    Abstract: An improved ultra-fast cooling system is disclosed for cryopreservation of biomaterials. The ultra-fast cooling system is designed to uniformly vitrify or partially vitrify biomaterials, including but not limited to, human biomaterials, proteins, peptides, cells, stem cells, antibodies, neurons, human tissue, organs, cornea, skin, retina, eggs, sperm, embryos, body fluids, blood, serum, lymph fluid, animal tissue, plant biomaterials, plant tissue, germ plasma, pollen, plant sap, and bioengineered tissue, without cryoprotectants or with a low concentration of cryoprotectants. Cooling rates are sufficient to uniformly cryopreserve biomaterials, and can be used in diagnostic cytology and biological cryofixation applications. Other materials also can be cooled uniformly, such as inorganic materials for processing.

    Abstract: A linear position sensor assembly having a magnetic shield minimizes interference (noise) from adjacent electrical and electromagnetic devices, particularly solenoids. The sensor assembly includes a permanent magnet linear contactless displacement (PLCD) sensor comprising a pair of magnetic field sensors which are spaced apart by a member of high magnetic permeability such as a metal bar. The sensors and metal bar are enclosed, i.e., surrounded on three sides, by a cover or shield of high magnetic permeability material such as steel or mu metal, for example. A permanent magnet is disposed in sensed proximity to the sensors and translates with a clutch actuator component. When the clutch actuator component translates axially, the two field sensors provide a signal to associated electronics having high linearity, low noise and no deadband.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a medium for preserving cells at non-cryogenic freezing temperatures. The medium comprises a hydrophilic and nontoxic polymer or other macromolecule, an aqueous liquid, and a cryoprotectant. The molecules of the macromolecule form compact three-dimensional structures that are spherical in shape when dissolved in the aqueous liquid. The medium of the present invention can be used for long-term storage of cells at non-cryogenic temperatures with outcomes similar to those seen with storage at cryogenic temperatures.

    Abstract: A permanent magnet machine is provided with a rotor positioned at least partially within a stator. The rotor includes first and second ring segments oriented axially around a central axis. The rotor defines first and second configurations in the first and second ring segments, respectively. The first configuration is sufficiently different from the second configuration such that torque ripple may be minimized. A first layer of slots, defining a slot outer edge, may be formed in the rotor. In one embodiment, a stator-to-slot gap varies between the first and second ring segments. In another embodiment, a stator-rotor gap varies between the first and second ring segments. In another embodiment, a bridge thickness varies between the first and second ring segments. Thus the rotor exhibits axial asymmetry.
