  • Publication number: 20150001981
    Abstract: In the regions around a magnetic shielding space, curved portions and having a rounded shape, which protrude toward the interior space of a magnetic shielding space, are formed at ends of a first side and a second side close to a first end and a second end of an outer-periphery side. In the vicinity of angular portions and of the magnetic shielding space that are positioned at both ends of the outer-periphery side, the magnetic flux density for a given cross-sectional area of a channel through which a short-circuit magnetic flux flows is reduced, and thus, the level of the short-circuit magnetic flux is reduced.

  • Patent number: 8851259
    Abstract: When grooves 44, 45A and 45B of an armature 42 and a rotor 43 are formed by laser beam machining, a metal oxide layer 100 is formed on wall surfaces defining the grooves 44, 45A and 45B. The metal oxide layer 100 is brought into sliding contact with a first contact surface A1 to a fourth contact surface A4 in a process in which an electromagnetic clutch is used, so that a part of the metal oxide layer 100 is ground and peeled off, whereby particles made of a metal oxide are produced. The particles enter the contact surface between the armature 42 and the rotor 43, which increases the frictional force therebetween to thereby prevent slippage. As a result, the torque transmission capability of the electromagnetic clutch M is enhanced, and the increase in the torque of a scroll compressor is achieved.

  • Patent number: 8479390
    Abstract: A method for producing a connector has first to fifth processes. In the first process, a contact unit having a plurality of contacts and a tying part, is formed with the contacts tied at each axial direction middle part of the contacts by the tying part and with the contacts arranged parallel to each other. In the second process, a plating layer is formed on a part of the contact unit by soaking the contact unit in a plating bath from an axial direction one end side of the contact unit to an axial direction middle part of the tying part. In the third process, the contacts are isolated by cutting the tying part. In the fourth process, a part where the plating layer is formed, of the contact is inserted into a hole of a circuit board. In the fifth process, the contacts are soldered to the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 8270367
    Abstract: A mobile communication system 100 according to the present invention comprises handover control apparatus 1 and radio terminal unit 10. The handover control apparatus 1 controls handover of a radio terminal unit 10 between access routers 31-34 provided in respective base stations 21-24 for radio communication with the radio terminal unit 10. The handover control apparatus 1 counts the number of relay routers for every candidate access router 32-34 for a destination of the radio terminal unit 10, from a gateway device 52 and determines a COR on the basis of the number of relay routers for every access router 32, 33, 34 thus counted.
