  • Patent number: 8994241
    Abstract: In general, in one aspect, a multi-content composition pipeline encrypts protected video streams that may be utilized as part of a composite window using different encryption keys so that each encrypted video stream has a unique security domain. The protected video streams may be received as encrypted and compressed video streams that are decrypted and decoded (decompressed) and then the decompressed video streams may be encrypted. The encryption keys used to encrypt the decompressed video stream may be related to the encryption keys used to decrypt the corresponding encrypted compressed video stream. The encrypted decompressed video streams are stored in memory until they are needed for generating the composite window at which point they are read from memory and decrypted. The composite window is generated from the decrypted uncompressed video streams and possibly other content in real time and thus is not stored in memory prior to transmission to a display.

  • Patent number: 7309939
    Abstract: The invention provides means of limiting maximum current conducted through windings of an electric machine having a rotor and a stator. By encouraging an appropriate leakage flux around a winding, a leak impedance can be achieved which may be used, according to the invention, to limit the maximum current in the winding as a matter of machine design.

  • Patent number: 6777847
    Abstract: Divided magnet rotors R having a stepped skew rather than a helical skew are described. The stepped skew enables the use of straight magnet sections (44) that can be inserted into the rotor core notches (38) thereby eliminating the need to produce a helix from the rotor cage. The stepped skew is effective in decoupling stator slot order harmonics. In addition, the stepped skew rotor R includes, in some embodiments, open slots (22) so that the rotor is not subject to rotor bridge saturation.

  • Patent number: 6177746
    Abstract: A low inductance electrical machine that may be used as an alternator or motor with low armature inductance is disclosed. Arrangements of complementary armature windings are presented in which the fluxes induced by currents in the armature windings effectively cancel leading to low magnetic energy storage within the machine. This leads to low net flux levels, low core losses, low inductance and reduced tendency toward magnetic saturation. The inclusion of additional gaps in the magnetic circuit allows for independent adjustment of air gap geometry and armature inductance. Separately excited field arrangements are disclosed that allow rotor motion to effect brush-less alternator or brush-less motor operation. An exemplary geometry includes a stator including two annular rings and a concentric field coil together with a rotor structure separated from the stator by four air gaps.

  • Patent number: 5959387
    Abstract: A method for winding a field assembly for a universal motor and apparatus produced thereby is disclosed. The method involves winding both a field winding and a brake winding over different field poles within a field core simultaneously. After the first field winding and the first brake winding are wound, the field core is indexed to allow a second brake winding to be wound over the first field winding, and a second field winding to be wound over the first brake winding. By using the disclosed method, a field assembly is produced in which both field windings and the brake windings are wound using one continuous wire for each. Moreover, the presented method can be performed on a single winding machine.
