Title: Mounting magnets in a rotor for an AC generator
Inventor: KUSASE SHIN
IPC: H02K1/24
Filed: 1994-08-26
Abstract: A rotor embodiment has sixteen magnets (11), each of which fits between two of sixteen claw-like magnetic poles (15, 16) formed on the outer periphery of Lundell-type pole cores (7) which rotate integrally with a shaft (6). The magnets are held in position by a magnet holder (12) which has been formed by interconnecting zig-sagging segments and has elasticity as a whole. Here, the permanent magnets are held by the magnet holder so that the magnet holder does not protrude towards the rotor side from the outer peripheral face of the Lundell-type pole cores and the contacting faces of the magnet holder contact the outer faces of the permanent magnets. The claw-like magnetic poles are disposed so as to face the stator (2). <IMAGE>

Title: Imaging detector and method of production
Inventor: SPARTIOTIS KONSTANTINOS EVANGE
IPC: G01T1/24
Filed: 1996-10-18
Abstract: In a semi conductor imaging detector, the distance D between the edge of the substrate (22) and the edgemost charge collection contact (26) is made as small as possible, preferably less than 500~m and/or less than 1/3 of the substrate thickness. Additionally or alternatively, a passivation layer (32, figure 5) between the edgemost portion of the contact and the substrate surface and/or a field shaping conductor adjacent to the surface. A field shaping region (36, figure 6) may also be arranged outside the edge of the substrate and may encircle each detector device, or it may encircle an arrangement of several devices. In such an arrangement, the spacing between adjacent detectors should be less than 500~m. A shield (50, figure 13) may also be used to shield the edge of each detector, or the edge region of the arrangement of several detectors, from incident radiation. Such arrangements can reduce the effect of edge image deterioration caused by strong field non-uniformities at the detector edges.

Title: A borehole measuring system employing electromagnetic wave propagation
Inventor: THOMPSON LARRY W
IPC: G01V3/30
Filed: 1995-03-07
Abstract: This invention is directed toward the determination of geophysical parameters of earth formations penetrated by a borehole. In particular this invention relates to corrections for the adverse effects of drilling fluid invasion and bed boundary conditions on logging measurements. The borehole instrument has at least one pair of transmit and receive antennae, as shown there are four transmit 203,205,207,209 and two receive antennae 211,213, equispaced about a central position. The transmitters are energised at at least two frequencies by numerically controlled oscillators 223,225 to transmit waves into the borehole and adjacent formations. The waves are received 231 and measurements of relative phase difference and amplitude ratio compared to the transmitted signals are taken. From these, apparent resistivity of the earth formation can be computed in processor 221. By using a model of the relationship between apparent resistivity and desired formation parameters, the effects of drilling fluid invasion and bed boundary conditions cab be negated. This model can be derived from calibration measurements in known environment and borehole parameters.

Title: Soluble fish feed encapsulated in an edible permeable skin
Inventor: PAYNE DAVID JOHN
IPC: A01K97/04
Filed: 1998-12-11
Abstract: A fish feed pellet, comprising cereals and fishmeal, is dipped into a solution of water and preservative before dusting with wheat gluten powder. The dusted pellet is then rolled in a centrifuge whilst hot air is circulated around the pellet to cause the gluten to form a rubbery yet permeable skin. The pellet, which may be used as bait, can dissolve inside the permeable skin thus allowing fish to smell and locate the feed contained within. However, the skin will only allow the bait to be consumed by fish large enough to swallow the pellet whole and consequently small undesired fish are prevented from consuming the pellet. The permeable skin may be injected with liquid fish feed stimulants with a hypodermic syringe and the skin may be perforated to allow the feed stimulants to be control released. The preservative is preferably monopolypropylene and more layers of skin may be applied to make the pellet more durable.
