Abstract: A system for evaluating CAD models automatically and transmitting the results of a series of algorithm-based checks. An evaluation model is read in by the system and its parameters are evaluated for self-consistency and conformance to a set of diagnostic rules. Results are returned or displayed interactively upon viewing, transmitting, or inspecting a CAD component model, or placement of a CAD component model in an FDA software tool. The evaluation produces a result, which comprises the pass/fail results of the individual checks, and an indication of quality level. The system may additionally receive from an administrator a plurality of rules, suppressions or quality levels. The set of diagnostic rules comprises the plurality of FDA rules that are not associated with one of the plurality of suppressions.

Abstract: Cogging forces of a cylindrical linear motor are reduced with a linear motor having a rotor with eight poles and a stator with 36 toroidal coils (optionally multiples of eighteen toroidal coils) inserted into slots (N1 to N36) (or a multiple of 36 slots). The toroidal coils extend in the circumferential direction of the stator, are of equal size, and are arranged axially one behind the other. All the terminals of the toroidal coils are located in an axially extending connector channel. The two terminals of each coil are connected according to a specific connection scheme.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method of dispensing a porous material and to a method of making a porous material insert for various plant grow pots, plant bowls, and plant baskets, the porous material insert including a growth enhancing element integrated with and dispersed throughout the insert.

Abstract: A cylindrical linear motor includes a cylindrical rotor, and a cylindrical stator arranged in coaxial relationship to the rotor. The stator has a plurality of annular coils which are arranged in coaxial relationship, and a ferromagnetic stator core which includes a plurality of individual laminations which are aligned radially or arranged in a star shape. This reduces a field displacement caused by eddy currents, as a result of which ultimately a time delay in the force buildup is also reduced.

Abstract: A combination drive for rotary and lifting movements includes a rotary motor and a linear motor as well as an output shaft which is caused to rotate by the rotary motor and caused to move linearly by the linear motor. The output shaft includes an output end. The rotary motor is arranged closer to the output end of the output shaft than the linear motor. The output shaft can be designed shorter as a result. Further measures for increasing the dynamics are mass reductions on the rotor of the linear motor.
