Abstract: A low inductance electrical alternator or motor (1) with low armature inductance is disclosed. Arrangements of complementary armature windings (40) are presented in which the fluxes induced by currents in the armature windings (40) effectively cancel leading to low magnetic energy storage within the machine (1). This leads to low net flux levels, low core losses, low inductance and reduced tendency toward magnetic saturation. Separately excited field arrangements are disclosed that allow rotor motion to effect brushless alternator or brushless motor operation. An exemplary geometry includes a stator (2) including two toroidal rings (4, 6) and a concentric field coil (8) together with a rotor structure (22, 24, 25) separated from the stator (2) by four air gaps (54, 56).

Abstract: A thoraco-lumbo-sacral brace formed of flexible materials designed to fit patients of varying shapes and sizes. The brace comprises an anterior support and a posterior support, both made of a hook and loop material, and connected by two sets of connection straps. The connection straps comprise a series of flexible straps attached to a common strap, and a rigid strap. Each flexible strap passes through a loop attached to the posterior support. The common strap is made of a hook and loop material. The common strap may be fastened to the anterior support at any angle in order to tighten the brace and adjust it to fit a variety of body types. The rigid strap similarly passes through a loop and is attached to the anterior support atop the common strap, thereby minimizing unwanted lateral motion. The anterior support further may accept a plurality of splints sized to fit within a plurality of cavities located on the front side of the anterior support. These splints provide additional support for the patient. Lateral panels may be attached between the anterior support and posterior support to widen the brace. A thoracic lumbar support may be attached to the posterior support, providing increased support for a patient's upper back. A sternal extension may be attached to the anterior support, thus providing additional bracing for a patient's chest.
