Patent number: 7737596Abstract: The present invention provides cancellation of cogging torque of a permanent magnet electrical machine using two sets of magnetic elements, one set is mechanically coupled to the stator with the other set being mechanically coupled to the rotor of the machine. At least one of the two sets has permanent magnets with the magnetic elements of the other set being made of permanent magnets or non-magnetized ferromagnetic materials such as soft iron. When the arrangement of the elements of the two sets is properly designed, magnetic attraction and repulsion forces between the magnetic elements of the two sets produces, as the machine operates, an anti-cogging torque which substantially cancels the cogging torque of the machine.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2007Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Eocycle Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bruno Boucher, Eric Adams, Simon Cote, Daniel Massicotte

Patent number: 7354204Abstract: A system and method for installing and retaining an input/output connector without tools is presented. A user removes a module from a computer system in order to add or remove a transceiver. The module includes a housing and a front bezel, whereby a bezel latch attaches the front bezel to the housing. The user depresses the bezel latch to remove the front bezel from the housing. As a result, a retention beam is exposed on the housing that secures transceivers to a circuit board. The user unlatches the retention beam, inserts a transceiver onto a mounting area, and latches the retention beam. The retention beam applies pressure to the transceiver, which results in a coupling of the transceiver to a circuit board included in the housing. In turn, the user attaches the front bezel to the housing via the bezel latch and reinserts the module into the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2007Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eric Adams, Martin Joseph Crippen, Pat Gallarelli, Matthew Scott Henry
