Chorus Motors plc Announces High Torque Chorus Motor Patent.Business Editors & Automotive Writers GIBRALTAR--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 8, 2002 Chorus Motors plc, a subsidiary of Borealis Exploration Limited Borealis Exploration Ltd. is a Gibraltar-based research and development company that owns subsidiaries dealing with materials and power transfer. The company considers itself a virtual company, and is publicly traded. (BOREF), announces that a patent, titled "Polyphase Pol´y`phase a. 1. (Elec.) Having or producing two or more phases; multiphase; as, a polyphase machine, a machine producing two or more pressure waves of electro-motive force, differing in phase; a Induction Electrical Rotating Machine", No. 6,351,095, was issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office The United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO or USPTO) is an agency in the United States Department of Commerce that provides patent protection to inventors and businesses for their inventions, and trademark registration for product and intellectual property on February 26th, 2002. Further patent applications related to the Chorus(R) technology and polyphase motors are pending. The Chorus(R) Motor uses new controllers and windings to substantially increase the efficiency of AC motors. For more information about Chorus(R) see the Chorus Motors plc web site at www.chorusmotors.gi. The new patent and other issued Chorus(R) patents are available on the web site. Characteristics of the Chorus(R) Motor include very high start-up torque and greater efficiency, within standard operating temperature limits. Tests have shown marked improvements over conventional AC motors. Chorus(R) Motors are especially well-suited to traction applications, such as hoists, conveyors, electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. The patent describes a new type of AC induction motor Induction motor An alternating-current motor in which the currents in the secondary winding (usually the rotor) are created solely by induction. These currents result from voltages induced in the secondary by the magnetic field of the primary winding (usually that can be operated at high saturation levels, substantially beyond those associated with conventional AC motors. The Chorus(R) motor also allows high flux densities flux density n. The rate of flow of fluid, particles, or energy per unit area. , which greatly enhances the power output when operated under saturation. This in turn leads to the very high start-up torque characteristic of Chorus(R) drives. Isaiah W. Cox, President of Chorus Motors plc, says "This patent extends our very broad coverage of the Chorus family of motor drive technologies. The benefits of very high start-up torque to industry are numerous - for example, traction motors A traction motor is a type of electric motor used to power the driving wheels of a vehicle such as a railroad locomotive, electrical multi-unit train (such as a subway or light rail vehicle train), a tram, or an automobile. may be sized closer to the optimum size for continuous running, while still retaining the necessary output torque for frequent starting and stopping under load." Borealis Exploration Limited has 4,959,262 shares issued and outstanding. Borealis' business is reinventing the core technologies used by basic industries, including electric motors, steelmaking, electrical power generation, and cooling and refrigeration refrigeration, process for drawing heat from substances to lower their temperature, often for purposes of preservation. Refrigeration in its modern, portable form also depends on insulating materials that are thin yet effective. .
