  • Patent number: 10720800
    Abstract: A stator core has first, second, and third pole teeth disposed circumferentially and projecting radially outward, the first pole teeth face rotor magnets and have symmetric tooth tips, the second and third pole teeth are circumferentially disposed adjacent to the first pole teeth and have asymmetric tooth tips, and a distance between the tooth tips of the second and third pole teeth is smaller than a distance between the tooth tips of the first and second pole teeth and the distance between the tooth tips of the first and third pole teeth. This apparently reduces the facing ratio between the stator pole teeth and the rotor magnetic poles and increases the cogging torque while preventing increase in cost and reduction in workability.

  • Publication number: 20200157184
    Abstract: Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) biosensors for assessing the intracellular localization, internalization and trafficking into cellular compartments of proteins such as receptors, and other biomolecules such as second messengers, are disclosed. These biosensors, which are dependent on the concentration/density of the BRET donor and acceptor in cellular compartments rather that specific protein-protein interactions, use a Renilla GFP/Luc BRET pair, which allows the robust and reproducible monitoring of protein trafficking/localization, with a sensitivity compatible with high-throughput screening (HTS). The use of these biosensors for various applications, including assessing/monitoring protein endocytosis, recycling and intracellular trafficking, receptor maturation/rescue by pharmacological chaperones, various endocytosis/exocytosis processes, activation/inhibition, as well as biomolecule concentration/density in different cellular compartments, is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10615956
    Abstract: A clock and data recovery device includes an extraction circuit and a phase detection circuit. The extraction circuit extracts transition information including data information corresponding to a value of data and edge information corresponding to transition of the value of the data, from a multivalued input data signal subjected to pulse amplitude modulation in synchronization with a clock from an oscillator. The phase detection circuit uses transition information selected based on a predetermined condition, when executing a phase error determination of the clock with respect to the input data signal based on the transition information extracted by the extraction circuit.
