Abstract: In transform coefficient coding, predetermined sets of transforms may be used. Embodiments of the present invention provide an encoder and a decoder for encoding a picture into/from a data stream using block-based prediction and block-based residual coding, the encoder and decoder supporting a set of transforms for the block-based residual coding. The encoder and decoder are configured to determine a transform candidate list of transforms for a current residual block out of the set of transforms based on a height and a width of the current residual block, and to encode/decode a prediction residual within the residual block using one selected transform out of the selectable list of transforms and selectively signal/derive the selected transform in/from the data stream.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric motor comprising an electronics housing in which motor electronics are accommodated, a stator bush for accommodating a stator and which is axially adjacent to the electronics housing, and a cooling impeller which is axially adjacent to the stator bush and which can be driven via a rotor, wherein a fluidically connected axial through-channel is provided in the stator bush and in the electronics housing, through which channel a cooling air flow generated by the cooling impeller can be conveyed, and wherein the cooling impeller has a blade geometry such that, in normal operation of the electric motor, the cooling air flow is drawn in radially from outside at a peripheral radial air inlet of the cooling impeller and pressed through the through-channel in axial direction.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a blade edge of at least one blade of an air-conveying wheel with an axial-side blade edge contour which extends from a blade leading edge to a blade trailing edge along a curve, wherein the blade edge contour has at least one front section which adjoins the blade leading edge in the radial direction, a rear section which adjoins the blade trailing edge in the radial direction, and a central section which lies between the front section and the rear section. The blade edge contour has an S-shaped curve progression in the central section in a lateral cross-sectional view, thus increasing an axial height of the blade in the direction of the blade trailing edge.

Abstract: A diffuser (3) for a fan (2) of axial, radial or diagonal type of construction, has an inlet opening (10) and having an outlet opening (20) for a gaseous medium which flows through a diffuser interior (I), which is enclosed by an outer housing (30), in an axially oriented main flow direction (S) from the inlet opening (10) to the outlet opening (20). The cross section of the diffuser interior (I) increases from the cross section (11) of the inlet opening to the cross section (21) of the outlet opening (20), wherein the outer housing (30) forms an outer diffuser part (AD) which delimits the diffuser interior (I) to the outside. Along the main flow direction (S), the cross section of the outer diffuser part (AD) changes from a circular cross section (31) at the inlet opening (10) to a non-circular cross section (32) at the outlet opening (20).

Abstract: A rotating electric machine (1) having a stator (4) in a housing (2) and a rotor (10) supported by a shaft (6). The housing (2) circumferential wall (12) and first and second axially opposing end walls (14, 16) support bearing flanges with bearings (18) for the shaft (6). Two cooling fan impellers (20, 22) are connected to the shaft (6). An inner cooling fan impeller (20) positioned inside the housing (2) generates an inner cooling air circuit (A) inside the housing (2). An outer cooling fan impeller (22) provided outside the housing (2), generates an outer cooling air flow (B). The first end wall (14) is formed with a thermal conductivity of at least a specified value and has an outer cooling rib geometry (28) on its outer side facing the outer cooling fan impeller (22), and an inner cooling rib geometry (30) on its opposing inner side.

Abstract: A description is given of a polymer dispersion comprising i) polymer particles dispersed in an aqueous medium and composed of units of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, ii) a water-soluble polymeric polyelectrolyte which along a polymeric backbone carries a large number of ionic groups of uniform charge character or groups which can be ionized to such groups, and iii) an ionic surfactant which carries an ionic group having a charge character opposite to that of the polymeric polyelectrolyte, or a group which can be ionized to such a group. The polymer dispersion can be coagulated by simple dilution with water.
