Patent number: 11745368Abstract: A personal care device has a main functional unit and an ancillary functional unit which is displaced between a non-operational position and an operational position using a biasing arrangement. A magnet arrangement is used to exert a magnetic holding on the ancillary functional unit in the operational position. This provides a stable support of the ancillary functional unit in the operational position without requiring a strong biasing arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Daniele Solerio, Michel Van Es, Gerard Johannes Pieter Nijsse, Aditya Mehendale

Publication number: 20210252213Abstract: An electric motor (20) usable in proximity to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device (4) includes a stator (30) comprising electrical windings (32), and a rotor (40, 50, 60) magnetically coupled with the stator. The electric motor does not include ferromagnetic material, and the electric motor does not include any permanent magnet. The rotor may include an outer rotor cylinder (50, 60) surrounding the stator, and may further include an inner rotor cylinder (40) disposed inside the stator and connected to rotate with the outer rotor cylinder. The rotor may comprise a cylindrical sheet rotor (40, 50). Alternatively, the rotor (60) may comprise one or more conductive loops (62A, 62B, 62C) each shaped such that the induced voltage in one loop portion (HL1) cancels the effect of the induced voltage in another loop portion (HL2), and a coupled split stator (301, 302). In another disclosed aspect, an infusion pump (10) includes the electric motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2019Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventors: Gerard Johannes Pieter NIJSSE, Funda SAHIN NOMALER, Wouter KLOP, Aditya MEHENDALE, Petrus Carolus Maria FRISSEN, Olav Johannes SEIJGER

Patent number: 10727719Abstract: A power generator assembly including a rotating part and a non-rotating part is provided. It is proposed that the rotating part includes first and second, circumferentially adjacent generator units. Each generator unit includes at least one coil, at least one permanent magnet and two pole shoes having pole surfaces facing radially outward. The non-rotating part includes an arc-shaped saddle adaptor of ferromagnetic material arranged with a radial distance to the pole surfaces. The saddle adaptor is configured to close a magnetic circuit passing via the pole shoes through the coil in a rotational position where the saddle adaptor overlaps with the pole shoes of a generator unit. According to the invention, a pole shoe of the first generator unit and an adjacent pole shoe of the second generator unit have the same magnetic polarity.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2016Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: AKTIEBOLAGET SKFInventors: Gerard McGoogan, Georgo Angelis, Toon Kuijpers, Aditya Mehendale, Gerard Johannes Pieter Nijsse, Funda Sahin Nomaler, Andreas Clemens van der Ham

Patent number: 10654660Abstract: A hygienic magnetic tray and conveyor. The low-profile tray includes a forcer sandwiched between an article-supporting top and an opposite bottom. The top is made of hygienic material, and the bottom can be made of a low-friction material. The tray is propelled along a guide surface on an enclosure housing stator coils supported in a conveyor frame. The stator forms a linear motor with the forcer in the tray.

Patent number: 7628875Abstract: A method of bonding a MEMS device to a substrate to form a MEMS device assembly. A thickness profile of the MEMS device and/or the flatness of the mating surface of the substrate is determined. An adhesive is deposited onto a mating surface of the MEMS device and/or the mating surface of the substrate. The mating surfaces of the MEMS device and substrate are brought together, such that the adhesive can bond the MEMS device to the substrate. The volume of adhesive deposited at particular locations on the mating surface is varied to compensate for local variations in the thickness profile of the MEMS device and/or the flatness of the mating surface of the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2006Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Jan Bex, Raymond Jacobus Knaapen, Gerard Johannes Pieter Nijsse, Gerard Kums

Patent number: 6402118Abstract: There is described a support system enabling supporting an object such as a platform (1) free from vibration, in that bearing elements (50) have a stiffness (k) which at a working point (z0) equals zero. A bearing element (50) comprises two magnectic couplings (51, 52) provided by permanent magnets (61, 63). One coupling (51) has a positive stiffness (k51), and the other coupling has a negative stiffness (k52); in the working point, the absolute values of those stiffnesses are equally great. Alternatively, electrostatic couplings are used.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2000Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: Technische Universiteit DelftInventors: Gerard Johannes Pieter Nijsse, Josephus Wilhelmus Spronck
