Abstract: A stator for an electric motor or generator, the stator comprising a circumferential support having a plurality of first engagement elements distributed about the circumferential support, a first resiliently deformable element having a first temperature sensing element mounted on the circumferential support, a plurality of teeth for receiving coil windings, wherein each tooth includes a second engagement element to allow engagement with a first engagement element on the circumferential support for allowing each tooth to be mounted on the circumferential support, wherein coil windings on a tooth are arranged to engage with the first temperature sensing element when the tooth is being mounted to the circumferential support with the first resiliently deformable element being arranged to deform upon the coil windings on the tooth engaging with the first temperature sensing element to move the temperature sensing element from a first position to a second position.

Abstract: An arrangement for mounting a coil winding on a stator tooth, the arrangement comprising a mounting element having a first mounting arm for receiving a first stator tooth and a second mounting arm for receiving a second stator tooth, wherein the first mounting arm is movable relative to the second mounting arm between a first position and a second position; means for mounting an electrical conductor on the first stator tooth and the second stator tooth when the first mounting arm is in the first position relative to the second mounting arm to form a coil winding on the first stator tooth and the second stator tooth; and means for placing the first mounting arm in the second position relative to the second mounting arm when the conductor has been mounted on the first stator tooth and the second stator tooth to allow the first stator tooth and the second stator tooth to be removed from the first mounting arm and the second mounting arm respectively.

Abstract: A side-lying pillow that provides back, pelvis, and joint support comprising a main pillow body connected along a connection side to a wedge support pillow. In use, the side-lying pillow is secured in place by the support wedge pillow, which is compressed under a user's body. The side-lying pillow provides the user with support from the main pillow body.
