Title: Armature core construction facilitating impregnation
Inventor: WIKER JUERGEN
IPC: H02K3/48
Filed: 2004-08-27
Abstract: In an armature core 1 for an electric motor having a plurality of armature laminations 2, 3 with respective winding slots 4 for receiving an armature winding 5, the winding slots 4 of adjacent armature laminations 2, 3 are disposed flush with one another and form a channel 6. To improve fixing of the armature winding 5 in position the winding slots of laminations 3 are of larger cross section than laminations 2 permitting impregnating material to pass to the base of the winding slot 4. The laminations have a throat portion 15 formed by two undercuts 16. The laminations 2,3 may be arranged alternately or in other sequences. Additionally, at least some of the winding slots 4 each may have an inflow channel 11 , which opens out in each case into their region facing the centre of the armature core 1. The inflow channels may be linked by a through bore forming an axially extending transverse channel 12.

Title: Gated coupling
Inventor: PRENDERGAST BARTHOLOMEW
IPC: E02F3/36
Filed: 2006-04-06
Abstract: A coupling 10 for attaching to the arm 56 of an excavator or other plant machine comprises a body 12 defining a c-shaped slot 14 which communicates at its first end with an exterior of the body 12 and which is closed at its second end. A gate 22 is rotatably mounted to the body 12 at the first end of the slot 14 to normally close the slots, the gate member comprising a recess 28 which may be brought into communication with the slot 14 by rotation of the gate 22 relative to the body 12. The coupling 10 can be fastened to the eye 52 of a chain which is used to lift heavy objects. The rotational nature of the gate 22 alleviates the risk that the gate 22 may unintentionally release the chain. The orientation of the c-shaped slot 14 ensures that the chain is normally held away from the gate 22 to alleviate the risk of any strain being applied to the gate 22. The gate may be locked in its retention position.

Title: Secure download of a boot image to a remote boot environment of a computer
Inventor: GREWAL KARANVIR
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2007-09-28
Abstract: The invention relates to providing security for boot image exchanges by using data tunneling to protect a boot image download to a remote boot environment of a computer system. An authentication channel 503 is established between a client 501 which implements a Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) and a remote boot server 502. A remote boot image exchange then occurs between the client and the server in which the client sends a boot image request and the server responds by sending a copy of the boot image, characterised by the use of a data tunnel 504 in the authentication channel to communicate data related to the boot image exchange. The data tunnel may be a type-length-value (TLV) type or attribute-value pair (AVP) type and the tunneled data may be the entire boot exchange itself 505 and may also include credentials 506. Upon completion of the exchange the client executes the received boot image from within the resident PXE environment.
