  • Publication number: 20230170748
    Abstract: A stator for an electrical machine includes: an annular housing extending around a central axis (X-X); a first circumferential flow channel extending around the housing; a second circumferential flow channel axially spaced from the first circumferential flow channel and extending around the housing; and a plurality of windings. The plurality of windings are circumferentially spaced about the housing to form a passage between each two adjacent windings. Each passage is in fluid communication with both the first circumferential flow channel and the second circumferential flow channel. The first circumferential flow channel is closed to flow at a first circumferential location and the second circumferential flow channel is closed to flow at a second circumferential location, removed from the first circumferential location so as to form a first set of passages (S1) connected in parallel and a second, separate set of passages (S2) connected in parallel.

  • Patent number: 11413125
    Abstract: A dental cleaning appliance includes a handle and a fluid delivery system for delivering a burst of working fluid to the teeth of a user. Part of the fluid delivery system is moveable relative to the handle as the appliance is moved along the teeth of the user. A sensor provides an output which varies with movement of that part of the fluid delivery system relative to the handle. A control circuit actuates the delivery of working fluid to the teeth of the user depending on the output from the sensor.

  • Patent number: 10790672
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a control system for a hybrid solar power supply system, in particular for direct current (DC) power supply. The hybrid solar power supply control system includes a power arbiter and a power controller. The power arbiter unit is connectable to a photovoltaic power supply and one or more other power supplies and comprises circuitry to connect the input photovoltaic power supply and other power supplies and combine power from one or more power supplies for direct current (DC) output, and transition between power supplies based on the available input power from each power supply. The power controller is configured to vary the apparent load applied at the DC output to control the power drawn from the one or more power supplies.

  • Patent number: 10547793
    Abstract: A camera unit and method of control are described. The camera unit has a camera flash sub-unit configurable to emit flash light having an adjustable characteristic. A camera sensor sub-unit generates raw color data when exposed to light for processing into a digital image. The camera unit also includes a camera controller for coordinating operation of the camera flash sub-unit and the camera sensor sub-unit. The camera controller monitors one or more ambient light characteristics in a vicinity of the camera unit. Prior to receiving a command instructing the camera unit to generate the digital image, the camera controller repeatedly configures the camera flash sub-unit based on the monitored ambient light characteristics to adjust the characteristics of the emitted flash light. Once the camera controller receives the command, the camera sensor sub-unit is instructed to expose an image sensor using the pre-adjusted camera flash light to increase illumination.

  • Patent number: 10223363
    Abstract: The controlling of access to a file system entity based on location of the requestor and operation expiry data of the file system entity. Operation expiry data and location data are associated with a file system entity (e.g., a file, a directory, a partition, or a disk) such that the file system entity and the operation expiry data and the location data are moved or copied atomically together. Upon receiving a request to perform an operation on the file system entity, the system identifies a location status of the requestor. The system then identifies expiry data that corresponds to the location status, and that is associated with the requested operation. The system then uses the identified expiry data to determine whether or not the requested file operation is to be permitted.
