Abstract: An electric motor comprises: a motor housing, a stator connected to the motor housing, wherein the stator comprises first stator end-windings and second stator end-windings, a rotor rotatable relative to the stator, a driveshaft connected to the rotor in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the driveshaft is rotatably supported in the motor housing about an axis of rotation, wherein an axial cooling arrangement is arranged axially adjacent and radially overlapping one of the first and second stator end-windings, wherein the axial cooling arrangement comprises a fluid chamber with a plurality of nozzles distributed in circumferential direction and directed towards said one of the first and second stator end-windings.

Abstract: This invention falls within the scope of steganography, i.e., encoding of information (such as a text) into other information, for example, an image. It is the object of this invention a computational method for generating at least one image with coded information comprising the steps of: i) associating an information to be coded to a plurality of graphic elements, each of the graphic elements consisting of a symbol out of a plurality of symbols, thus generating a pattern of graphic elements and ii) generating at least one image comprising at least one pattern obtained from step i). This method introduces a consistent and highly flexible way of encoding information into an image. Additionally, this invention has also as object a system associated to the said method, images obtained from the said method, as well as a reading method and system thereof.

Abstract: A method for transferring an EMV chip from a first card to a second card, the method comprising the steps of: heating a first body of the first card in a vicinity of the EMV chip so as to weaken adhesion of the EMV chip with a first receptacle of the first body; bending a first body surface of the first body adjacent to the EMV chip, such that first body surface becomes non parallel with a metal contact surface of the EMV chip; removing the EMV chip from the first receptacle; positioning an applied adhesive between a back surface of the EMV chip and an opposing surface of a second receptacle of the second card, the second receptacle in a second body of the second card; and maintaining the EMV chip in the second receptacle until the applied adhesive has cured.

Abstract: An intelligent automatic license plate recognition (IALPR) system implements technical solutions that improve the accuracy of automatic license plate recognition. The IALPR analyzes an image of a vehicle proximate to a toll collection point using optical character recognition (OCR), and determines candidate license plate identifications based, at least in part, on the corresponding OCR confidence level. The IALPR can also perform fingerprinting for candidate license plate images and matching analysis with a knowledge base, resulting in additional confidence levels. The IALPR can also perform behavioral analysis on the candidate license plate identifications, including trip context analysis, historical behavioral analysis, or other analytics. The IALPR can generate an overall confidence level for the candidate license plate identifications responsive to the OCR and vehicle fingerprint confidence levels and the behavioral analysis.

Abstract: A method for tracing an electronic mail message to determine when the recipient has opened the message is disclosed. A server is provided which intercepts e-mail messages intended for the recipient. The server modifies the e-mail to add HTML code to the message and forwards the message to the recipient. The HTML code causes the recipient's mail client program to request a file from the server. When the server detects the request, it knows that the mail message has been opened and thereafter informs the sender. Several other embodiments are also disclosed.
