Abstract: A rotor (30) for a rotary electric machine, comprising a rotor mass (33) comprising laminations stacked one on top of the other, the rotor mass (33) comprising a plurality of housings (10), at least some of the housings, or even all of the housings, receiving one or more permanent magnets (1) defining poles of the rotor, the housings of a pole being arranged in at least a first row (11) and a second row (12) of housings which are not parallel to one another, the first row (11) of housings comprising at least three housings arranged in a U shape, with at least one central housing and two lateral housings, the central housing of the first row being able to do without a permanent magnet, the second row (12) of housings comprising housings arranged in a V shape, in particular two housings arranged in a V shape.

Abstract: A hydration system including a plurality of hydration compositions for improving vascular health is provided. A hydration system comprises a first hydration composition comprising protein in an amount from 0.25 mg to 1.5 mg per kilogram of the patient's weight, sodium, potassium, and one or more essential amino acids, a second hydration composition comprising protein in an amount from 0.25 mg to 1.5 mg per kilogram of the patient's weight, sodium, potassium, and a hydrogel, a pectin based additive, a starch, or a glycerin and a third hydration composition comprising protein in an amount from 0.25 mg to 1.5 mg per kilogram of the patient's weight and at least one of electrolytes or glucose, vitamins and minerals. The hydration compositions may be formulated for oral or enteral administration.

Abstract: Systems and methods for administering one or more hydration compositions to an individual to improve vascular health are provided. A system comprises a hydration composition delivery element and a sensor operatively coupled to the hydration composition delivery element. The sensor is configured to determine one or more of the intake of fluids, the amount of fluid discharged, the activity level of the patient, or level of hydration of the patient based on the level of fluid in the hydration composition delivery element. The system further includes a monitoring system which, based on a signal received from the sensor, provides an indication of one or more of the need to intake fluid, the identity of a specific hydration composition of a plurality of hydration compositions to be consumed or an amount of a hydration composition to be consumed.

Abstract: A method for improving vascular health in a patient suffering from intermittent claudication or rest pain of the lower extremities includes administering a hydration composition to reduce at least one of: the mean value of temperature in the feet; pain intensity; distance to claudication as determined using a treadmill; time to claudication as determined using a treadmill; or ankle/brachial index. Systems for administering one or more hydration compositions to a patient, the system includes: a sensor to determine one or more of the intake of fluids, the amount of fluid discharged, the activity level of the patient, and/or level of hydration of the patient; and a monitoring system which indicates: the need to intake fluid; the identity of a specific hydration composition of a plurality of hydration compositions to be consumed; or an amount of a hydration composition to be consumed.

Abstract: One or more characteristics of a PTT bearer message exchange between an originating mobile station (102) and a target mobile station (120) is determined. An expiration period of the inactivity timer (108) is programmed based upon the one or more characteristics of the PTT bearer message exchange.
