Abstract: An eccentric-motion motor for driving a utilization mechanism includes a stator defining a closed surface pathway, an armature composed of a permanent magnet rollably disposed on the closed surface pathway, a series of electromagnetic elements disposed in the stator along the closed surface pathway, circuitry for successively energizing the electromagnetic elements to cause them to attract and/or repel the armature so that it rolls along the closed surface pathway, and a coupler mechanism for coupling the armature to the utilization mechanism so that as the armature is caused to roll, the utilization mechanism is powered by the operation of the motor.
Abstract: An engine control device comprises generation current detecting means for detecting generation current of the generator, current value fluctuation removing means for removing the fluctuation of the output of the generation current detecting means, and correction quantity calculating means for calculating the correction quantity of intake gas into said engine in accordance with the output of the current fluctuation removing means.
Abstract: A circuit breaker comprises a static switch electrically connected in series with a disconnecting switch having an operating mechanism with a handle to close and open a system of main contacts. A voltage sensor ocmprises an electromagnet with a moving core capable of occupying an active locking position and an inactive unlocking position of the mechanism, respectively in the on state and in the off state of the switch. Opening of the disconnecting switch is inhibited if voltage is present on the output terminals.
