Patent number: 11984781Abstract: An electric machine includes a rotor rotatable about a rotational axis, by which an axial direction is defined, and a stator with stator windings, a coolant distributor space and a coolant collector space. The coolant distributor space communicates fluidically with the coolant collector space to cool the stator windings with a cooling duct. The stator includes stator teeth supporting the stator windings and protruding radially inward from a stator body of the stator. A stator groove is formed between two stator teeth which has a radially outer groove zone extending radially inward away from the stator body into a radially inner groove zone, the radially inner zone width of which is smaller than the radially outer zone width, when measured along the circumferential direction, of the radially outer groove zone. At least one stator winding is embedded, for thermal coupling, into an electrically insulating plastic arranged in the stator groove.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2020Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: MAHLE INTERNATIONAL GMBHInventors: John Cunningham, Philip Grabherr, Ian Webb, Tim Male, Stojan Markic, Graham Sentance, Peter Sever, Josef Sonntag, Jon Witcombe

Patent number: 5818959Abstract: A method of constructing a three-dimensional image from a plurality of two-dimensional images is comprised of the steps of selecting one of the images to be a reference image and selecting a second image. One or more points in the second image are identified as possible match points for each point in the reference image. The other images are used to verify the possible match points found in the second image. The projections of the possible match points are grouped into three-dimensional regions, and the regions are projected onto the reference image for the purpose of identifying false regions. The false region are eliminated and a three-dimensional image is constructed by combining the remaining regions.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1995Date of Patent: October 6, 1998Assignee: Visual Interface, Inc.Inventors: Jon A.
