  • Permanent magnet alternator and voltage regulator for regulating the output voltage of a permanent magnet alternator
    Publication number: 20040155546
    Abstract: A permanent magnet alternator including a stationary stator including a plurality of spaced stator poles projecting inwardly from the stator, a winding circuit wound through the spaces between the stator poles, a rotor assembly mounted for rotation within the stator, including a plurality of permanent magnets fixedly mounted on an outer circumferential surface of the rotor in alternating polarity, and a retaining shield for reducing the effects of centrifugal motion of the rotor during operation of the alternator.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 9, 2004
    Publication date: August 12, 2004
    Inventors: Julius J. Stevens, William C. Edmundson, Ronald E. Murray, Craig G. Young

  • Recovery of a proteinaceous oat fraction from a dispersion thereof in hydrocarbon solvent
    Patent number: 4462939
    Abstract: A process for the recovery of a proteinaceous oat fraction from a dispersion thereof in an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent is disclosed. The dispersion is admixed with at least 2.5%, by weight, of a solution of ethyl alcohol and water, whereby the dispersion agglomerates. The amount of water in the resultant admixture of agglomerate and solvent is then reduced to less than 0.3%, by weight. The proteinaceous oat fraction that is recovered has a low bulk density, e.g., less than 0.14 g/ml, is white, soft and fluffy. The fraction may be used in a variety of food products.
