Abstract: An electric machine comprises a rotor with a rotor body, wherein the rotor body has a plurality of poles each carrying at least one rotor winding formed from a plurality of conductor loops, wherein the poles extend in a radial direction of the rotor and the conductor loops running through grooves respectively formed between two adjacent poles, wherein a support element extending in the radial direction is respectively arranged in the grooves between the rotor windings of the adjacent poles, which support element, at a radially outer end of the groove, bears up against a thrust-bearing element arranged in a radially positionally-fixed manner between the adjacent poles, wherein the support element presses the conductor loops against the rotor body during a rotation and/or a temperature increase of the rotor.

Abstract: A capless filler pipe closure is provided for a tank filler pipe. The capless closure permits a fuel pump nozzle to be inserted into the tank filler pipe without first removing a fuel cap from the outer end of the tank filler pipe.

Abstract: Objects of interest which project beyond the fovea are poorly resolved and lack color information, requiring movement of the eyes in order to obtain a comprehensive image and perception of the surrounding world. Eye movements emanate from different areas of the brain which can be affected by disease and or injury. As such, different neurological disorders will affect a myriad of eye movements in a variety of different ways. An automated system and method, capable of detecting, analyzing and summarizing a person's eye movements is used to detect (diagnose) (either before or after symptoms of said neurological disease are apparent), confirm a prior diagnosis, and/or to monitor the treatment effectiveness for a variety of neurological diseases, neurological movement disorders and potential brain injuries.

Abstract: An objective, automated approach for the detection and identification of the suck, swallow and breathe parameters, which approach is vital for successful feeding in preterm infants during bottle feeding. An instrumentation system measures and processes of suck, swallow, and breathe waveforms. The analog signals are digitized by analog-to-digital (A/D) converters. A robust method based on correlation techniques and matched filters is used to detect and identify individual occurrences of suck, swallow and breathe. The results of the correlation method results in an occurrence matrix which contains the start time of the detected event (suck, swallow and/or breathe), the correlation coefficient, or probability of certainty and duration of the suspected event. The occurrence matrix is then used as a measure of coordination of suck, swallow and breathe to determine feeding readiness and competence.

Abstract: Systems and methods for delivery of a drug to the respiratory system of a patient in a stream of purified air are provided. In particular, the drugs are delivered to the respiratory system of the patient at a positive air pressure relatvie to atmopheric pressure. With the systems and methods of the present disclosure, medication available in a variety of forms is introduced in a controlled fashion into the air stream in aerosol, nebulized, or vaporized form.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for mapping multiple address spaces into a single bus, such as a single peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus. The single bus is coupled to a first processor complex and a second processor complex. An original address of a memory access is shifted to a unique address space for each originator/target of an operation. The shifted address is used on the single bus. Then the shifted address is shifted back to the original address for completing the operation on a destination bus. The original address of a memory access is shifted to a unique address space for each originator/target of an operation using a respective predefined value (+X1, +X2, or +X3) for shifting the original address above a predefined boundary for each originator/target of the operation.

Abstract: A transaction tracing circuit for use with a bus bridge that is couplable to at least a first and second bus. The transaction tracing circuit includes at least one set of trace control registers that is associated with a transaction tracing function for tracing a specific transaction occurring on the bus bridge. A number of bus transaction tracing circuits, one for each bus to which the bridge is connected, are coupled to the trace control registers and are utilized to store is transactions that are captured as they occur on the individual buses. An internal transaction tracing circuit is coupled to the trace control registers and is utilized for storing captured internal transaction information corresponding to the specific internal transaction.
