  • Publication number: 20180212489
    Abstract: An axial field rotary energy device can include a housing having an axis with an axial direction. A stator assembly can include a plurality of stator panels that are discrete panels from each other. The stators panels can be mechanically and stationarily coupled to the housing. Each stator panel can include a printed circuit board (PCB) having coils that are electrically conductive, each stator panel consists of a single electrical phase. In addition, rotors can be rotatably mounted within the housing on opposite axial ends of the stator assembly. The rotors can be mechanically coupled together with a rotor spacer. Each rotor can include magnets. In addition, in one version, no rotor is disposed between axially adjacent ones of the stator panels.

  • Publication number: 20180198341
    Abstract: An axial field rotary energy device can include a rotor having an axis of rotation and magnets. Each magnet can extend in a radial direction relative to the axis. Each magnet can include a magnet radial edge. The device also includes a stator that is coaxial with the rotor. The stator has printed circuit board (PCB) layers each having coils. Each coil has a coil radial edge. When the radial edge portions of the magnets and the coils rotationally align relative to the axis, the magnet radial edges and the coil radial edges are not parallel and are angularly skewed relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 9253173
    Abstract: A transactional server is configured to receive a transactional procedure call from a client to initiate one or more transaction processes. Said transactional server includes a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication server which is configured to forward the transactional procedure call from the transactional server to a distributed authentication server for authentication. When the transactional procedure call to initiate a transaction is received at the transactional server, the LDAP authentication server identifies a user associated with the transactional procedure call, determines that the distributed authentication server should authenticate the user, and initiates an LDAP session between the transactional server and the distributed authentication server.
