Abstract: A jig (10) is used to form a coil (50) for an electrical machine. A plurality of conductive wires (56), each covered in a heat-curable electrically insulated material, are wound around a bobbin (12). Each succeeding winding in contra-wound relative to the previous winding, with the first turn (16) of each succeeding winding overlaying the last turn (5) of the previous winding. Undeformable electrically insulated inserts (54) are inserted into the windings before heating and compressing the coil (50) in the jig (10).

Abstract: A display system includes a light source and a spatial light modulator configured to receive the light from the light source. The spatial light modulator modulates and selectively transmits selected spatial colors in sets of partial images to a scanning device. The scanning device receives the sets of partial images and scans the sets of partial images to create a full-frame color image.

Abstract: A method and system for displaying an image in three dimensions during a frame period. The method includes generating a left image sub-frame and a right image sub-frame. The left image sub-frame defines a visual perspective of a left eye and the right image sub-frame defines a visual perspective of a right eye for the image. The method further includes displaying the left image sub-frame utilizing a first plurality of colors and displaying the right image sub-frame utilizing a second plurality of colors. The first plurality of colors is distinct from the second plurality of colors.

Abstract: An electrical machine, such as a transverse flux motor, incorporates a stator core assembly 1. The stator core assembly 1 comprises a stator frame 4 upon which stator cores 2,3 are located with spacer elements 7 therebetween. A number of stator pole members 10,11 are located such that channels 13 in these members 10,11 accommodate limbs 5,6 of the cores 2,3. The stator pole members 10,11 straddle more than two limbs 5,6 in order to provide greater structural stability for the assembly 1 despite magnetic flux cycling and other distortion effects. By such greater structural stability more accurate control of a gap between the stator core assembly 1 and a rotor in the machine can be maintained.

Abstract: An improved apparatus for cutting scrap tires is disclosed wherein compressed scrap tires are cut. A scrap tire is compressed, then fed into a plurality of rotary disc cutters axially spaced along a shaft and rotated against a stationary anvil. In the preferred embodiment, cutting tools are vertically mounted on the rotary disc cutters, whose outer circumference is recessed in a concave arc starting at the top of the cutting tool and ending at that portion of the cutting tool closest to the center. The cutting tools are off-set along successive rotary disc cutters rather than placed in a line parallel to the shaft. Anvil tools having at least one cutting edge are mounted on the stationary anvil for ease in maintaining cutting edges opposite the rotating cutting tools. Cleaner bars facilitate the removal of cut scrap tires from the rotary disc cutters and their subsequent collection.
