Abstract: There is avoided a phenomenon where owing to an influence of a stepped portion of the surface of a helical layer positioned in an inner layer of an FRP layer, a fatigue strength of a layer (especially, a hoop layer) adjacent to the outside of the helical layer lowers. To realize this, there is disclosed a tank comprising a liner, and an FRP layer constituted of hoop layers and helical layers alternately formed by winding fiber bundles around the outer periphery of the liner, and in at least one of a plurality of helical layers positioned in an inner layer of the FRP layer, a sectional area of the fiber bundle constituting the helical layer is set to be smaller than that of the fiber bundle constituting another layer formed outside the helical layer. When the helical layer is formed by using this fiber bundle having the small sectional area, unevenness in the helical layer becomes small, and the unevenness can be prevented from being transferred to the other layer (e.g.

Abstract: Provided are a compact and low-cost motor driver circuit capable of achieving an appropriate brake time and restraining heat generated by a regenerative resistance within a specific temperature range without employing a regenerative resistance having a greater capacity, a heat sink, or a FAN generating a larger volume of air, and a vacuum pump having the motor driver circuit. Regenerative current is controlled so that a speed characteristic gradually approaches inclination “a” from inclination “b” depending on the motor speed in the initial stage of regeneration. In addition, a limit is set not to pass further current when the regenerative current reaches a maximum brake current value Iset—brake—max. As stated above, when the motor is braked, control is performed so that the initial brake current value at the maximum rated speed is set low and the brake current is increased as the rotational speed decelerates.
