Abstract: A heating hood according to the disclosure comprises a spherically formed heat transfer region, in particular for receiving at least partially spherical objects; a frame device, wherein position of the heat transfer region is at least partially predefined by the frame device; and a heating device arranged between the heat transfer region and the frame device. A slit for guiding air is formed at least sectionally between the frame device and the heating device, wherein air can be introduced into the slit on a first side of the frame device, and wherein the introduced air can be diverted from the slit on another side, which is spaced apart in a longitudinal direction of the frame device.

Abstract: A power generator system, including an inductive generator for producing a generator electrical signal. The inductive generator contains electrically conductive stator field coil windings and an electrically conductive ferromagnetic disk-shaped rotor. The inductive generator is configured for under-the-hood installation and includes an input crankshaft for being externally driven by a motor vehicle engine. The generator is electrically coupled to an electronic control unit which responds to amplitude and frequency variation of the electrical signal, due to fluctuations in vehicle engine speed, and produces an output power signal having substantially constant voltage, substantially constant frequency, and at least one phase.

Abstract: A novel duel directional electromagnetic actuator includes a case, a core, an electrical current conductive coil and a field coil. The case includes a first case end, a second case end, and an interior wall extending between the first and second case ends. A chamber is defined by the interior wall. An electrical current conductive coil is disposed in the chamber coextensively adjacent the interior wall. The conductive coil has a first coil end disposed proximate the first case end, a second coil end disposed proximate the second case end, and a midpoint. The core has a first core end, a second core end, and an exterior wall extending between the first and second core ends. The exterior wall has a first region adjacent the first core end and a second region spaced from the first region and adjacent the second core end.
