indeed, it may be desirable to have available two or more plate/bladder probes 21 of different sizes so that a technician can select the best probe for each particular capacitance measurement.
In an alternative embodiment 48 shown in FIG. 4, an air bladder 24 has two electrode pads 50, 52 on opposite sides of the bladder. These electrodes each have respective electrical leads 54, 56 that connect both electrode pads to a capacitance meter. This alternative embodiment allows capacitance measurements to be made on two adjacent windings without having to move the test device 48.
The invention has been described in what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments. The invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Rather, the invention covers various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
