`U.S. Patent No. 7,928,348: Claim 24
`"a) an electromagnetic field-functioning device having a magnetically inducible core"
`
`The Aisin Pump comprises an electromagnetic field-functioning device having a magnetically inducible core.
`
`For example, the Aisin Pump contains a stator assembly comprising poles with wire windings wrapped around said poles.
`The poles, combined with an electric input, create a rotating magnetic field containing moving polarities within the core. At
`least one (permanent) magnet is contained within a rotor, which sits in the middle of the stator assembly (i.e., the core). The
`rotor screws into a molded space in the monolithic body of the motor of the Aisin Pump, such space being located in the
`middle of the stator assembly, or within the core. This location situates the magnet within the core of the stator assembly, in
`the center of the poles with copper wire windings wrapped around them. An electric input provides a charge to these
`windings (conductors), which then allows the polarity of the poles to change. The magnet then rotates with the changing
`polarities of the poles.
`
`Pictured below is the rotor. The magnetic properties of the magnet within are displayed by the attraction of a metal object to
`the magnet:

`
`The rotor of the motor of the Aisin Pump spins during motor operation due to a magnet located within the rotor. The rotor
`sits in the middle of the stator assembly of the motor (e.g., the core), screwed into a molded space in the monolithic body of

`fan that spins during motor operation is opposite the fluid pathway in the monolithic body, thereby forcing fluid to follow the
`fluid pathway during motor operation. The image below shows inside the monolithic body of thermoplastic material; during
`motor operation the two pieces are attached, with the fan fitting into the circular indentation of the fluid pathway.
