Methods and apparatus are provided for generating an inductively coupled plasma using induced eddy currents. An inductively coupled plasma source of the invention generally comprises a body constructed substantially of a conductive material interrupted by at least one dielectric gap. Radio frequency power is coupled from a current carrier into the conductive body. The one or more dielectric interruptions in the conductive body are disposed so as to cause eddy currents to circulate about portions of the body and thereby couple RF power into a plasma in proximity to the conductive body. By utilizing induced eddy currents to couple power into a plasma, the invention allows for substantial bodies of conductive materials, such as structural metals, to be interposed between the induction coils that receive power from a power generator and the plasma.

A lamp reflector having a reflector body enclosing an inner space, whose peripheral wall forms a lateral surface of a geometrical body with a longitudinal axis. The reflector body has a light exit opening and a base section opposite thereto. The peripheral wall is formed by a wall section forming the base section, and, extending therefrom in the direction of the light exit opening, by circumferential adjacent segments that are separated by slots. The segments are secured to the perimeter of the reflector body via a holding ring that encloses it. On their free ends, the segments have outward angled flange sections that jointly form a circumferential flange rim. In its mounting position, the holding ring is adjacent to the flange rim and is at least force-fitted to the flange rim.

The invention relates to an electric motor (100) for driving an ABB system in a motor vehicle. The electric motor comprises a permanently-excited inner rotor (120) and an outer stator (150). The outerstator (150) has at least twelve stator teeth (S1-12). The inner rotor (12) has poles (P1-10) with a preset number, which are spaced from one another uniformly on the circumferential side. The numberof the poles is corresponding to a number obtained by subtracting integer multiples of two from the number of the stator teeth (S1-12) and the poles (P1-10) which are spaced from one another uniformly on the circumferential side are constructed like spokes for concentrating corresponding magnetic flux.
