  • Patent number: 7812492
    Abstract: An electronic control unit (ECU) for a motor is mounted to a drum housing or the like in a plane parallel to the plane defined by the surface of the drum housing on which the motor is mounted. The housing for the motor includes an aperture window. Power contacts from the ECU mate with contacts from the motor through the window. Hall-effect sensors attached to the ECU can extend through the aperture to be proximate a ring magnet attached to the armature shaft of the motor. Alternatively, flux guides attached to the drum housing to transmit magnetic flux information from the motor to the Hall-effect sensors. Alternatively, optical sensors attached to the ECU can detect rotations of a reflector ring attached to the armature shaft through the window.

  • Patent number: 7662364
    Abstract: This invention reports a drug for hyperphospheremia and its preparative method. The preparation includes active constituents, lanthanum polystyrene sulfonate, and excipients. The preparative method in the invention can be summarized as follows: Polystyrene sulfonic acid is obtained by treating polystyrene sulfosalt with hydrochloric acid, soaked or eluted with water soluble lanthanum-contained solution, and washed with water till its PH is neutral. Then, the lanthanum polystyrene sulfonate solution is washed till the superfluous La? unexchanged is washed out. Lanthanum polystyrene sulfonate is taken out and crushed to powder after being dried.
