Abstract: The devices and methods described herein are utilized to continuously track unpowered logistics platforms such as semi-trailers and intermodal shipping containers. In some examples, a tracking device harvests the kinetic energy of oscillatory movements of the shipping container to power the tracking device. In some instances, the shipping container is moving on a roadway, railway, or waterway. In other examples, a tracking device harvests the kinetic energy of airflow moving around the shipping container. In some instances, the airflow is caused by movement of the shipping container. In other instances, the airflow may be caused by ambient weather such that air is flowing around a stationary shipping container.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric propulsion system (100) for a vehicle (1), said system comprising a first electrical machine (12) and a second electrical machine (14) for providing propulsion to said vehicle, characterized in that said system further comprises an electrically isolated coupling assembly (20) configured to provide electrical isolation between said first and said second electrical machines; a first bidirectional DC/AC converter (68) disposed in a first electrical connection (82) extending from the first electrical machine; a second bidirectional DC/AC converter (69) disposed in a second electrical connection (84) extending from the second electrical machine; a switch assembly (30) connected via at least one of the bidirectional DC/AC converters to at least one of the first and second electrical machines and further connected to an onboard energy storage system (40); and wherein said switch assembly is configured to connect at least one of the first electrical machine and the second electric

Abstract: A process for production of a packed soft magnetic component, comprises the steps of:—preparing a rotational mold, consisting of at least one mold cavity connected to a driven rotational axle, arranging a coil in the mold, filling the at least one mold cavity with a binder and a soft magnetic, metallic material in the form of a powder,—driving the axle for rotation of said at least one mold, whereby the soft magnetic, metallic material is packed by centrifugal forces to one side of said at least one mold cavity, mixed with the binder, thus forming a component comprising a soft magnetic composite with a coil embedded therein.

Abstract: A method for producing a core and a method for producing an electrical machine. Said core has a body of soft magnetic material having a plurality of teeth and at least one magnetic flux cross section area enlarging element being made from a composite of a soft magnetic powder and a binder, said magnetic flux area enlarging element being arranged onto a tooth of said body.

Abstract: A device for converting wind energy into a reciprocating motion. The device has a sail that extends in a main wind direction and pivotally oscillates when subjected to wind. The sail is connected to a first support that is configured to move in a first direction when the sail during its oscillation moves towards any of two outermost positions from a neutral position, and move in a second direction opposite the first direction when the sail during its oscillation moves towards its neutral position from any of its outermost positions, thereby creating a reciprocating motion of the first support when the sail is subjected to the wind. A further device, a method and a system are also described.
