Abstract: A cooling system for an electric machine is disclosed. The cooling system includes at least one bearing bracket and at least one coolant distributor plate. The bearing bracket and the coolant distributor plate are designed to jointly form a cooling channel. The cooling channel includes multiple horizontal cooling channel sections which run parallel to an axis of rotation of the electric machine, multiple vertical cooling channel sections which run perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the electric machine, and multiple radial cooling channel sections which run around the axis of rotation of the electric machine. The three different cooling channel sections adjoin one another such that the cooling channel has a three-dimensional meandering profile at least in regions.

Abstract: An air-cooled electric motor having a parallel circuit of two fan wheels is discloses. The electric motor includes a belt tensioner attached on a fixed bearing side of the electric motor, an inverter housing arranged on a floating bearing side of the electric motor, and a fan system having a first fan wheel on the floating bearing side and a second fan wheel on the fixed bearing side. The first fan wheel suctions a cooling air volume flow from the environment radially inward and blows a first part of the suctioned air volume flow radially outward via a stator winding head on the floating bearing side, from the electric motor back into the environment. The second fan wheel suctions a second part of the air volume flow and blows it radially outward via a stator winding head on the fixed bearing side, from the electric motor back into the environment.

Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein provide systems and methods of automatically sterilizing a portable electronic device with ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In one implementation, the method includes distributing UV light substantially uniformly across an intended surface of a device in an enclosure, and sterilizing the intended surface using a calculated dosage of the UV light. In another implementation, an electronic device sterilization system includes an enclosure configured to selectively receive a device for sterilization using a calculated dosage of light, wherein the enclosure includes one or more LEDs, a first reflector configured to receive and reflect the light from the LEDs, and a second reflector configured to receive the light reflected from the first reflector and distribute the light uniformly onto an intended planar surface of the device.

Abstract: A method includes providing a semiconductor structure including a recess. The recess includes at least one of a contact via and a trench. A layer of a first metal is deposited over the semiconductor structure. An electroless deposition process is performed. The electroless deposition process removes a first portion of the layer of first metal from the semiconductor structure and deposits a first layer of a second metal over the semiconductor structure. An electroplating process is performed. The electroplating process deposits a second layer of the second metal over the first layer of second metal. A second portion of the layer of first metal remains in the semiconductor structure.

Abstract: An apparatus for creating a holodot comprising of a low resolution 2 dimensional spatial light modulator (SLM) and two crossed striped high resolution spatial light modulators. The first SLM creates a 2D image and the second two focus the light into an observer's pupil.
