Patent NZ-264373-A (NZ)
Title: Permanent magnet rotor electric motor
Inventor: MINATO KOHEI
IPC: H02K29/10
Filed: 1994-09-02
Abstract: On a rotor (6;8) which is fixed to a rotatable rotating shaft (4), a plurality of permanent magnets (22A-22H) are disposed along the direction of rotation such that the same magnetic pole type thereof face outward. In the same way, balancers (20A-20H) are disposed on the rotor for balancing the rotation of this rotor. Each of the permanent magnets is obliquely arranged with respect to the radial direction line of the rotor. At the outer periphery of the rotor, an electromagnet (12;14) is disposed facing this rotor, with this electromagnet intermittently energized based on the rotation of the rotor. According to the magnetic rotating apparatus of the present invention, rotational energy can be efficiently obtained from permanent magnets. This is made possible by minimizing as much as possible current supplied to the electromagnets, so that only a required amount of electrical energy is supplied to the electromagnets. <IMAGE>

Title: A method for levelling and filling of ditches, and a device for use in levelling and filling ditches
Inventor: WIKER OMAR
IPC: E02D17/12
Filed: 1996-05-21
Abstract: A method for levelling and filling a ditch is disclosed, where a levelled layer of fine material is provided together with a contiguous layer of coarse material. A box-shaped device is disclosed, having a height-adjustable rear end (11) which when raised and lowered will determine the levelling height of the fine material which is in the box-shaped frame and exits therefrom below the end wall (able to be lifted or lowered) when the box-shaped frame is moved through a ditch. Lateral projections (26, 27) on the end wall (11) bring about a simultaneous dispensing/apportioning of coarse material along the side of the levelled layer of fine material (3). Whilst the box-shaped frame is moved forward and dispenses the layer of fine material, the side projections (26, 27) will deal with the dispensing/levelling of coarse material thrown thereon. The box-shaped frame has a roof (16, 17) having cross-fall, which will guide the coarse material down to the side. The roof (16, 17) can be opened to allow the box-shaped frame to be filled with fine material.

Title: Stable and continuous production of gypsum boards by detecting presence of an electrical current flowing between upper and lower forming units
Inventor: SASAKI KUNITOSHI
IPC: B28B1/16
Filed: 1999-06-28
Abstract: Provided are a process and an apparatus for producing gypsum boards, both of which feature minimized occurrence of defective products and especially excellent continuous productivity and superb efficiency. Making use of the facts that lining paper sheets for gypsum boards are insulators and a gypsum slurry held between the lining paper sheets is a good electrical conductor, a measurement of an electric current flowing between an upper forming unit and a lower forming unit or a like method makes it possible to promptly detect any localized tearing which may occur in the overlay paper and/or underlay paper due to an undesired object or the like mixed in during continuous production of gypsum boards and moreover, to readily remove the undesired object or the like as a cause for the tearing without stopping the production of gypsum boards while preventing the localized tearing from spreading over the entire width of the paper. The production process and apparatus, therefore, permit stable and continuous production of gypsum boards.

Title: Flexible bags having enhanced capacity and enhanced stability in use
Inventor: JACKSON BEVERLY JULIAN
IPC: B65D33/00
Filed: 2000-06-16
Abstract: Disclosed is a flexible bag comprising at least one sheet of flexible sheet material assembled to form a semi-enclosed container having an opening defined by a periphery. The opening defines an opening plane, and the bag has an upper region adjacent to the opening and a lower region below the upper region. The upper region has a preferential elongation axis perpendicular to the opening plane which permits the upper region to expand in response to an externally-applied force upon the bag, while the lower region has a preferential elongation axis parallel to the opening plane which permits the lower region to expand in response to forces exerted by contents within the bag to provide an increase in volume of said bag. The bag therefore exhibits increased stability in use and is easier to close.
