  • Publication number: 20160341219
    Abstract: A single-phase motor, an airflow generating apparatus, and an electric apparatus are provided. The motor includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a stator core and stator windings. The stator core includes a ring-shaped yoke and multiple pole portions. A magnetic bridge or slot opening is formed between each two adjacent pole portions. An end surface of each pole portion includes an arc surface. A positioning groove is formed in each arc surface. The arc surfaces of the pole portions cooperatively form a receiving cavity. The rotor includes a rotary shaft and a permanent magnet fixed to the rotary shaft. The permanent magnet is received in the receiving cavity. The arc surfaces are located on a cylindrical surface centered around a rotation axis of the rotary shaft. The cogging torque of the motor can be reduced, thus reducing the startup current and hence the noise of the motor.

  • Publication number: 20160336054
    Abstract: A subsystem configured to select the power supply to a static random access memory cell compares the level of a dedicated memory supply voltage to the primary system supply voltage. The subsystem then switches the primary system supply to the SRAM cell when the system voltage is higher than the memory supply voltage with some margin. When the system voltage is lower than the memory supply voltage, with margin, the subsystem switches the memory supply to the SRAM cell. When the system voltage is comparable to the memory supply, the subsystem switches the system voltage to the SRAM cell if performance is a prioritized consideration, but switches the memory supply to the SRAM cell if power reduction is a prioritized consideration. In this manner, the system achieves optimum performance without incurring steady state power losses and avoids timing issues in accessing memory.
