Abstract: A double-rotor single stator axial flux machine, which is supplied having no bearings between the rotors and stator internal of the machine, is mounted to an external structure such as an interface of an engine of a vehicle or a portion of the transmission of a vehicle. The machine is mounted to the structure via the shaft of the machine (on which are seated bearings located in the structure) and the stator housing. The bearings of the structure, which are external to the machine, permit the rotors to rotate relative to the stator when the machine is installed on the structure.

Abstract: There is provided an axial flux motor comprising one or more rotating disks (10) and a stator (20) comprising a cavity (30) formed between walls (40a, 40b) and containing therein more than one electro-magnetic coil assembly (50). Each electro-magnetic coil assembly (50) comprises more than one pole piece (60), each having an axially extending shank portion (70a) and first and second radially extending end shoes (72a, 72b) and one or more associated coils (55), each of the one or more associated coils (55) being wound around a shank portion (70a), wherein said outer surface (75) of said end shoes are preferably joined to one or other of said walls (40a, 40b).

Abstract: The invention provides a compression device for the limb of a mobile patient. The device includes an inflatable sleeve adapted to surround the limb; a conduit attached to the sleeve for delivering fluid to the sleeve; and a portable, wearable controller attached to the conduit that generates and controls the flow of fluid in the device.
