  • Patent number: 11658523
    Abstract: A consequent-pole permanent magnet biased bearingless doubly-salient motor includes: a core of a stator/rotor, a middle part of a surface, facing an air gap (11), of each stator pole 1-1 is grooved toward an edge part of the stator pole 1-1 in an anti-clockwise direction, one permanent magnet is attached in each groove, and a surface, facing the air gap (11), of each permanent magnet (3) is the same in polarity; each stator pole 1-1 is wounded with an armature coil, the armature coils are serially connected in sequence to form an armature winding, and the armature winding is respectively connected to an external main circuit; and every three stator poles 1-1 are wound with a suspension coil, and the suspension coils opposite spatially and radially are serially connected to form a suspension winding connected to an external suspension control circuit.

  • Patent number: 11536643
    Abstract: A method of automated measurement of motility and morphology parameters of the same single motile sperm. Automated motility and morphology measurements of the same single sperm are performed under different microscope magnifications. The same single motile sperm is automatically positioned and kept inside microscope field of view and in focus after magnification switch. A method of automated non-invasive measurement of sperm morphology parameters under high magnification of imaging. Sperm morphology parameters including subcellular structures are automatically measured without invasive sample staining. A method of automatically selecting sperms with normal motility and morphology and DNA integrity for infertility treatment.

  • Publication number: 20210078583
    Abstract: A method and system of controlling a drive-neutral-drive (D-N-D) shift in a multi-speed transmission. The method includes receiving a drive to neutral (D-N) shift request followed by a neutral to drive (N-D) shift request; initiating a drive to neutral (D-N) shift and determining an attained gear; determining a scheduled gear; determining if the scheduled gear is equal to the attained gear; and determining whether an off-going clutch for the drive to neutral (D-N) shift is in a hold state. The method further includes (I) aborting the drive to neutral (D-N) shift when (i) the scheduled gear is not equal to the attained gear and (ii) the off-going clutch for the (D-N) shift is in the hold state, or (II) completing a shift to neutral (N) when the off-going clutch for (D-N) shift is not in the hold state followed by shifting back drive (D).
