Einfluß von Magnetisierungsart und Polbedeckungswinkel auf die Anzugsmomente permanenterregter Gleichstrommotoren

Übersicht Mittels der Feldtheorie wird das Luftspaltfeld eines zweipoligen dauermagneterregten Gleichstrommotors unter Berücksichtigung des Läuferfeldes bestimmt. Das Anzugsmoment ergibt sich durch Integration der Tangentialkomponente der Maxwellschen Spannung über eine frei gewählte kreiszylindrische Luftspaltfläche, die den Läufer vollständig einschließt.Die numerische Auswertung zeigt den Einfluß des Polbedekkungswinkels und der Magnetisierungsart der betrachteten Magneterregersysteme auf das Anzugsmoment.

Influence of the kind of magnetisation and pole are extension on the starting torques in permanent magnet excited dc motors

Contents The field in the air gap of a two-pole permanent magnet excited dc motor is determined by means of field theory. The starting torque is obtained by integrating the tangential component of the Maxwell Stresses along an arbitrarily selected circular-cylindrical air gap surface which surrounds the rotor completely.The numerical evaluation shows the influence of pole arc extension and the kind of magnetisation of the considered magnetic field systems on the starting torque.

     

Beugung am Kegel elliptischen Querschnitts und die Sommerfeldsche Lösung des Halbebenenproblems

Übersicht In dieser Arbeit wird die Beugung am Kegel elliptischen Querschnitts behandelt. Wir leiten zwei Greensche Funktionen ab, die der Dirichlet- bzw. der Neumann-Bedingung auf dem Kegel genügen und die Ausstrahlungsbedingung erfüllen. Das Randwertproblem wird zurückgeführt auf die Lösung eines zweiparametrigen Eigenwertproblems mit zwei gekoppelten Laméschen Differentialgleichungen. Wir analysieren insbesondere die Beugung einer ebenen Welle an der sektorförmigen Fläche. Im Grenzfall eines Sektoröffnungswinkels von 180° gehen die Reihenentwicklungen unter Zuhilfenahme eines speziellen Gegenbauerschen Additionstheorems und einer erzeugenden Funktion für Besselfunktionen mit ganzzahligem und halbzahligem Index über in die Sommerfeldsche Lösung des Halbebenenproblems.

Diffraction by an elliptic cone and Sommerfeld's half-plane solution

Contents In this article we examine the diffraction by an elliptic cone. We derive two Green's functions satisfying the Dirichlet-resp. Neumann-condition on the boundary of the cone. The boundary value problem is reduced to a two-parametric eigenvalue problem with two coupled Lamé equations. We analyse the diffraction of a plane wave by a plane angular sector. In the limiting case of a sector angle of 180° the series expansions pass — using a special form of Gegenbauer's addition theorem and the generating function for Bessel functions with integral and half-integral indices — into Sommerfeld's half-plane solution.

     

Betriebsmittelbezogene Lastmodellierung in Verteilungsnetzen

Übersicht Der Betriebszustand eines Verteilungsnetzes wird durch die Strombelastung aller Betriebsmittel beschrieben. Mit Hilfe einer statischen Estimationsmethode werden aus einzelnen Messungen und der Kenntnis der Verbrauchsdaten typische Verbraucherkurven (TVK) berechnet, die das elektrische Verhalten verschiedener Verbrauchergruppen widerspiegeln. Auf dieser Basis ist eine betriebsmittelbezogene Lastmodellierung an beliebigen Betriebsmitteln in Abhängigkeit der Verbraucherzusammensetzung unter Berücksichtigung externer Einflüsse wie der Temperatur möglich. Die so gewonnenen Belastungsverläufe erlauben eine Beschreibung des Netzzustands in den Verteilungsnetzen.

Bus load modelling in distribution systems

Contents The operating state of a distribution system is determined by the bus load current. Based on individual substation measurements and the load composition typical load curves are calculated using statistical estimation theory. These typical load curves describe the electrical behaviour of the different load types (e.g. household, storage heating, commerce etc.). As soon as the typical load curves are determined it is possible to calculate the bus load current in any substation taking external influences such as temperature into consideration. The bus load current serve as load models which completely describe the operating state of the distribution system.

     

Purification and characterization of an endopeptidase from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus B14

An intracellular endopeptidase was purified from cell-free extracts of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus B14 by anion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose, hydroxyapatite chromatography, second anion exchange chromatography on Mono-Q, and metal-chelating affinity chromatography. The endopeptidase was a monomer with a molecular mass of approximately 70 kDa determined by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration. Various oligopeptides (e.g. Met-enkephalin, bradykinin) were hydrolysed by the endopeptidase. Exopeptidase activity and cleavage of dipeptides or tripeptides was not observed. The K_M value for the cleavage of Metenkephalin was 1.2 mM. Temperature and pH optima were 47 °C and pH 7.7, respectively. The endopeptidase was inhibited by the classical agents for metal-dependent (EDTA) and serine (DFP) enzymes. Activity was increased by Co²⁺ and Mg²⁺, no effect was observed with Ca²⁺. After inhibition with EDTA, enzyme activity could be restored fully by Co²⁺. Activity was inhibited by Zn²⁺, Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺ and Hg²⁺. The N-terminal sequence of the endopeptidase was determined as: H₂N-Val-Arg-Gly-Gly-Ser-Gly-Asp-Thr-Thr-Val-0H.     

Reproducibility of functional transcranial Doppler sonography in determining hemispheric language lateralization

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Since functional transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (fTCD) allows convenient and fully automated quantification of language lateralization, it seems ideal for longitudinal studies of perfusion changes during deterioration as well as recovery of language functions. However, during serial examinations, the technical, stochastic, and physiological variabilities of cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFV) have to be considered. Therefore, before fTCD is accepted as a tool for evaluation of changes in lateralization in the diseased state, its reliability in healthy subjects needs to be determined. METHODS: We performed fTCD during a word generation task based on a previously validated technique with automated calculation of the averaged CBFV differences in the middle cerebral arteries providing an index of lateralization (LI). RESULTS: (1) The accuracy of the LI as assessed by the confidence interval was better than 1% of the mean hemispheric difference. (2) On repeated examination, LIs obtained from 10 subjects showed a high test-retest reproducibility (Pearson product moment correlation coefficient r = 0.95, P < 0.0001). (3) On 10 repeated assessments of LI in the same subject, no practice effects were detected. CONCLUSIONS: Functional TCD is a suitable and very robust tool for the longitudinal quantitative measurement of cerebral language lateralization.
