Higher torques can be achieved by increasing the number of magnetic poles. maxon EC-4pole motors are a first step toward multipole motors. In this case, additional magnetic poles also mean a more complex design and assembly. Conventional brushless DC motors with a slotted iron core are often designed with multiple poles and, as a result, tend to provide lower speeds at higher torques.

“Mr. Kim’s message is directed as much to the United States as to his people, experts in North Korean politics said, since his pledge to deliver economic prosperity depends on persuading Washington to ease damaging international sanctions.” NYT

The tradition of black powder, the earliest known chemical explosive, goes back to ninth century China, where it was invented by Taoist monks and alchemists experimenting with medical concoctions. Their mixing of sulfur, charcoal and potassium nitrate (saltpeter) was the basis for gunpowder, fireworks and rock-quarry blasting powder, too. Before they made the first firearms, they made flamethrowers, rockets, grenades, bombs and landmines using the black powder.

Every year ASUS designers, engineers, and other experts gather for brainstorming sessions that inspire the next generation of products from the Republic of Gamers. The idea for the ROG Mothership came out of one of those meetings almost three years ago. It was clear that high-performance laptops were starved for airflow because they draw from a narrow gap between the base and the desk, and ASUS wondered how much the situation could be improved by putting key components behind the display, allowing greater airflow from the back. From tests conducted, core temperatures were much cooler with the standing orientation, which validated the idea and spawned Project Mothership to pursue it.

…no mention of Linux/*BSD drivers. I can understand them wanting to get their host controller into shipping products before the competition does, but how soon can we expect some documentation? In other words, how friendly is NEC Electronics with the FOSS community?
