Abstract: The subject dynamoelectric machine comprises an armature between two field assemblies. The armature may rotate between the field assemblies or vice versa. The armature has three two-coil windings with the coils of each winding located diametrically opposite each other on the armature and wound in opposite directions. Each field assembly comprises a field ring, winding cores (or permanent magnets) and pole faces which span essentially 180.degree., there being a north face and a south face for each field assembly. The field assemblies are positioned with like faces facing each other. The commutation apparatus energizes each armature winding just as it is positioned completely between the field pole faces and de-energizes it just before it starts to move out from between the faces because of the relative motion between the armature and field assemblies. The machine concept is adaptable to pancake and cylindrical configuration.

Abstract: Fluid flow velocity and turbulence are computed by processing bridge excitation voltage provided in hot wire or hot film anemometry. A system utilizing a log converter circuit provides an output signal which is substantially linear with fluid temperature and a probe temperature setting potentiometer provides a signal voltage representative of the difference between hot probe operating temperature and the fluid temperature.
