  • Publication number: 20230143271
    Abstract: An electric motor has a rotor and a stator (1) with a first winding space (11) to receive a multiplicity of coil windings (12) wound from a winding wire. A second winding space (20), connected to the respective first winding space (11), is provided as a winding space extension of the first winding space (11) in order to receive at least one wire portion (21) of the winding wire. Two receiving pockets (24, 25), situated opposite one another in the circumferential direction (U), are formed in the at least one second winding space (20) in order to respectively receive the at least one wire portion (21) of the winding wire.

  • Patent number: 8340737
    Abstract: A current lead (1) for connecting a superconducting load system (5), in particular, a magnet coil, to a current feed point (3a) that is at a higher temperature than the load system (5) comprises a flat, elongated carrier (6) and a plurality of mechanical and electrical parallel high-temperature superconductors (HTSC) (10), wherein the HTSCs (10) are disposed side by side on the carrier (6). The carrier (6) is made of stainless steel, and a plurality of HTSCs (10) are each disposed side by side on two opposite carrier (6) sides of the carrier. The carrier (6) is constituted in the shape of a plate with cut-outs (15; 15a-15d). The current lead has a high current capacity and low thermal conductivity and provides improved emergency conduction properties in case of failure of the superconductivity in the HTSC.

  • Patent number: 7110853
    Abstract: A process and device for computer-aided adaptation of an application program for a machine tool is described. A sequence of control commands for feed axes of the machine tool defines a contour to be traveled by a tool relative to a workpiece. Based on the sequence of control commands, a computer determines sequential instructions for a round axle of the machine tool to track the contour and determines if, and possibly at which locations, the contour has angular or curvature discontinuities. When such angular or curvature discontinuities occur, the computer determines sequential instructions, so that the round axle begins to start accelerating before the angle or curvature discontinuities occurs, and the acceleration of the round axle terminates only after the angle or curvature discontinuity has ended.

  • Publication number: 20050058769
    Abstract: A method for the production of an allover covering made of an electric insulation material made of plastic disposed around at least one superconductor comprises the steps of making a flexible tube of a melted thermoplastic insulation material which is extruded on the surface of the superconductor. In order to obtain a mechanical reinforcement, a portion of fibres of a fibrous material are added to the thermoplastic insulation material.

  • Patent number: 6735495
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for guiding the motion of a moveable machine element, the orientation of the machine element is defined by an orientation vector that can be programmed in each set. The orientation vector can be obtained by a linear great circle interpolation in a plane spanned by a start vector and an end vector. In more general cases, polynomials can be used in the program, enabling an almost arbitrary definition of the path that determines how the end vector is obtained. The interpolated orientation vector can also be rotated out of the plane by an arbitrary angle. An extended interpolation permits a representation of orientation changes on a conical surface having an arbitrary orientation in space. This enables the orientation axes to move across several sets with continuous velocity and acceleration.
