  • Patent number: 11691743
    Abstract: A propulsion device includes: a duct in which a flow path extending in a direction of an axis; a fan which is provided with a) an outer peripheral ring formed in an annular shape surrounding the axis and installed to be relatively rotatable around the axis with respect to the duct, b) a plurality of fan blades arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction such that each blade is extended from the outer peripheral ring toward the inside of the flow path, and c) an inner peripheral ring formed in an annular shape being connected radially inner end portions of the plurality of fan blades and in which an air flow passage is formed so that air flows therethrough in the direction of the axis; and a motor which drives the fan to rotate around the axis.

  • Patent number: 11591056
    Abstract: A marine vessel capable of improving propulsion efficiency for the entire operation of the marine vessel. In the marine vessel, which includes a hull and a propeller provided on a stern side of the hull, n2D/?(Bd) is 4 or more and 35 or less, in a case where n is the number of the propeller, D is a diameter of the propeller, B is a water line breadth of the hull, and d is a draft of the hull.

  • Publication number: 20220315185
    Abstract: A fluid machine includes: a shaft portion extending in an axis direction; a shroud provided to surround the shaft portion and having a diameter decreasing from an upstream side on one side in the axis direction toward a downstream side on another side in the axis direction, a flow path being formed between the shroud and the shaft portion and having a flow path cross-sectional area decreasing toward the downstream side; a propeller rotatably provided about an axis between the shaft portion and the shroud and configured to pump a fluid from the upstream side toward the downstream side; and a motor provided to correspond to the propeller, the motor including a rotor having a ring-like shape and being fixed to an outer circumference portion of the propeller and accommodated in the shroud and a stator having a ring-like shape surrounding the rotor and being fixed in the shroud, in which the motor is a conical motor in which diameters of the rotor and the stator decrease from the upstream side toward the downstrea

  • Publication number: 20070250854
    Abstract: A view controller for controlling view is described on meta data and a view history (log) of a viewer recorded at the reception side is used to judge whether the condition of the view controller is satisfied. When the condition is satisfied, the view of the received content is permitted. Moreover, the view controller controls not only the view history (log) of the viewer stored before the content is received but also the view of another content during or after the content view. Thus, it is possible to perform view control to enforce the content right information and reflect the intention of the content creator.
