  • Publication number: 20160013704
    Abstract: A system for cooling an electric motor, the electric motor including a stator disposed about a rotor, wherein cooling system includes a rotor assembly including a shaft with a shaft channel extending through the center of the shaft and radial channels extending radially from the shaft channel; a rotor with profiled rotor ends; and two guides, each coupled to a rotor end, that guides fluid from the shaft exterior to the rotor end. The system may additionally include interior channels that traverse through the rotor interior, wherein the interior channels fluidly couple the radial channels to a guide-rotor end pair. The system may also include stator cooling mechanisms, including cooling channels within the motor casing proximal to stator exterior surface and dispensing mechanisms that dispense working fluid to the stator coils.

  • Publication number: 20100176953
    Abstract: An orientation system for a visually impaired user which includes a base station and a handset; said base station is attached close to an item that the user wishes to orientate themselves to; the base station is configured to emit a beam which is unable to penetrate solid objects and which has a centreline; the handset is configured to detect the beam and generate an output which the user can use to determine the edges of the beam and thus orientate approximately with the centreline.

  • Publication number: 20070159744
    Abstract: An integrated circuit is adapted for dual use in three different ways: 1) it is powered by either of two different low or high voltage sources; 2) it may be connected to the IC package voltage reference pin in two different ways, using either an on-chip internal resistor or an in-package external resistor to limit the voltage/current to the IC; 3) the ESD structures are used not only for their well-known circuit protection function, but also as a conductive path for the high voltage operating source.
