Abstract: A rotor for an interior permanent magnet machine has a rotor body having an output shaft and a first cavity filled with magnetic material. Second cavities are disposed inboard of the first cavities and are not filled with magnetic material. Non-magnetic rods extend through the second cavities and protrude beyond end faces of the rotor body. The rods are press-fit in blind bores formed in non-magnetic end plates disposed adjacent the end faces of the rotor body. Shrink disks are shrunk around projecting ends of the output shaft in abutting relation with the end plates. In order to prevent induced voltage from generating current in the cage formed by the rods and end plates, an oxide layer is disposed between the rods and blind bores in the end plates.

Abstract: A coaxial stack of laminations for a stator of an electrical machine uses laminations that are substantially identical and in direct abutment with one another. Each of the laminations has an outer periphery and an inner periphery with the outer periphery being defined by an array of outwardly projecting pins and the inner periphery being defined by an array of inwardly projecting teeth. The outwardly projecting pins cooperate with a jacket surrounding the stack to provide a cooling space through which cooling liquid flows while the teeth provide spaces therebetween for receiving for receiving stator windings. The number of pins (npin) is proportional to the number of teeth (nth) according to the relationship (2K+1)/(2Kth) times the number of teeth (nth), where K is a selected integer number and Kth is the number of teeth past which each lamination is rotated with respect to adjacent laminations so that spaces between the teeth of adjacent laminations are aligned.

Abstract: An apparatus for correcting clipping distortion of a receiver system includes: an equalizer which generates a first equalization signal by equalizing a frequency domain clipping signal via a first equalization coefficient correcting a channel distortion, and generates a second equalization signal by equalizing the frequency domain clipping signal via a second equalization coefficient correcting the clipping distortion and the channel distortion; and a signal reconstruction unit which receives the first equalization signal and the second equalization signal from the equalizer, determines a transmission symbol by performing a hard decision with respect to the second equalization, and reconstructs a signal by using an amplitude of the transmission symbol and a phase of the first equalization signal when a level of the amplitude of the transmission symbol is greater than or equal to a reference value.

In embodiments, a method for fabricating a mask having a plurality of patterns for forming a contact hole may be provided, in which the pattern may be designed differently depending on a distance between contact holes to be formed.

Abstract: A golf club is fabricated with at least one vertical stability plate and/or at least one horizontal stability plate at a club head. The golf club is provided with a stability plate and an asymmetrical wing, or a combination of the same, which are installed at an upper side or left and right sides of the head of the golf club such as a driver, wood or iron, for example. An aerodynamic force generated in a downward direction by the loft of the club face is compensated by asymmetric wings applying an aerodynamic lifting force to an upper direction of the club head during a swing of the club. Even when a golfer has a swing speed or posture problem when swinging a club, the head of the club is guided to rotate along a desired proper orbit. A golf ball can be hit by a sweet spot of the head face of the club due to the stability and compensating force for achieving a straight drive, and enhanced flying distance.

Abstract: A polymeric film, multiple-compartment, pouch having an internal frangible seal for confining a fluid and related beverage container with a re-closable fitment for storing and delivering two different flavored liquids or the like. The frangible seal of the clear plastic pouch will burst when sustained squeezed thus allowing the flavors to swirl and mix within the pouch.

Abstract: Disclosed is an access control method using a token having security attributes in a computer system when a user gains access to a specific file. The computer system adopts a token having encryption, modification, execution, and provision attributes to determine access permission or access denial between a user and a file in such a way that a file access request is controlled. The access control method enciphers a file and stores the enciphered file in a storage unit, so that it can maintain security of the file even though the storage unit is stolen. The access control method enables a system manager to read only enciphered contents of the file when the system manager performs a data backup operation, thereby eliminating limitations in commonly operating a system simultaneously with maintaining file security.

The wafer may have a plurality of semiconductor chips and scribe lines between the adjacent semiconductor chips. The wafer may be sawn along the scribe lines to form grooves between the adjacent semiconductor chips. A liquid protection material may be screen printed or spin-coated to form a protection layer on the back surface and within the grooves. The protection layer within the grooves may be more narrowly cut to form individual semiconductor devices and to leave a protection layer remaining thereon.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of providing a trusted path between a client and a system using an access control processing technique. The method of providing a trusted path between a client and a system includes the step of determining whether access to resources of the system will be permitted or refused on the basis of access control rules and databased attributes set by a security administrator. Thereafter, the client is notified of permission for or refusal of the access in accordance with the result of the determination.

Abstract: An interface device according to the present invention interfaces with a host by an m-bit unit. A flag signal generator circuit generates a mode flag signal indicating whether a data transfer mode of the interface device is a multi-transfer mode. A control circuit operates responsive to information indicating whether an address from the host is a data width aligned address and whether the address thus transmitted belongs to a data width aligned address range. The control circuit causes m-bit data from the host to be continuously stored in a first-in first-out memory. Data continuously stored in the memory is at once transmitted to a high-speed bus connected to the interface device.
