  • Patent number: 8686607
    Abstract: The rotor of an electrical motor should be designed simply and able to be efficiently cooled. To this end, the invention relates to an electrical motor having a rotor that has at least one radial cooling slot (16) and axially running cooling channels. The first cooling channels (18) run having their central axis at a different radial height opposite the axis of the rotor (11) than the second cooling channels (19). A spacer (29) is arranged in the at least one radial cooling slot (16) by means of which a first cooling stream (28) can be conducted from one of the first cooling channels (18) into one of the second cooling channels (19). A second partial package (T2) in the flow direction can also be supplied with cool air in this way if it flows through the first partial package (T1) in a cool region, such as near the shaft.

  • Publication number: 20130292950
    Abstract: A wind turbine includes a machine frame (20) and, on opposite sides of the machine frame (20), a rotor and a generator (10). The rotor and the generator (10) are coupled to one another, without a gearbox, via a rotor shaft (60) and a generator shaft (70) an interposed coupling arrangement (50). The generator (10) has an external rotor configuration.

  • Patent number: 6483588
    Abstract: An arrangement for the detection of biomolecular reactions and interactions using the RS screening method and comprises a specimen plate or microtiter plate (PP or MTP), a white light source with subsequently arranged illumination beam path, a splitter plate on which the PP or the MTP is set for generating a detection beam path, and optical means for imaging the measurement beam path and reference beam path on a spatially resolving detector array of a CCD camera which is connected with an evaluating unit or with a computer for determining measurement values.

  • Patent number: 6018388
    Abstract: A microtiter plate is formed of a bottom plate which is transparent for light and a cavity plate which is open at two surfaces facing one another and which has a matrix-shaped arrangement of cavities or wells. The bottom plate and cavity plate are fixedly connected with one another in a liquid-tight manner. The bottom plate has a thickness of from 0.01 mm to approximately 5 mm and has planar surfaces without structures. It has, at its first surface facing the wells, a layer system formed of at least two layers with different indexes of refraction. The bottom plate is provided at its second surface remote of the wells with a coating which sharply reduces the reflectivity of this surface. The bottom plate is recessed into the lower part of the cavity plate in such a way that it does not project over a support surface located in the cavity plate.
