Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement to compensate a non-uniform air gap, which is located in an electric machine. The invention especially relates to a compensation of an air-gap, which is between a rotor and a stator of a generator. 
     According to the invention the electrical machine contains a stator arrangement (108) and a rotor arrangement (114). The rotor arrangement (114) rotates around a longitudinal axis (A). At least parts (118) of the rotor arrangement interact with parts (111) of the stator arrangement to generate electrical power. The air gap is defined by the distance between the parts of the rotor arrangement and the parts of the stator arrangement. The parts of the stator arrangement are opposite to the parts of the rotor arrangement along a certain length. The cross section of the air gap changes along this length thus the air gap is not uniform in view to the referred certain length. The flux density of magnets, which are part of the rotor arrangement, is changed in dependency to the cross section of the air-gap.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a catalyst for directly producing a lactide which is a cyclic ester used as a monomer for polylactides, and a method for directly producing a lactide using the catalyst, the method including the transesterification reaction between two molecules of an ester of lactic acid or a mixture containing the ester of lactic acid with a small amount of lactic acid and oligomer of lactic acid under an inert environment in the presence of a titanium-based catalyst or a catalyst mixture containing the titanium-based catalyst so as to produce lactide while simultaneously removing an alcohol (ROH) generated as a by-product. As compared to a conventional commercialized process, since the method for producing a lactide in accordance with the present disclosure is a novel process capable of directly producing the lactide from the ester of lactic acid, energy consumption is low and the lactide can be produced through a simple process showing a high yield while maintaining optical property (D-form or L-form optical isomer).
