Abstract: A permanent magnet rotor for a permanent magnet synchronous-run induction-state motor is disclosed. The rotor has Rare Earth magnets disposed in apertures in unitary laminations and parallel to a tangent to the shaft. The magnets are magnetized outwardly so that the direct flux of the magnets is additive to the direct axis flux of the stator at no load. The rotor has a squirrel cage winding and the ends of each magnet aperture are in communication through a flux barrier space to the inner end of an adjacent conductor bar aperture of the squirrel cage winding. The unitary laminations each have an even plurality of radially directed reinforcing ribs disposed along the magnetic neutral axes. The flux barriers are wide relative to the circumferential width of the reinforcing ribs for a minimum of circumferential leakage flux. The leakage flux from one magnet radially through a rib is in opposition to the leakage flux through that rib from the adjacent magnet for substantially zero net leakage flux therein.

Abstract: An ignition system for an internal combustion engine having an AC generator compriss an ignition coil energized by an output from the generator. At an angle in advance of ignition timing, a first thyristor connected across the generator output terminals is turned on to permit a short-circuit current therethrough. A capacitor is charged by an output from the generator, and is discharged through a second thyristor which is triggeed at the ignition angle. The discharge current is reversely applied to the first thyristor and the first thyristor is turned off. Interruption of the short-circuit current through the first thyristor leads to a large current through the primary of the ignition coil, causing a high voltage in the secondary with resultant spark in the ignition plug.

Abstract: A sequencing control circuit is provided for a door operator motor which is connected to open and close a garage door as controlled by signals from manual switches and load switches. The sequencing control circuit includes time delay means with a first time delay period in the order of six to eight seconds.
