Abstract: A rotor of a multipolar synchronous electric machine, with salient poles, includes a plurality of salient poles and a source of magnetomotive force, distributed on each of the salient poles, configured to generate a magnetic flux configured to encompass the armature of a stator, a part of the magnetic flux generated by the source of magnetomotive force, designated leakage flux, being dispersed between the salient poles of the rotor; the rotor including a magnetic compensation source configured to compensate the leakages of magnetic flux dispersed between the salient poles, the compensation source being dimensioned so as to compensate at least a part of the leakage flux.

Abstract: The disclosed device, placed within an ATM packet switch, is of the type comprising a multiplexer associated with a specified number of input and output buffers and a device to control the internal flows of ATM cells informing the input buffers of the state of congestion of the output buffers. This device further comprises means to convert the flow of sporadic point-to-multipoint cells, arriving at the input of the input buffers, into a regular flow of point-to-multipoint cells towards the multiplexer irrespective of the outgoing direction taken by the cells and independently for each input.
