Abstract:
An electric machine, such as a brushless direct current motor, includes a number of stator formed as stator sections. The stator sections are longitudinally offset from each other along a common central axis of the electric machine. The stator sections are magnetically independent of one another, but are electrically driven with offset phases typically in a manner similar to a standard multi-phase motor. The stator sections may be further offset with one another in radial position. The structure of the stator sections provides advantages in terms of efficiency, powe consumption, torque, and thermal performance, and can be especially advantageous where a battery is used to power the motor, such as in portable hand tools or driving motors for vehicles.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to certain substituted pyridinyl and pyrimidinyl derivatives of Fomula (Ia) that are modulators of metabolism. Accordingly, compounds of the present invention are useful in the treatment of metabolic- related disorders and complications thereof, such as, diabetes and obesity.
Abstract:
Complexes of a biotinylated fluorescent polymer and a biotin binding protein and solid supports coated with the fluorescent polymer complexes are described. The complexes can be used as sensors for detecting biological recognition events (e.g., nucleic acid hybridization reactions or enzymatic induced polypeptide cleavage). Methods of making the complexes and methods of using the complexes for detecting the presence and/or amount of a target analyte in a sample are also described. The target analyte can be an enzyme (e.g., β-secretase) or a nucleic acid (e.g., a single stranded or double stranded nucleic acid).
