Compatible permanent magnet or reluctance brushless motors and controlled switch circuits

TLDR
Brushless motors have physical and electrical characteristics to be compatible with energization by the simple square or stepped wave voltages easily produced with inverter type motor control circuits having a small number of controlled switches responsive to a rotor position sensor as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
Brushless motors have physical and electrical characteristics to be compatible with energization by the simple square or stepped wave voltages easily produced with inverter type motor control circuits having a small number of controlled switches responsive to a rotor position sensor. These motors employ a few pairs of opposing non-distributed stator windings arranged overlapping or non-overlapping with a predetermined winding pitch, and a constant gap magnetically polarized or non-polarized rotor with pole faces having related angular dimensions, to thereby produce rectilinear back emf voltages with approximately the same wave shape as the energizing voltages. The circuits can control the applied voltage to adjust motor speed.

Electronically commutated reluctance motor

TL;DR: In this paper, the stator is constructed without low reluctance paths between adjacent pairs of stator poles and each pair of poles is polarized to form poles of opposite polarity such that a magnetic circuit joins the two adjacent poles of the pair.

Electrodynamic system comprising a variable reluctance machine

John Byrne, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a stepping motor with variable speed operation (motors or generators) is proposed, which is made viable by simplification and gain in specific output and efficiency which results from constructions ensuring maximum saturation of magnetic flux at the stator pole faces.
