  • Patent number: 9866086
    Abstract: An electric machine has a stator and a rotor. The rotor is arranged on a rotor shaft that can be rotated about an axis of rotation. The stator surrounds the rotor radially on the outside with respect to the axis of rotation. The stator is surrounded radially on the outside by a one-piece housing with respect to the axis of rotation. As viewed around the axis of rotation, the housing extends only over a partial angular range. As viewed around the axis of rotation, a remaining angular range, in which the stator is not surrounded by the housing, thus remains. In end regions located at the ends of the partial angular range, the housing has housing-side form-closure elements, which cause a form closure of the housing with the stator in interaction with stator-side form-closure elements.

  • Patent number: 9864024
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance coil arrangement for a magnetic resonance device includes at least two coil elements that may be read and/or controlled via an amplifier, and a matching circuit for power and/or noise matching between the at least two coil elements and the amplifier. Components of the matching circuit are dimensioned for wideband matching to a frequency band. The frequency band is limited by outermost relevant coupling modes that are displaced from the resonant frequency. The coupling modes occur due to the interaction of a coil element with at least one adjacent coil element.
