Publication number: 20240186932Abstract: A stator defines multiple stator poles with associated stator windings. A rotor defines multiple fixed rotor poles with associated teeth with a ferromagnetic material. The fixed rotor poles have associated rotor windings configured to be energized substantially by the stator. Each of the rotor windings is associated with the tooth. Each of the rotor windings includes an alternating current (AC) coil (or auxiliary coil) configured to carry an AC current induced by an AC current flowing in the stator. A direct current (DC) coil (or primary coil) defines a rotor field energizable by magnetic fields produced by the stator windings to produce relative forces between the rotor and the stator. The DC coil is at least partially powered or controlled by the AC coil.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2022Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: Walter Wesley Pennington, III, Ethan Bagget Swint, Gregory Gordon Stevenson, Anthony Da Costa, Michael Parker Owen, Matthew J.

Publication number: 20240171046Abstract: An electric motor has a stator defining multiple stator poles with associated electrical windings, and a rotor having multiple rotor poles. The rotor has flux barriers between adjacent rotor poles, the flux barriers each having a material with an electrical conductivity higher than the rotor pole material. The flux barriers are electrically isolated from one another external to the ferromagnetic material. Eddy currents are induced in the flux barrier to cause destructive interference of an impending magnetic field, such that the flux barrier effectively acts to inhibit magnetic flux during motor operation, which in some cases will result in a repulsive force that will act to increase an induced motive force on the rotor poles.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Walter Wesley Pennington, III, Matthew J. Rubin, Gregory Gordon Stevenson, Adam Daniel Ambrecht, Euzeli Cipriano dos Santos, Jr.

Publication number: 20220000862Abstract: Synergistic drug combinations with the small molecule PAC-1 against uveal or cutaneous melanoma. There are no current targeted drug treatments for the mutations associated with uveal melanoma. Despite primary radiation or surgical therapy, up to 50% of patients eventually develop metastatic disease, for which there is no standard therapy nor treatment shown to improve overall survival. Drug combinations with PAC-1 allow the use of lower dosages of this compound that result in cancer cell death in uveal melanoma. Drug combinations of PAC-1 with the kinase inhibitor entrectinib have shown a synergistic effect against uveal melanoma cell lines. Specifically, PAC-1 and entrectinib are synergistic against wild-type and mutant uveal melanoma cell lines (e.g., GNAQ and GNA11).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2019Publication date: January 6, 2022Applicant: The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisInventors: Paul J.
