Patent number: 11682936Abstract: Provided is a motor capable of suppressing reduction of the torque of the motor even if the amount of use of the permanent magnets embedded in the rotor core is reduced. A motor includes a rotor with permanent magnets embedded in a rotor core, and a stator positioned on an outer circumference of the rotor. The rotor includes magnetic poles formed around a rotation axis of the rotor, the magnetic poles having the permanent magnets arranged therein. The permanent magnets in adjacent magnetic poles are arranged such that positions of a north pole and a south pole of the permanent magnet in one magnetic pole are inverted from those of the permanent magnet in a magnetic pole adjacent to the one magnetic pole.

Publication number: 20230180996Abstract: A controller controls an image that is captured by an image sensor of an endoscope and is displayed on the display screen of a display device. The controller includes a processor. The processor acquires a first image that is an image captured by the image sensor, detects a first angle of a surgical instrument, and generates a second image rotated with respect to the first image on the basis of the first angle and a predetermined target angle. The first angle is an angle formed by the surgical instrument in the first image with respect to a predetermined reference line that is set with respect to a plane of the first image. A second angle formed by the surgical instrument in the second image with respect to the predetermined reference line is equal to the predetermined target angle.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicants: OLYMPUS CORPORATION, National Cancer CenterInventors: Mingxuan DAI, Ryota SASAI, Hiro HASEGAWA, Daichi KITAGUCHI, Nobuyoshi TAKESHITA, Shigehiro KOJIMA, Yuki FURUSAWA, Yumi KINEBUCHI, Masaaki ITO
