  • Publication number: 20240133378
    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a housing and a compression mechanism. The compression mechanism includes a compression chamber. The housing includes an intermediate pressure chamber into which refrigerant having an intermediate pressure is introduced from an external refrigerant circuit. The intermediate pressure is higher than a suction pressure of refrigerant drawn into the compression chamber and lower than a discharge pressure of the refrigerant discharged from the compression chamber. The intermediate pressure chamber and the compression chamber in a process of compression are connected to each other by an injection passage. The injection passage includes a muffler.

  • Patent number: 9885122
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of manufacturing an N-type silicon single crystal having a resistivity of 0.05 ?cm or less and a crystal orientation of <100> by a Czochralski method, including: bringing a seed crystal into contact with a melt doped with a dopant in a crucible; forming a cone while adjusting a taper angle ? such that a ratio of the total of individual lengths of areas each having a taper angle ? ranging from 25° to 45° to length L of a cone side surface is 20% or less, where ? being formed between a growth direction of the silicon single crystal and the cone side surface when the cone is seen in a diameter direction of the silicon single crystal; and successively forming a straight body. The method can inhibit the generation of dislocations during the cone formation without reducing the yield and productivity.

  • Patent number: 9809901
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a silicon single crystal according to a Czochralski method to manufacture an N-type silicon single crystal, including the steps of: seeding to bring a seed crystal into contact with a silicon melt in a crucible and thereafter, necking to pull the seed crystal to narrow a diameter thereof, wherein a dopant concentration in the silicon melt is predicted by a difference between a temperature at the seeding and a temperature at the necking, and resistivity of the single crystal to be pulled is controlled on the basis of the predicted dopant concentration in the silicon melt. A method for manufacturing a silicon single crystal can efficiently manufacture a silicon single crystal with a desired resistivity.

  • Patent number: 9723565
    Abstract: A radio base station (1), which is to be pre-blockaded, transmits a pre-blockade initiate notification to radio base stations (2A-2F) neighboring the radio base station (1). Further, the radio base station (1) reduces the transmission power thereof at a predetermined reduction rate at a initiation time of the pre-blockade. Meanwhile, each of the radio base stations (2A-2F) receives the pre-blockade initiate notification and increases the transmission power at a predetermined increase rate at the initiation time of the pre-blockade, the absolute value of predetermined increase rate being equal to that of the predetermined reduction rate at the radio base station (1).
