Abstract: An iron core winding is such that a winding of a given polarity is coiled in series so that the beginning of each coiling and the ending of each coiling cross on a magnetic pole that is positioned in the direction of a circumference of the iron core. When the winding of the magnetic core with the given polarity is completed, the winding direction is reversed and the remainder of the winding, which has the opposite polarity, is coiled in series so that the beginning of each coiling and the ending of each coiling cross in the reversed direction. A variable reluctance angle detector uses the iron core winding. The number of windings of the output winding is the same for each pole, and an induced voltage output of a sine wave is obtained.

Abstract: A flux compensated rotational position detector includes a rotating element having a plurality of magnetic poles extending over its entire periphery, and a fixed element having a plurality of protruding fixed-element magnetic poles with fixed-element magnetic pole teeth opposing the rotating element, and first and second compensating poles disposed on either side of the fixed-element magnetic poles, the first and second compensating poles having respective first and second magnetic pole teeth opposing the rotating element, wherein the fixed element does not form a closed magnetic path around the entire periphery of the rotating element, magnetizing windings are provided on all of the first and second compensating poles and the fixed-element magnetic poles, and sine output and cosine output windings are provided on each of the fixed element magnetic poles. Methods for operating the detector are also described.

Abstract: A thread rolling machine forming a threaded member from a workpiece includes a die, a device for rotating the die, a device for generating a load applied to the die in a workpiece-feeding direction, a member that deforms under the applied load during a thread rolling operation, a strain gauge that generates a signal indicative of the deformation of the member under the applied load, and a computer that calculates the load applied during thread rolling operation based on the signal generated by the strain gauge. The computer can generate a feedback signal permitting control of the applied load generated by the thread rolling machine by controlling either the load generating device or the die-rotating device. An operating method for a thread rolling machine is also described.

Abstract: A rotor transformer positioning mechanism permitting automatic positioning of a rotor transformer, having a first winding, relative to a rotor stack, having a second winding, mounted on a common rotary shaft to thereby permit a crossover having a predetermined length to be installed between the first and second windings includes a crossover positioning cutout disposed in a first flange of the rotor transformer. In an exemplary case, the rotor transformer includes the first flange and a second flange disposed on opposite ends of the first coil, and the second flange is proximate to the crossover. A method of assembling a rotating machine using the rotor transformer positioning mechanism is also described.

Abstract: A resolver terminal attachment structure for a resolver (500) including a stator core (1) constructed from multiple laminated plates providing multiple stationary magnetic poles (3) with attendant stationary magnetic pole teeth (4) that protrude in a direction that faces the center of a stator yoke (2), the magnetic poles adapted to accept a stator winding, includes a lead wire fixture (6), which electrically couples the stator winding to a lead wire (204) via attachment pins(7), and two protrusions (2a, 2b) formed integrally and unitarily with the stator core at the outside of the stator core for supporting the lead wire fixture between the protrusions.

Abstract: A stator core 1 is surrounded by a first insulating member 40 and a second insulating member 41. Locking protrusions 9 are formed on the outer periphery of the stator core 1, and the locking protrusions 9 form a keyway 11. A modular connector 2 includes a key part 21 that fits within the keyway 11 to secure the modular connector 2 to the stator core 1. Fastening pins 18 are embedded in the modular connector 2 to conduct electricity from a mating connector 91 and a lead line 93 to the resolver.

Abstract: An endo-osteal material which includes an endo-osteal material treated with a solution of a bisphosphonate of formula (1) wherein X is H, OH, Cl, F or a methyl group and Y is Cl, OH, --(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --N(CH.sub.3)--(CH.sub.2).sub.4 --CH.sub.3, --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --CH.sub.3 or --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --NH.sub.2, where n is zero or an integer being 1 to 8, --NHZ, where Z is pyridinyl or cycloheptyl, SZ', where Z' is pyridinyl or chlorosubstituted phenyl or Y is a pyridinylsubstituted lower alkyl chain; or a non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof dissolved in an appropriate solvent.

Abstract: A carboxyterminal propeptide of type I procollagen free from type III procollagen carboxyterminal propeptide can be used to produce an antibody which is specific for carboxyterminal propeptide of type I procollagen and which has no affinity for the type III procollagen carboxyterminal propeptide. This antibody can be used to assay more accurately the propeptide which is a measure of the rate of production of type I procollagen and useful in diagnosing and monitoring e.g. bone diseases.
