Abstract: A motor rotor body (31) includes: a first and a second flange member (32, 33) formed from a conductive material; a plurality of coupling members (34) made from a conductive weak magnetic material and arranged at a predetermin ed interval in the circumferential direction; and induction magnetic poles ( 39L, 39R) formed from soft magnetic material and arranged between the adjace nt coupling members (34) in the circumferential direction. The outer circumf erential portions of the first and the second flange members (32, 33) are co nnected to the both end portions of the coupling members (34) by bolts (37) so as to support the induction magnetic poles (39L, 39R). Since the connecti on portions between the first and the second flange members (32, 33) and the coupling members (34) are electrically insulated by an insulation coating, it is possible to reduce eddy current flowing in a closed circuit formed by the first flange member (32), the coupling member (34), the second flange me mber (33), and the coupling member (34) during operation. This minimizes hea t generation and energy loss accompanying the eddy current.

Filed: 2008-09-11
Abstract: A system mitigates the effects of a market spike caused by the triggering and the election of a conditional order in an automated matching system.  Conditional orders submitted to a trading engine are evaluated to compare a price of an order to a predetermined price range. Matching of the orders may be delayed when the price of the orders lies outside of the predetermined price range. An opening price to be used by the trading engine is derived and a time interval is used to delay a matching of the orders until the opening price is within a predetermined price range up to a maximum delay time set by a control center. Implied spreads are also removed until other instruments within a trading unit are verified open.
