Patent number: 8829742Abstract: The present invention is a high efficiency permanent magnet machine capable of maintaining high power density. The machine is operable over a wide range of power output. The improved efficiency is due in part to copper wires with a current density lower than traditional designs and larger permanent magnets coupled with a large air gap. In a certain embodiment wide stator teeth are used to provide additional improved efficiency through significantly reducing magnetic saturation resulting in lower current. The machine also has a much smaller torque angle than that in traditional design at rated load and thus has a higher overload handling capability and improved efficiency. In addition, when the machine is used as a motor, an adaptive phase lag compensation scheme helps the sensorless field oriented control (FOC) scheme to perform more accurately.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2014Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Inventors: Xinzhang Wu, Hanzhou Liu, Yang Hu, Louis Chow, Jon Harms, Martin Epstein, Wei Wu

Patent number: 8585685Abstract: A device for the treatment of human or animal tissue by means of a movable instrument is disclosed. The device comprises means for generating a magnetic stator field, in which the tissue is located. For example, the means for generating the magnetic stator field may be a magnetic resonance tomograph (MRT). At least one conductor loop is provided on or in the instrument, and a generator is provided for generating a current that flows through the conductor loop in order to generate a magnetic useful field, which, in conjunction with the stator field, generates a resulting action for applying a useful force to the instrument.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2007Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Erbe Elektromedizin GmbHInventor: Martin Hagg
