In the present work, an integrated method of pole shape design optimization for reduction of torque pulsation components in permanent magnet synchronous motors is developed. A progressive design process is presented to find feasible optimal shapes. This method is applied on the pole shape optimization of two prototype permanent magnet synchronous motors, i.e., 4-poles/6-slots and 4-poles-12slots.

The linear adiabatic pulsation-periods of Mira variable stars have been derived. Approximately 2701[1]models were calculated for M = 0.7 MΘ to 2 MΘ stars with radii from 180 RΘ to 340 RΘ and luminosities from 2800 LΘ to 10,000 LΘ. The chemical composition of all models is (X,Z) = (0.7,0.02). From the result of this study, linear relations on Luminosity-Period-Mass relationship and luminosity-pe...

Some results are given from the comparison with observations of a large number of hydrodynamic pulsation models: (1) Linear pulsation calculations are adequate for the determination of the masses of RRd stars; (2) the Fourier phase parameter 4>31 measures the luminosity-to-mass ratio L/M1.81 for RRc stars; (3) most of the w Cen RRc stars seem to be evolved, as has previously been suggested; (4)...

Expressions are developed for the flux and polarization of radiation scattered by a spherically symmetric envelope for a central point stellar light source that radiates anisotropically. These are obtained in terms of the components of the spherical harmonics of the flux anisotropy from the source. Such anisotropy can arise from stellar spots, or from distortion of the star through rotation, pu...

Barycentric corrections made to the timing of Kepler observations, necessitated by variations in light arrival time at the satellite, break the regular time-sampling of the data – the time stamps are periodically modulated. A consequence is that Nyquist aliases are split into multiplets that can be identified by their shape. Real pulsation frequencies are distinguishable from these aliases and ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We developed a novel dynamic 4-dimensional CT angiography to accurately evaluate dynamics in cerebral aneurysm. METHODS Dynamic 4-dimensional CT angiography achieved high-resolution 3-dimensional imaging with temporal resolution in a beating heart using dynamic scanning data sets reconstructed with a retrospective simulated R-R interval reconstruction algorithm. RESUL...

There is a fairly tight correlation between the pulsation periods and effective temperatures of ZZ Ceti stars (cooler stars have longer periods). This seems to fit the theoretical picture, where driving occurs in the partial ionization zone, which lies deeper and deeper within the star as it cools. It is reasonable to assume that the pulsation periods should be related to the thermal timescale ...

Observations of fast transport of fluorescent tracers in mouse brains have led to the hypothesis of bulk water flow directed from arterial to venous paravascular spaces (PVS) through the cortical interstitium. At the same time, there is evidence for interstitial solute transport by diffusion rather than by directed bulk fluid motion. It has been shown that the two views may be consolidated by i...
