| 20080310422 | DATA CENTER VIRTUAL LOCAL AREA NETWORK SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method, system and service for a data center computer network. A core network switches data using a first protocol layer. A first access switch is in electrical communication with the core network. The first access switch communicates the data to the core network using the first protocol layer. A second redundant access switch forms a first access switch pair with the first access switch. The second access switch is in electrical communication with the core network and communicates the data using the first protocol layer. The second access switch is in electrical communication with first access switch and communicates with the first access switch using a second protocol layer. The second protocol layer is at lower OSI level than the first protocol layer. The first access switch and the second access switch are configured to form a first VLAN. A first edge device is in electrical communication with the first access switch and the second access switch. The first edge device is part of the first VLAN. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20080222352 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR EQUITABLE SHARING OF A CAM TABLE IN A NETWORK SWITCH IN AN ON-DEMAND ENVIRONMENT - A method, system and program product for equitable sharing of a CAM (Content Addressable Memory) table among multiple users of a switch. The method includes reserving buffers in the table to be shared, the remaining buffers being allocated to each user. The method further includes establishing whether or not an address contained in a packet from a user is listed in a buffer in the table, if the address is listed, updating a time-to-live value for the buffer for forwarding the packet and, if the address is not listed, determining whether or not the user has exceeded its allocated buffers and whether or not the reserved buffers have been exhausted, such that, if the user has exceeded its allocated buffers and the reserved buffers have been exhausted, the address is not added to the table and the user is precluded from using any additional buffers in the network switch. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20090030529 | TOTALLY IMPLANTABLE HEARING PROSTHESIS - The invention comprises a totally implantable hearing prosthesis for hearing impaired persons. An inertial vibrational element is hermetically sealed and implanted in bone between the lateral and superior semicircular canals without breaching the integrity of the canals. The vibrational element is adapted to vibrate the walls of the canals and the fluids contained therein, thereby vibrating contiguous fluids within the cochlea thus stimulating hair cells and creating a hearing percept. The invention can also be adapted to be a tinnitus masking system, and/or used in combination with a cochlear implant hearing system. | 01-29-2009 |

The arrangement includes a rotor and a stator of the electrical machine, while an air-gap is between the rotor and the stator. The electrical machine includes an air-cooling-arrangement, which circulates air inside the electrical machine. The electrical machine includes a liquid-cooling-arrangement, which circulates cooling-liquid inside the electrical machine. The air-cooling arrangement and the liquid-cooling-arrangement are connected by an air-to-liquid heat-exchanger, which is applied to transport heat out from the electrical machine by the cooling-liquid. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100102656 | Arrangement for cooling of an electrical machine - An air-gap is between a rotor and a stator. The stator comprises a number of stacked laminate-plates. The laminate-plates are positioned and fixed by a structural support and by end-plates in relation to a central-part of the stator to achieve the air-gap. A cavity is formed by the end-plates, the central-part of the stator, the air-gap and an internal surface of the rotor. An air-cooling arrangement is arranged and used to circulate a gaseous medium for cooling purposes inside the cavity. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100102657 | ARRANGEMENT FOR COOLING OF AN ELECTRICAL MACHINE - In one aspect, an arrangement for cooling of an electrical machine is provided. A rotor and a stator include an air-gap arranged between the rotor and the stator. The rotor and the stator include a circulation arrangement to allow the circulation of air for cooling-purposes of the rotor and of the stator. The rotor and the stator are encapsulated by a shell which is formed to allow the flow of hot air from the rotor and the stator to a heat-exchanger. The shell is formed to allow the flow of cool air from the heat-exchanger back to the rotor and the stator for cooling-purposes. The shell includes a number of corners, while each corner is used to gather the hot air before it is guided to the heat-exchanger. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20110175364 | Magnet assembly - A magnet assembly is disclosed. The magnet assembly includes a base element and a magnet attached to a first surface of the base element. A second surface of the base element opposite to the first surface of the base element includes a contour, which is adapted to engage with a complementary contour of a support structure of a rotor arrangement. It is further described a method for engaging a magnet assembly to a support structure of a rotor arrangement, a rotor arrangement for an electromechanical transducer, an electromechanical transducer and a wind turbine. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110175480 | Magnetic Component Part for a Rotor Assembly - A magnetic component part for a rotor assembly of an electromechanical transducer is provided. The magnetic component part includes a base element having a first side and an opposing second side, a permanent magnet, attached to the base element at the first side, and a mounting structure fixed to the base element at the second side and adapted to be mechanically connected to a support structure of the rotor assembly. The permanent magnet is located in an offset position with respect to a central axis of the mounting structure, which central axis extends from the mounting structure through the second side to the first side. A rotor assembly, an electromechanical transducer and a wind turbine, which are all equipped with at least four magnetic component parts are also provided as well as a method for manufacturing a rotor assembly including at least four magnetic component parts. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110266911 | Winding Arrangement - A winding arrangement for an armature of an electric machine is provided. The winding arrangement includes a plurality of coils and a plurality of distinct winding types, wherein the coils are arranged on the armature such that each coil comprises the same number of windings and the same number of each of the distinct winding types.
