Abstract:
A synchronous reluctance motor-generator exhibiting low eddy current and tooth harmonic losses, high bending stiffness and high radial strength, which can be manufactured at low cost, includes a stator and a conductively shielded solid rotor. The rotor for the synchronous reluctance machine is characterized as including at least one pair of magnetic material elements disposed at opposing ends of a line segment which line segment intersects the spin axis of the rotor and which line segment is included in a plane disposed substantially perpendicular to the spin axis, wherein the outer surface of the rotor, at least in the vicinity of the magnetic material elements, is covered with a layer of non-magnetic conducting material. A method for manufacturing a shielded solid rotor for a synchronous reluctance motor-generator and a clamping jig suitable for use with this method are also described.
Abstract:
This invention relates to means of qualitative and quantitative analysis of microbial populations potentially present in a sample. These means notably comprise the use of at least one RNA-targeted oligonucleotide probe for in situ hybridization in whole cells; followed by the extraction of those probes which have become hybridized by separation from their target and elution from the microbial cells; as well as the detection and measurement of said extracted probes.
