  • Patent number: 7915988
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a field coil assembly of an electromagnetic clutch for a compressor. The present invention comprises a core 210, and a coil 240 installed to the core 210 and formed by winding a unit wire 250. At this time, the unit wire 250 wound on the coil 240 is made of aluminum, and an area ratio R of an inner sectional area M of the core 210 to a cross-sectional area of the unit wire 250 is 400 to 640. According to the present invention as above, since the unit wire 250 used for the coil 240 is made of aluminum with a small specific weight and low price rather than copper, the weight of the field coil assembly 200 is decreased to improve fuel efficiency of a vehicle and decrease a production cost of the field coil assembly 200.

  • Patent number: 7825927
    Abstract: Systems and methods for computing three-dimensional (3D) Euclidean Voronoi diagrams are disclosed. For some embodiments, a set of 3D objects is accessed, in which each 3D object is mathematically defined. Thereafter, a Voronoi region associated with each of the 3D objects is computed, thereby resulting in a complete Euclidean Voronoi diagram of the set of 3D objects. In some embodiments, the 3D objects are spheres, each of which is defined by a center and a radius. For other embodiments, the 3D objects are convex objects, each of which is mathematically-definable (e.g., cylinders, sphero-cylinders, etc.). Unlike prior approaches that suggested using a numerical approach to computing the Voronoi diagram, the present disclosure employs mathematical approaches for computing the Euclidean Voronoi diagram, thereby improving efficiency in the computation of the Euclidean Voronoi diagram.
