  • Rotor of an electric machine
    Patent number: 11955846
    Abstract: A rotor (1) of an electrical machine is already known, comprising a rotor body (3) which can be rotated about a rotor axis (2) and comprising several cooling ducts (5) which have a cooling duct opening (8.1, 8.2) at each of its ends, wherein one cooling duct opening (8.1) of one of the cooling ducts (5) is arranged radially further outside than the other cooling duct opening (8.2) of the same cooling duct (5). The driving force for generating an airflow through the cooling ducts (5) is generated by a radial offset between a channel of a hollow shaft of the rotor and one of the cooling duct openings of the rotor. In the rotor (1) according to the invention, the driving force for generating the airflow is generated solely in the cooling duct (5) in question of the rotor (1). According to the invention: the first cover element (10) covers the radially innermost partial cross-section of the cooling duct opening (8.

  • Methods and apparatus for shape transformation of multi-linkage structure
    Patent number: 11208800
    Abstract: A modular structure may comprise multiple mechanical linkages. The structure may undergo two-dimensional or three-dimensional shape transformations, such as bending, twisting, shearing, uniform scaling, and anisotropic scaling. These shape transformations may be actuated by applying force to one or more specific locations in the structure. Each of the linkages in the modular structure may comprise a four-bar linkage. The exact shape transformation that the structure undergoes may be determined by the type and location of the linkages in the structure.
