  • Publication number: 20080252168
    Abstract: Sub core sections are arranged at the end portions and the center portion of a stator core, and strand conductors are twisted and transposed by 360 degrees continuously toward the extending direction of winding slot. The length corresponding to transposition pitch 180 degrees of the strand conductors of the stator core is set as one core unit area, the sub core sections including portions whose space factors are different are arranged such that the sum of voltages in the strands induced in the strand conductors in the odd-numbered core unit area from one end portion of the stator core offsets the sum of voltages in the strands induced in the strand conductors in the even-numbered core unit area from the end portion of the core.

  • Publication number: 20080168508
    Abstract: To compensate a failure in downloading of music piece data. For example, when a viewer instructs purchase of a music piece C to an IRD at a timing t0 during the sixth transmission of music piece data, the music piece data to be transmitted for the seventh time immediately after the instruction is usually downloaded. When the downloading of the music piece data transmitted for the seventh time fails for some reason, downloading is re-executed on music piece data to be transmitted for the eighth time. The music piece data for the final transmission time in each of musical pieces is used for re-execution. Timing at which downloading of the music piece data transmitted for the time immediately preceding the final time can be instructed is set as purchase limit time by using elapsed time since program start time.
