ATP is synthesized by ATP synthase (F(O)F(1)-ATPase). Its rotary electromotor (F(O)) translocates protons (in some organisms sodium cations) and generates torque to drive the rotary chemical generator (F(1)). Elastic power transmission between F(O) and F(1) is essential for smoothing the cooperation of these stepping motors, thereby increasing their kinetic efficiency. A particularly compliant ...

Figure 1: Stator Cross-Section Figure 1 shows a cartoon view of an axial cross-section of a twelve-slot stator. Actually, what is shown is the shape of a thin sheet of steel, or lamination that is used to make up the magnetic circuit. The iron is made of thin sheets to control eddy current losses. Thickness varies according to freuqency of operation, but in machines for 60 Hz (the vast bulk of ...

In this paper, we try to detect mechanical faults of induction motors. For this goal, the stator line current of motor is considered. Wavelet Packet Decomposition of this signal can provide good information about the occurrence, type and size of the fault. But it is better to have more understandable concept for an operator to find fault. Hence, fuzzy system is applied to wavelet features. Ecce...

The ability of the electromagnetic flux measured in various locations of a 35-kW cage induction motor to provide useful information about faults was investigated. The usefulness of this monitoring parameter was assessed in comparison with some other electrical parameters used for fault detection, such as stator phase current and circulating currents between the parallel branches of the stator w...

Bacterial flagellar motors use specific ion gradients to drive their rotation. It has been suggested that the electrostatic interactions between charged residues of the stator and rotor proteins are important for rotation in Escherichia coli. Mutational studies have indicated that the Na(+)-driven motor of Vibrio alginolyticus may incorporate interactions similar to those of the E. coli motor, ...

A stator is proposed as necessary to prevent futile rotation of the F(1) catalytic sector of mitochondrial ATP synthase (mtATPase) during periods of ATP synthesis or ATP hydrolysis. Although the second stalk of mtATPase is generally believed to fulfil the role of a stator capable of withstanding the stress produced by rotation of the central rotor, there is little evidence to directly support t...

This paper proposes an original simplified model aimed to simulate, an easy way, inter turns short circuit fault, phase to phase fault and phase to ground fault. In this model, the stator is considered as six magnetically coupled windings and the rotor as three not magnetically coupled R–L circuits. The paper also presents the starand delta-connected stator configurations of the simplified mode...

Double-stator switched reluctance machines have higher torque density and lower vibration and acoustic noise level in comparison with conventional switched reluctance machines. Static characteristics of a 8/6 Double-stator switched reluctance machine have already calculated using finite element method. However, no measurement has been presented for the static torque of the machine. This paper p...

Bacillus subtilis swims in liquid media and swarms over solid surfaces, and it encodes two sets of flagellar stator homologs. Here, we show that B. subtilis requires only the MotA/MotB stator during swarming motility and that the residues required for stator force generation are highly conserved from the Proteobacteria to the Firmicutes. We further find that mutants that abolish stator function...

In this paper, a novel unity power factor (UPF) hysteresis current control method for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) drive system is presented. The optimum voltage vectors, which are selected from a switching table according to the magnitude and phase of the stator current vector, are applying to the voltage source inverter (VSI). The UPF operation for SPMSM is achie...
