  • Stator assembly structure for axial flux electric machine
    Patent number: 9006953
    Abstract: A stator assembly structure for an axial flux electric machine is designed. The back iron for each silicon steel disk stator is formed into a specific structure with tooth-like protrusions for allowing the same to be integrated with the disk-type stator seat, while the disk-type stator seat is made of a material suitable for casting or mold forming. A coil is mounted on the disk stator, and a stator assembly is achieved by integrating the stator, the coil and the stator seat. The stator and the disk-type stator seat of the stator assembly are manufactured by using a one-piece cast or one-piece mold forming method so as to enable the contact surfaces of the stator and the stator seat to engage with each other even more tightly, and consequently enable the heat generated from the coil to be transmitted rapidly from the disk stator to the disk-type stator seat.

  • CLOUD-BASED VIDEO MONITORING
    Publication number: 20150098686
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a cloud-based video monitoring system comprising a camera and a network video recorder (NVR). During operation, the camera stores in a buffer last predetermined temporal segment of a video. The camera also stores a first video file in a local storage corresponding to an event detected by the camera. This first video file is non-overlapping with a second video file corresponding to the event and this second video file is stored in the NVR. The camera generates a third video file by pre-pending last predetermined temporal segment of a video prior to the event to the first video file and sends the third video file to the NVR.
