Abstract:
A power converter for a switched reluctance motor (SRM) or a permanent magnet brushless direct current (dc) motor (PMBDCM) that includes a front-end boost partial circuit (551) for connecting with a first phase winding of the motor (552) to form a front-end boost circuit (553) and a back-end boost partial circuit (554) for connecting with a second phase winding of the motor (555) to form a back-end boost circuit (554). The front-end boost partial circuit (551) generates a first step-up voltage in cooperation with the inductance provided by the first phase winding (552). The back-end boost partial circuit (554) generates a second step-up voltage in cooperation with the inductance provided by the second phase winding (555).
Abstract:
The invention relates to the production of enzymatically active recombinant human and animal lysosomal enzymes involving construction and expression of recombinant expression constructs comprising coding sequences of human or animal lysosomal enzymes in a plant expression system. The plant expression system provides for post-translational modification and processing to produce a recombinant gene product exhibiting enzymatic activity. The invention is demonstrated by working examples in which transgenic tobacco plants having recombinant expression constructs comprising human hGC and IDUA nucleotide sequences produces enzymatically active modified human glucocerebrosidase and human alpha -L-iduronidase. The recombinant lysosomal enzymes produced in accordance with the invention may be used for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to enzyme replacement therapy for the therapeutic treatment of human and animal lysosomal storage diseases.
Abstract:
A rotor for an electrical motor (100) may include a plurality of salient radial field rotor poles (109) and a plurality of salient axial field rotor poles (110). The radial field rotor poles (109) and the axial field rotor poles (110) are respectively oriented on the rotor to receive or convey substantially perpendicular flux fileds. Additionally, the radial field rotor poles may include both inner and outer peripheral rotor poles (704, 704”) for communicating radial flux fields with separate coaxial stators (701, 705).
