Abstract: The present invention relates to a cooling jacket for cooling a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor, wherein the cooling jacket comprises bearing housing cooling portion and a stator cooling portion, wherein the stator cooling portion comprises stator coolant guiding channel having an enlarged middle section. The flow splitter having a shape that corresponds to the enlarged middle section is disposed at the middle of this enlarged section. The flow splitter has the same height as that of the partition wall, and the upper surface of the flow splitter is curved to form a seal with the inner surface of the stator outer housing. At the middle of the stator coolant guiding channel, there is provided a middle rib that extends in the spiral shape around the circumference of the stator cooling portion. The middle rib has a lower height than the height of the partition wall.

In particular, the focusing mechanism for the optical system by gear and timing belt consists of the following components: the optical front cover module (including the first lens element, the middle lens element, the mechanical of front cover); The optical rear cover module (including last lens element, mechanical of rear cover); The focusing mechanism (including adjustment ring, radial shaft seal, transmission shaft, timing pulley, timing belt, ball bearing, large gear); The protection and mounting mechanical system (including mechanical protection cover, internal mounting mechanical system). The method of focusing for the optical system by mean of gear and timing belt consists of the following steps: Step 1: Integrating the mechanism into the mechanical of the system; Step 2: Adjusting the final lens element; Step 3: Identifying the most convergent position of the optical system.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electrical connector having a substrate and movable electrical contacts which are mounted to the substrate and extend a distance D from the substrate. A layer of compressible material (such as a foam or elastomeric material) is positioned on the substrate adjacent at least some of the electrical contacts and ideally has an uncompressed thickness slightly greater than the distance D to provide for protection of the electrical contacts. When a mating electrical device such as an electrical connector or other circuit member is mated to the electrical connector with its electrical contacts and its layer of compressible material, the layer of compressible material is compressed to a thickness less than the distance D, allowing the contacts to make a suitable electrical interconnection to the mating electrical device.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, systems, and apparatuses for providing real time intraprocedural operational feedback to the operator as to the success of a renal denervation procedure and its overall effectiveness for reducing the blood pressure of a subject to allow for more precise and thorough ablation of the renal artery and better patient outcomes. Using this real time feedback generated through the electrical stimulation of multiple points about the circumference of the renal artery at specific times during the procedure, the operator can assess the desired procedural endpoint and whether the amount of renal denervation provided to the subject is sufficient, or whether the subject may benefit from further denervation of the renal artery. The present disclosure provides means for providing real time intraprocedural feedback to the operator that can be incorporated into conventional renal denervation catheters and equipment.
