46425020, Feb 10, 1987

Filed:

Apr 24, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/855344

Inventors:

Keith H. Carpenter - Kettering OH
Jon E. Miller - Spring Valley OH
John W. Murphy - Kettering OH

Assignee:

General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI

International Classification:

H02K 118

US Classification:

310156

Abstract:

A dynamoelectric machine has a rotor or stator which comprises a core with axial groups of flat, rectangular magnet mounting surfaces, each successive magnet mounting surface of a group being circumferentially offset by a common angle of axial rotation from the previous magnet mounting surface. A magnet is mounted on each magnet mounting surface; and each magnet has a flat surface for mounting and an opposing arcuate surface to help form a cylindrical surface. Each of the magnets has the shape, when viewed radially, of a parallelogram forming a skew angle with the axis corresponding with the rotational offset of the magnet mounting surfaces to define skewed slots between skewed magnetic poles extending the substantial axial length of the core. The core may comprise polygonal lamina with the flat polygon sides grouped to form the magnet mounting surfaces; or it may comprise circular lamina with a non-magnetic sleeve having the magnet mounting surfaces. The latter provides a larger but more even air gap.

Abstract:

Proliferative skin diseases such as psoriasis are treated by topically administering cAMP analogs of the following formula to the afflicted skin site at a dose that preferentially and significantly activates type II protein kinase: ##STR1## where: R. sub. 6 is: (i) --NR. sub. 1 R. sub. 2 where R. sub. 1 and R. sub. 2 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and cyclopentyl or are joined together with the nitrogen atom to form a hetrocyclic group having 4 to 5, inclusive, annular carbon atoms with the proviso that the total number of carbon atoms in the --NR. sub. 1 R. sub. 2 group is 4 or 5, or (ii) --XR where X is a chalcogen atom of atomic number 8 or 16 and R is alkyl of 4 or 5 carbon atoms, R. sub. 8 is: (i) --X--(CH. sub. 2). sub. n R. sub. 3 where X is defined previously, n is an integer in the range of 1 to 3, inclusive, R. sub.

Appl. No.:

7/353412

Inventors:

Jon E. Miller - Spring Valley OH
Donald E. Schenk - Vandalia OH

Assignee:

General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI

International Classification:

F16D 65853

US Classification:

188264CC

Abstract:

A vehicle wheel and rotor assembly is provided for use with a vehicle having a disc-type brake. The assembly includes a wheel for threaded connection with an axle and a rotor. The rotor has a core section joined to an annular ring section and the core section has apertures aligned for threadably joining the rotor to the wheel. Heat pipes are embedded within said rotor core. The heat pipes provide a heat sink for the annular ring section of the rotor causing a fluid within the heat pipe to vaporize on an end of the heat pipes more adjacent to the annular ring section and to condense on an end of the heat pipe more adjacent to the wheel to transfer heat from the annular ring to the wheel.

International Classification:

F15B 910

US Classification:

91373

Abstract:

The invention provides a brake booster including in a preferred embodiment a housing, first and second annular flexible diaphragms spaced from one another forming a sealed second chamber within the housing and a sealed first chamber between the first diaphragm and the first end of the housing, a generally annular shaped power piston for connection with the master cylinder piston, a chamber valve seat separating the first and second chambers, an inlet valve slidably mounted within the power piston, and a control valve spring biased away from the power piston and connected with the pedal linkage and being slidably and sealably mounted within first end of the housing.
