Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning commercially-available, bulk bird seed is disclosed. The invention being mainly comprised of three main parts: a first part being a rectangular-shaped container; a second part being collection chambers; and a third part being an adjustable fan . A user pours bird seed into an open slot in the case. As the seed enters the case, a fan is used to entrain the seeds. Heavier, viable seeds fall out of the air stream into one chamber of the device, and lighter, fugitive husk falls out of the air stream into another chamber. An object of the invention is to automatically segregate and clean bird seed in preparation for feeding birds of various sizes.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric machine (10), in particular a generator for a motor vehicle, comprising an exciter system composed of a plurality of electrically excited salient poles. The salient poles can be designed within the stator (16) or rotor (20) in the form of electromagnetically excited poles (22, 23; 24, 25) which are axially and radially oriented on the periphery and are alternatively polarized in the peripheral direction. In order to improve performance and reduce the magnetic leakage flux, permanent magnets (66), which are secured by means of a magnetically non-excitable holding element (60), are inserted into interstices (74) between the alternating poles (24, 25). The holding element (60) is bilaterally mounted in pole grooves (92, 94), is radially, axially, and tangentially resilient, and has a wave-shaped (62) and/or bead-shaped (76, 78; 86) profile.

Furthermore, the plates (5) of the plate assemblies (6) comprise centering lugs (1) which serve to radially center the plate assembly (6) relative to the shaft (10).

Abstract: An apparatus for direction-finding a received radio signal is disclosed. The receiving apparatus selectively receives on a predetermined frequency to match the transmitter frequency. The receiving apparatus comprises of two or three antennas, including one or two loop antennas that work in conjunction with a third reference antenna (whose phase does not vary when its orientation changes relative to the transmitter) such as a dipole, monopole or helical antenna. By comparing the phase between the antennas the direction of the incoming RF signal can be determined. In some embodiments, the windings of the two loop antennas are wound in reverse with respect to each other in order to substantially double the sensitivity of the signal-detection capabilities.
