Historical Traveler Reviews Westin Bear Mountain Victoria Golf Resort & Spa
Great Property - Spotty Service
This is a beautiful hotel in an idylic setting outside of Victoria. Part of a huge development that reminded us of a young Whistler with all the money being sunk into this development. All aspects of the property itself were excellent.
The problem was spotty service. Breakfast this morning took an hour from when we sat down to when it was delivered despite the fact that we told them we had a ferry to catch. Then we had to repeatedly ask for the bill. Our friends are "Marriott People" but had always assumed Westin meant high end service. This experience certainly opened their eyes. We had a similar experience at the Copper Rock Grill for dinner. The good news is they did a good job with appetizers and drinks at the lounge next door. The appetizers were excellent.
Room service was also rather haphazard. On Sunday they came by at 5:30PM to clean the room.
The golf course was beautiful and difficult. Recommended for serious golfers only. No driving range though which is a significant omission for a golf resort.
All in all, still a great place to stay but they need to get their act together with their service.
You must stay here! Awesome hotel!
I am typing this from a huge one bedroom suite w/fireplace at the brand-new Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa in Victoria B.C.
I can't say enough good things about this hotel!!
Front desk was unable to offer a Starwood Platinum upgrade at check-in (hotel is full) but they did call the next morning to advise they had found a suite for the rest of my stay - nice!
For those of you who have been to the Westin Trillium House in Collingwood, this new Westin is 10x better and much more deluxe / high-end - which is not an easy feat!
Bravo Westin! Well done! Please keeping building hotels like this!!
Wonderfull resort ! Magnifique !
We stayed at the Westin Bear Mountain resort after a couple of days at Whistler. We were absolutly speechless when we arrived at the Bear Moutain resort.
1) Surroundings are beautifull
2) We were expecting a normal hotel room; we got a 1 bedroom apartment with full kitchen, large bathroom and huge terrasse. Everything was new and cleaned.
3) Fitness center is fully equipped
4) We really enjoyed the quiet pool area (especially after a game of golf)
5) Jack Nicklaus's golf course is superb; usually a nice golf course has at least 1 signature hole; this one must have at least 5-6 signature holes. We especially enjoyed the 19th hole where you have 360 degre view (Victoria, Mountains, water ... )
After a nice dinner around 8:00pm we asked if we could take a cart and drive around the golf course to take pictures ... we must have seen at least 20 deers.
We were supposed to go visit Victoria the next day, we preferred to play another round of golf !
The only negative thing I would have to say is :
1) during the week there is alot of construction going on around the resort and that can be very annoying especially on the golf course
2) there was alot of mistakes on our hotel bill; definitively check your bill before paying.
I would recommend this resort to anyone!
Absolument magnigique ... si vous aimez le golf, c'est la place id�ale.

Westin Bear Mountain
We stayed one night at the Westin Bear Mountain on July 3, 2006. We were in a kitchenette unit in the Clubhouse building, which apparently opened this spring. Even though the landscaping was not yet all complete, the grounds are very attractive, and it seems that a lot of effort is going into the setting.
The room itself was very nice, with a shared balcony area, which overlooked the fountain in front, and the parking area. The other side of the hotel would likely be better. The kitchenette was a fridge and microwave. There were dishes etc., but no sink.
As it was so new, every thing was spotless, and very compfortable. I did find that the decor was a bit lack in personality, but that is very common in new hotels.
We really enjoyed the pool area and the gym, included in the dreaded resort fee of $10. Because the area, including hundreds of houses and condominiums, is still being constructed, the gym was almost empty, but full of brand new equipment, T.V.s etc.
We ate two meals there, both on the deck overlooking the 18th green. Dinner in particular was very good, as was the Bear Mountain beer, both enhanced by the great weather we enjoyed.
The only downside was an extra charge on our bill. Another guest had put our room down for their charges, and the desk attendant had to manually go through all the receipts to find out what had happened. The moral is to always check your bill.
Terrific place to stay
I stayed at the Westin for 2 weeks in May this year while in Victoria on business. The staff was really helpful and always there for you. The rooms are brand new and quite spacious. I would recommend the one bedroom suite but I also stayed in the classic room and they are very good also. The new health club facility is really outstanding . If your a golfer this is the place to stay as the course is challenging and beautiful. Quite a test!! The only negative is the cost of the food. It is Westin type prices and therefore a bit expensive. I would say if you want you should bring some food into your room as each room has a small fridge and eating area. This hotel is really a special place. It is a few minutes from downtown( 15 minutes) but well worth the drive. It really made my 2 weeks in Victoria a time to remember.
Great Hotel, Fabulous Fitness Center!
We stayed at Bear Mountain with friends over New Year's weekend. The accommodations were great and very comfortable for four people (we had a 2 bedroom/2 bath unit). The service was very good and the people there were very attentive and helpful. The shopping and dining choices are a bit limited, but the restaurant on site is good. The spa wasn't open yet, but promises to be quite good. The fitness center was by far the best we've seen anywhere. The variety of equipment was exceptionally good and the people working there were very helpful. Be sure to swim in the endless pool. It is cleaned with salt rather than chlorine and you can really tell the difference. Since they are still largely in the construction phase at Bear Mountain, the hotel isn't too full, but the rates are great. Be sure to try it out before it gets really pricey.
You must stay here
What a great place to stay - even if you are not a golfer !
Our 2 queen bed room had everything we needed - room for a crib for a toddler too. The room was large and bright with floor to ceiling windows and of course almost brand new, with small kichen & microwave, fridge, coffee etc) plus a huge bathroom with a wonderful deep tub !
The room also had a small balcony so we could watch the golfers at the driving range - we requested a quiet room as they are still building the resort at the front - swimming pool/ spa area, conference centre so it looked like a building site when we first arrived but please don't be put off by this - once it is finished it will be great ! (the building site was brilliant for my 2 yr old son who loves cranes and diggers and dump trucks)
Staff were friendly and very helpful. Underground parking a bonus.
This hotel was the best we stayed in on our 3,500 mile trip from Vancouver, Vancouver island, down to Seattle and around the Cascade loop - 3 week driving trip so stayed in many hotels on the way - would loved to come and stay here again but guess the room rate would at least double once the facilities are completed.
Great Hotel!
What a great place! We had a room with a kitchen and everything was so new that they have not been used. Room had a view of the first hole. Bathroom was beautifully laid out.
What a great golf experience! It is one of friendliest golf course I have played in Victoria. Drove the 17th hole Par 4 and made birdie. The 12th hole is similiar to the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass.
Will definitely return.
Great stay
Outstanding brand new hotel right on Jack Nicklaus golf course. Rooms are very spacious. Beautifully decorated 1 bedroom unit with full kitchen at great rate. Best golf in Victoria. Will be back to stay here again.

Victorian fun times
... it seems a very jovial place.
It's not a big place, so exploring didn't take long, but it was very lively as there was a dragon-boat festival on that had brought in some extra crowds. We had a snoop around the harbour-side areas where all this was happening and then moved off just north of there to find some lunch. We'd been recommended to try a place called Canoe, but found the menu to be rather uninspiring and came back towards town. ...

We had another early start the next morning as we were travelling across by ferry to Seattle. This meant we were crossing the border back into USA and we would have to go through customs and immigration again.
Whales & Cinema
... my sleep. That was in Suva in Fiji when there were three of us in the room. The other non snorer was going mental shouting at the guy to stop (when he was asleep). So needless to say I woke up on the angry/moody side. Nothing like a bit of whale watching to take my mind off it! We were in a small 12 man boat with a solid hull and inflatable sides. They advertise them as more fun but I guess they have lower running costs too which can't help. I opted for ...

Multiuser Detection Algorithm for CDMA Based on the Belief Propagation Algorithm
Date Added: Jul 2009
Format: PDF
Optimum detection for the multiuser code-division multiple-access channel is prohibitively complex. This paper considers new iterative multiuser detection algorithm based on the belief propagation algorithm. Previously, the idea to apply the belief propagation algorithm to multiuser detection problem was suggested, however, it was believed that to apply the belief propagation algorithm to the detection problem is impossible because it requires an exponentially large amount of computation. It was the only fact that the parallel interference canceller is derived as an approximation of the belief propagation.

In 1531, Our Lady of Guadalupe drove out the powers of darkness from Mexico. They had dominated the country through human sacrifice. She did this with her merciful message that she would demonstrate her powerful help and protection for the people. But, with the legalization of abortion in Mexico City, the powers of darkness have returned there.
So, on May 20, the former Archbishop of Guadalajara, Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iñiguez, with the Archbishop of San Luis Potosi and several exorcist priests from various Mexican dioceses performed a Great Exorcism ritual of the entire country at the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Luis Potosí!

This union of the Two Hearts continues to offer salvation and sanctification to mankind today.

Another day, another Madonna video.
Another day, another Madonna video.
Around this time, two years ago, we heard a song that took us aback, it was Fyfe's "Solace." it was simple and gorgeous. Yet, after that song surfaced on some indie blog, there was nothing more heard from this band to be reckoned with. Well, that song that caught our ear just got a video and it's cute. The song brings back some memories for us!
So, everyone's waiting in anticipation for what's next from Adele,but not much information is out. Well, one artist named John Newman instagrammed a picture of Adele outside his studio and then quickly took it off. We wonder what this is all about. Could he be producing something for her or is it a duet. Maybe it's 26? Not sure what this mean, what do you make of it?
UPDATE: Apparently John Newman has been wanting to work with Adele for a while now!
Yeah, we said it before and we will say it again. Ledisi should have done this! Shame on the Grammys for replacing her with Beyonce just for ratings. Ledisi was also nominated that night!

I've had a copy of Slanted magazine's newest issue on my desk for weeks. The pals over at MAGMA Brand Design were very kind to send me a copy, and I enjoyed flipping through the issue very much. Still, I have no idea what to write about it.
Issue 15's theme is "Experimental," which surprises me somewhat. The previous two issues were dedicated to humanist and grotesk-style sans serif typefaces (geometric sans serifs were tackled all the way back in issue 7), and issue 16 promises to be about extremes in type design – the advertised theme is "Bold/Light." Still, Slanted isn't a magazine like Typography Papers. It isn't PAGE, novum, HOW, eye, or baseline either. Slanted is just weird. And by weird, I mean mind-blowingly-awesome, with its finger on the pulse of the now. Its designers at MAGMA Brand Design are some of Germany's best. Whenever I teach a class, one of the first questions I ask my students is to name their favourite typeface. I held a workshop earlier this year where about a quarter of the students all named typefaces that were featured in Slanted 11: Monospace. Typewriter. If you are on the forefront of typography here, you care about Slanted magazine.
Still, an issue titled "Experimental" just doesn't feel right. Everything that Slanted publishes is new; a lot of its contents are short-lived student projects. These are always experimental works. Slanted's layout is a continuing work in progress; articles are often presented in untraditional ways. The entire magazine has been an ongoing experiment, and will hopefully remain so. To single out a crop of work from the past few months or years for this issue – and to label this "experimental" work – seems to run against the grain.
This does not mean, dear readers, that I recommend against purchasing Slanted 15. Most of you are probably long-familiar with Slanted, and will read the issue no matter what I might write here. But, if you are not a Slanted purchaser/reader/subscriber yet, I recommend joining the crowd. Slanted supports design today, and the project itself should be encouraged and supported.
So, what did I particularly enjoy about issue 15? To start off, the cover design comes in lots of different colors. My copy has a cool green-and-orange split fountain printing-thing going on. The black and white photos of Lara Henning and Manuel Wesely's design for the HBK Saar 2011 Diplom exhibition are pretty awesome. Slanted always has a copy of great interviews in each issue. The interviewees are often speakers from the annual Typo Berlin conferences. Shelley Gruendler has an interesting article in this issue called "Just Try."
There are a copy of different paper stocks used in the issue, and I really like the typeface used for the text this time. It is called Korpus, from Michael Mischler and Nik Thoenen at Binnenland. The caps remind me a little bit of Malabar's, which is probably why I like it so much. Of course, it would be awesome if Slanted would use Malabar in an issue; but she would never, ever work on the kind of paper stock they usually print on.

Big Cars And Fancy Suits: The Next Cycle
by Layton Han on Dec 28, 6:36 AM
At this point of the year, we like to prognosticate. It never makes much sense to look at how marketing will change in 2012. It's here. But it does make sense to look at how marketing to affluent customers will change during the next business cycle. It makes sense to try to predict changing market conditions. With that in mind, understand that the changes in affluent customer behavior and attitudes have already happened. They have been affected by the recession and slow recovery. The next business cycle continues to be marked by slow income growth and a potentially game-changing commitment ...

Affluents Shift Gears In Auto Brand Consideration
by Scott Marden on Dec 14, 8:24 AM
The automakers released their 2012 lines a few months age, and we were curious to see how they have been received by affluent consumers. While we didn't look at specific models, our most recent study provides a good view into how well-heeled buyers feel about the leading brands. What it shows is that the average consideration of the 22 major brands studied dropped from 15% in 2010 to just 11% in the fourth quarter of 2011. This loss reflects a decline that has lasted most of 2011. For some brands the impact has been dramatic. However, as you'll see, there ...

Engaging China By Going Public
by Patricia Pao on Dec 7, 6:57 AM
China is forecast to be the world's top buyer of products such as cosmetics, handbags, watches, shoes and clothes by 2015, according to consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers. To capitalize on this opportunity, many luxury goods companies have filed their IPOs or joined the Hong Kong stock exchange.

THE LION KING: Cornerback Ramzee Robinson, the 255th and last pick in the NFL draft, was honored as Mr. Irrelevant at a reception Monday in Newport Beach, Calif.
- Filed Under
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- The man of honor arrived atop the backseat of a Mustang convertible, like a Super Bowl MVP on parade. He saw a row of Fords parked in front of the party -- from an 85-year-old Model T hot rod, to a six-figure GT, to a brand-new Edge. He didn't realize it was just because the Lions are owned by William Clay Ford, grandson of Henry Ford.
"I was like, 'Oh, man, I might get a car,' " Ramzee Robinson said, laughing at himself. "Yeah, right."
The guy had no idea what to expect. And, really, could you blame him? Some people he didn't know from a place he had never been before were throwing an ...

Snark Bites: Is mild-mannered Gov. Bill Haslam secretly Deflector-Man?
Recently, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam's administration has been plagued by controversies over generous contracts with property management firm Jones Lang LaSalle and other matters. During press conferences, the governor often seems almost cornered on these issues by reporters armed with pointed questions.
Yet, poised on the brink of vulnerability, Haslam is mysteriously replaced by his superhero bodyguard, Deflector-Man, who is able to sidestep penetrating questions with a single mouth, albeit sometimes aided by his trusty sidekick, the Human Mouthpiece.
A recent Haslam press conference followed this course, with a reporter asking if Haslam could profit from the contract with Jones Lang LaSalle, in which Haslam at one time held investments.
Haslam's stalwart chum and paid political advisor, Tom Ingram, accompanied him to the news conference and answered simultaneously with Haslam, "Zero chance."
The reporter continued, "How can you be sure, when all of your investments, except those in Pilot Flying J, are in a blind trust?"
As Haslam stammered "Er, uh," Ingram asked to be excused for a moment. Sensing an opening, another reporter asked, "Gov. Haslam, why for months did you keep your payments to Mr. Ingram off the state books?"
Haslam jumped at that question, saying, "Because the political advice he gave me wasn't related to state government. Ha! Gotcha!"
But the journalist carried on, saying, "What political advice can Ingram possibly give you unrelated to your state duties? Plus, if he is advising you on political matters unconnected to Tennessee, don't Tennesseans deserve to know you aren't focusing your full attention on them?"
Hemming and hawing, Haslam said, "Well, hm, you see, ah, um."
Suddenly, from the spot where Ingram exited, the Human Mouthpiece leapt to the podium and threw himself in front of the governor, shouting, "Duck, Mr. Governor! Duck that question!" Haslam dipped behind the speaker's stand.
Dressed in a flak jacket and an oversized helmet shaped like an athletic mouthguard, the Human Mouthpiece redirected the question back at the assembled media correspondents, saying, "As governor, Mr. Haslam attends the needs of Tennesseans, but he is also a private individual, just as you are all private citizens but also paid news hacks, who wouldn't like your personal affairs hacked into, would you?"
Ignoring the dental dam dynamo's statement, another reported called out, "Where did Ingram go?" Deflector-Man, covered head to toe in bubble wrap coated with impenetrable Teflon, popped up from behind the lectern and announced that, as a precaution, Ingram had whisked Haslam to a secure location.
Unconvinced, the reporter said, "Yeah, right. Are you Gov. Haslam in disguise?"
Deflector-Man countered, "The Human Mouthpiece will address that question."
The Human Mouthpiece then replied, "Yes, Mr. Govern — Ah, Governor Haslam's interests are varied, but to suggest one of them is disguising himself is absurd."
But the reporter persisted, "Do you honestly expect us to believe this here deacon of diversion is Haslam's bodyguard?"
Deflector-Man interrupted, saying, "It is one thing to question the official story and another thing to insinuate that I am, that Gov. Haslam is a superhero."
"I never said you were a superhero," the reporter retorted.
The sultan of sidetracking said, "You didn't? But you said — "
The journalist continued, "You're no hero, Deflector-Man; you're the embodiment of evasion, bobbing and weaving from legitimate questions."
At this point, a representative from a group of reporters who briefly had withdrawn from the conference to consult together stepped forward to say they didn't care if Haslam was Howdy-Doody in disguise — although she added that, if he was a disguised puppet, it was a poor disguise. Nonetheless, her message was that the group wanted answers about Jones Lang LaSalle.
She said, "Even state legislators from Haslam's own Republican Party have expressed concerns about JLL's lucrative contract. How does the governor respond to that?"
Instead of answering, Deflector-Man cried, "So, some of you believe Gov. Haslam and I are the same person? You're wrong. Mouthy, bring in the governor."
The personal pie-hole protector escorted in a stiff-looking Haslam, clutching him by the elbow.
In unison, the journalists yelled, "That's a cardboard cutout!" But as the reporters jeered the transparency of the ploy, the masters of media manipulation fled, gloating that they had once again thwarted their arch-nemesis, the power of the press.

So sure, Evil Dead might not be considered an independent film, but the first (directed by Sam Raimi) certainly was. In homage, we will go see this.
In the much anticipated remake of the 1981 cult-hit horror film, five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin. When they discover a Book of the Dead, they unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival.
If you attend our movies, we encourage you to pay your membership fee to cover our Meetup costs. If you aren't sure if you have, you can go to Account > Payments Made > Membership Dues. It should also show up on your profile for the film group.
I should note that Corn Stock Theatre in doing Evil Dead: The Musical in their 2013 winter lineup.
I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention pertains to servomotors and servomechanisms generally, and in one facet, to throttle position sensors integrated with throttle actuator motors.
2. Description of the Related Art
For many years, man has relied upon motors to assist in various work functions. With the advent of more advanced electrical and electronic circuits, motors have been controlled by these circuits to improve efficiencies, provide precision placements or timings, and perform other various monitoring and control functions. Motor control has enabled man to use motors in applications beyond those strictly requiring great force or enduring power.
Motors today are used for positioning with more precision in space or time than obtainable with hand manipulation, and in environments which are inhospitable to human presence. These motors, commonly referred to as servomotors, form a part of a servomechanism. The control of the servomotor is often derived from a sensor directly attached to the motor, and may also be derived from other remote sensors. The servomotor may include a rotary, linear or other type of motor, depending upon the requirements of each specific application.
Machines as complex as most transportation vehicles today have many applications for servomechanisms. One specific application involves the control of internal combustion engine throttle. Control of throttle in passenger cars and trucks is usually dependent upon the position of an accelerator pedal, which represents vehicle operator demand. The accelerator pedal position, or demand, is then linked to the engine throttle. Accelerator pedal movement was transmitted for many years through mechanical linkages consisting of solid rods and ball joints. In some applications, the solid rod linkage was replaced by a cable within a sleeve, referred to in the trade as a Bowden cable. These mechanical linkages are prone to problems which tend to affect all mechanical systems, such as sticking, freezing, breakage, and other mishaps. In addition, adaptation of the mechanical linkages to allow for special features such as more efficient energy utilization, reduced emissions, idle speed control, and "limp-home" modes of operation are generally not practical, or even possible in some cases.
By using a sensor to sense accelerator demand, a servomotor to control the throttle position, and a computer system to control operation of the throttle relative to the input from the accelerator pedal sensor and other various sensed inputs, a variety of special features may be incorporated into the accelerator-throttle linkage. In these computer-assisted systems, the throttle linkage is commonly referred to as a "drive-by-wire" system, since the linkage is electrical.
The servomechanism becomes a remote control system, since a vehicle operator within a climate controlled passenger compartment controls a throttle located in the harsh climate of an engine compartment. In fact, remote control is a very common use for servomechanisms. The control of functions ranging from TV and radio tuners to space shuttle door releases and valve controls all are remote control applications. Once again, the desire for remote control may stem from precision in timing or positioning achievable from the servomechanism, or from the need to control a function in a harsh environment where human interventions may not be practical.
Each of these applications require a motor, and also a sensor to sense the position of the motor. A number of schemes have been devised for coupling the sensor to the motor, including magnetic coupling, where the sensor detects the magnetic flux produced by certain section of the armature optical coupling, where a toothed wheel breaks a passage of light or a reflective surface reflects the light during rotation; mechanical coupling, where the motor armature is used to directly drive the sensor or drive the sensor through such mechanical devices as gears, and other known methods. Each of these different coupling methods has benefit in specific applications.
In addition to coupling the sensor and the motor, the sensor must also be physically positioned relative to the motor. Direct integration between the motor stator, also sometimes referred to as the field winding, and the sensor is desirable, since parts counts are reduced and common functions may be removed to avoid duplication and reduce cost. In the prior art, direct integration often involved the placement of an open frame sensor, often of the resistive or magnetic field sensing type, directly within a servomotor housing designed to contain both the motor and the sensor. The relatively light weight sensor is easily carried within the more rugged motor housing, and the housing does not need to be duplicated for both components. Unfortunately, in this type of prior art servomotor, the sensor is exposed to contaminants from the motor which are adverse to the life and reliability of the sensor. In addition, less control is available over the contactor, paint and lubricant. All three must be carefully controlled to ensure long life and reliability of the sensor. For example, a sensor designed to operate through tens or hundreds of millions of cycles will fail after only a few million cycles if the contactor is bent. In addition, the motor may be destroyed if some part of the sensor should detach, flow or bend and interfere with motor movement.
An alternative prior art design combines a fully housed, assembled and tested sensor with a similarly housed and assembled motor. The sensor is merely driven from the motor shaft, with no other interaction between the two components. This design eliminates any concerns about contamination of the sensor or motor. Unfortunately, the parts which must be handled, inventoried, and serviced is also greater, as is the cost of the components. Furthermore, the fully housed sensor of the prior art generally includes a separate set of bearings from the motor, leading to potential axial misalignment of bearings, which will result in early failure of the sensor bearings. In fact, proper axial alignment is very crucial to the longevity of a servomotor.
A position sensor is combined with a coil by a novel retaining ring. Electrical connection of the coil is achieved entirely through the position sensor, which is housed separately from the coil. In one facet of the invention, the coil is cylindrical and coaxial with the position sensor, and the position sensor is a rotary type potentiometer. In another facet of the invention, the retaining ring is ultrasonically bonded to the potentiometer housing and clamps a lip on the coil housing to retain the coil to the position sensor. In another facet of the invention, a throttle shaft is actuated by a servomotor which is formed as an integral structure and terminated through terminals extending from the servomotor position sensor housing.
A first object of the invention is the integration of a sensor and motor to form a servomotor. Another object of the invention is to form a reliable servomotor which is capable of exposure to harsh and rugged environments while still retaining high reliability and long life. Yet another object of the invention is a reduced piece part servomotor which may be produced with high yield in modular fashion with minimal waste and maximum yield. These and other objects of the invention are achieved in the preferred embodiment, which may be understood from the following description and drawing figures.
FIG. 1 illustrates a preferred embodiment servomotor in accord with the invention from an exploded perspective view.
FIG. 2 illustrates the servomotor of FIG. 1 from a top view with the cover and retainer ring removed for improved viewing detail.
FIG. 3 illustrates a cross-section view of the servomotor of FIG. 2 taken along section line 3, with the cover and retaining ring in place.
FIGS. 1-3 illustrate servomotor 100, with FIG. 1 shown from an exploded view, without an armature for purposes of illustration. Therein, sensor 200 forms a base upon which the additional components may be assembled. Sensor 200 is very similar to those illustrated in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,460,035 and 5,520,044 to Pfaffenberger and assigned to the present assignee, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference. Other sensors of the Hall effect type which can be adapted to the teachings of the present invention are illustrated in copending U.S. patent applications Ser. Nos. 08/206,982, 08/206,474, and 08/206,568 each filed Mar. 4, 1994 and assigned to the present assignee, and each incorporated herein by reference.
Into sensor 200 a cover 300 is placed, and onto sensor 200 stator 400 is placed. Stator 400 includes a wound coil 405 which has been overmolded with a plastic shell 410. While overmolding with plastic is illustrated, one of skill in the art will understand that molding is one of many alternatives available for encapsulating wound coil 405, and that shell 410 may be formed by potting or any other suitable alternative. Stator 400 additionally includes a retention lip 415 and electrical terminations 420 and 425 (termination 425 is visible in FIG. 2). Retention lip 415 is generally circular, but does not extend adjacent terminations 420 and 425, thereby ensuring as much access as possible to terminations 420, 425 during assembly. Termination clips 500 and 505 will assist in making electrical connection between terminations 420, 425 and the appropriate terminals within sensor 200. Retainer 600 fits along its outer diameter within stator 400 but not past retention lip 415.
Stator 400 is assembled to sensor 200 by first guiding terminals 420 and 425 into alignment passageways 220 and 222, and ultimately into contact with sensor terminals 202 and 210. Electrical connection between sensor terminal 210 and termination 420 is achieved with bow tie shaped termination clip 505, and electrical connection between sensor terminal 202 and termination 425 is similarly achieved with bow tie termination clip 500. Termination clips 500, 505 are pressed from the position shown in FIG. 1 into engagement with respective terminals 202, 210 and terminations 425, 420, where they provide a spring force to maintain each terminal in sound electrical contact with the respective termination. Other methods of electrical interconnection besides the bow tie design clips 500, 505 are contemplated, including other clip geometries and other methods such as soldering, spot welding and other known methods, depending upon the requirements for the specific application. However, bow tie termination clips 500 and 505 are preferred for ease of assembly.
Once electrical interconnection between sensor 200 and stator 400 is achieved, mechanical support is required. Mechanical support is obtained in the preferred embodiment through the attachment of stator shell 410 to sensor 200. While various methods were contemplated for this attachment, including direct attachment between stator shell 410 and sensor 200, in the preferred embodiment of the invention retainer 600 is used. Retainer 600 passes within the inner diameter of plastic shell 410. but not within retention lip 415. Retainer 600 is shaped to extend beyond retention lip 415 to engage sensor 200. In the preferred embodiment, retainer 600 is placed adjacent retention lip 415 and then pressed against sensor 200. Next, retainer 600 is ultrasonically welded to sensor 200. The space available for a motor armature on the inner diameter of stator 400 provides access for electrical connection with termination clips 500, 505, and also provides access required for the ultrasonic welding process. While ultrasonic welding is preferred due to the rapid assembly achieved. relatively low cost, and cleanliness of operation, other known methods of adhesion may also be used, such as gluing, heat staking, etc. However, the attachment method must take into consideration the desire to not disturb the components and features within sensor 200, so as to preserve the life and reliability of sensor 200.
The assembled servomotor 100 is illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 shows from a top view the assembled servomotor, with cover 300, retainer 600 and armature 430 removed. to allow viewing of the many elements therein. FIG. 3 shows a cross-section of servomotor 100 with cover 300. retainer 600 and armature 430 in place, and also including throttle body barrel 700, otherwise taken along section line 3 of FIG. 2. Terminals 202 and 210 provide electrical connection to wound coil 405, which consists of winding 404 and coil core 406. Electrical connection is accomplished from terminal 210 to termination 420 with the aid of termination clip 505. Termination 420 may be soldered, spot welded, wire-wrapped or otherwise attached to winding 404, preferably prior to forming of plastic shell 410. Terminal 202 comprises the other electrical connection to winding 404, through termination clip 500 and termination 425. The additional terminals 204, 206 and 208 provide positive and negative supply voltage and sensed position output. It will be understood that one or more of these terminals can be combined, depending upon the requirements of each individual application.
Rotor cup 212 engages armature shaft 435 and is featured to be properly positioned therewith along shaft locator flat 440. As armature 430 is rotated, rotor cup 212 will also be rotated. This in turn causes movement of contactor 216, which provides electrical connection on resistance element 218. the position which is represented by a voltage which is transmitted through one of terminals 204-208. Sensor 200 additionally includes a housing 250 which has four mounting holes 252, 254, 256 and 258 therein. Mounting holes 252-258 are used to retain sensor 200 and stator 400 in place, and so are heavier than would normally be found on a prior art sensor.
Most visible in FIG. 3 are the press-fit diameters 260 and 412, and mounting stop 262. The present servomotor is designed specifically for throttle applications, and is designed to fit within barrel 700 on the side of a throttle body. Barrel 700 is cylindrical, so plastic shell 410 will be inserted first into barrel 700, then press-fit 412, next press-fit 260, and finally mounting stop 262 will engage barrel 700, thereby ensuring tight fit and proper mounting placement. Other features will be provided by one skilled in the art for other mounting geometries.
Also visible in FIG. 3 is the placement of retainer 600 into retainer groove 264. The inside diameter of welding protrusion 605 is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of retainer groove 264, causing interference between the two. Ultrasonic energy is used in the preferred embodiment to cause the interfering material to be flowed out as retainer 600 is welded to sensor housing 250. Retainer 600 also engages retention lip 415, thereby holding stator 400 to sensor 200. In this preferred embodiment, retainer 600 is placed inside stator 400. However, one of skill in the art will observe from the teachings herein that other placements are available, such as around the outer diameter of stator 400. When retainer 600 is placed inside stator 400, cover 300 may be formed integrally with retainer 600 as opposed to being formed separately as illustrated. By forming integrally, assembly is simplified and piece part count is further reduced.
Direct mechanical coupling between armature 430 and sensor 200 is illustrated in the preferred embodiment, though other coupling methods will be apparent to those skilled in the art. A variety of sensor types may be also used, including resistive, magnetoresistive, Hall cell, etc., depending upon the requirements of each particular servomotor application. Furthermore, shaft 435 may be the throttle shaft, onto which armature 430 has been placed.
It is very important that stator 400 be placed coaxially with rotor cup 212 and housing 250. Optimum motor performance requires an absolute minimum of clearance between stator 400 and armature 430. Lack of concentricity will either increase minimum tolerances required therebetween, or will lead to interference, which would adversely affect motor performance. To ensure concentricity, the coil and housing are fixtured together on a common pilot during ultrasonic welding.
While the foregoing details what is felt to be the preferred embodiment of the invention, no material limitations to the scope of the claimed invention are intended. Further, features and design alternatives that would be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art are considered to be incorporated herein. The scope of the invention is set forth and particularly described in the claims hereinbelow.

Bravo (ended 2011)
I really like the variety of artists on the show. The critiques are sometimes waaaay out there and I disagree often, but sometimes the judges offer a the audience a fresh and different perspective!
I agree with you on the other artist trashing the artist who is in the hot seat with the judges. Like they have real power or something. That is hurtful x2. They have built up friendships and it's just plain rude. But maybe the tv directors told them to do it, who knows.
I don't really like reality shows. I have all the reality I can deal with in my life, but as an artist I like this one. Just lucky surfing one day and found it.
I also wonder about the judges, it's their taste. They have trashed some art that I really liked. And then they have praised some that, I don't get.
So art is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
I like that I can form my own opinion about someone's piece of art and then I can hear some "professional" points of views. And on top of that you get to see some of the artist's process and their point of view.
I heard someone say "This isn't Art!" What the hell? How is it not art? Who the hell do these people think they are? Seriously.
All the people who are on the show are artists. They all have there special talents and can produce amazing work. The work that they make for the show was timed. So they might not be making the best decisions about what to draw or paint or photograph or how to do it, but that doesn't mean they aren't artists, and that what they produce isn't art.
