Abstract: This invention presents a highly efficient electric motor which can be embodied in several configurations, including a standard motor, a hub motor, a linear motor, or other motor configuration. As a regenerative device, the motor may also act as a part-time or full-time electrical generator. There is provided a motor composed of a stator and a rotor. The stator has an array of coils arranged therein. The rotor has an array of magnets arranged therein. Each of the coils includes a first winding of wire wrapped around a core, and the wire has a non-circular cross-section. The wire can be a flattened wire.

Abstract: A portable shelter including a shelter body and a lighting system secured to the shelter body. The lighting system includes a lighting system body, at least one light emitter carried by the lighting system body, a power source supplying power to at least one light emitter, and a control circuit controlling at least one light emitter. A remote controller is in wireless communication with the control circuit to control at least one light emitter. Another portable shelter includes a shelter body, at least one lighting cartridge having a cartridge body and at least one light emitter carried by the cartridge body, a power source supplying power to at least one light emitter, and at least one lighting base secured to the shelter body. The lighting base is configured to receive and removably secure the lighting cartridge.

Abstract: A communication connector assembly includes a first connector and a second connector configured to receive the first connector. The first connector includes a first connector body and at least one communication contact supported by the first connector body. The second connector includes a second connector body defining a contact surface configured to receive the first connector and at least one communication contact supported by the second connector body. The communication contact is configured to receive the corresponding communication contact of the first connector. At least one magnet is supported by at least one of the first and second connector bodies and is configured to magnetically retain the first and second connector bodies together.
