  • Patent number: 10367398
    Abstract: A double-stator switched reluctance motor includes an annular rotor, an outer stator disposed outside the rotor, and an inner stator disposed inside the rotor. Phases of the salient poles in a rotational direction of the rotor are different from each other in at least one of a set of first stator salient poles and second stator salient poles and a set of first rotor salient poles and second rotor salient poles.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4975260
    Abstract: Metal nitride powder is prepared by heating a mixture substantially containing powder of a metal oxide or a metal hydroxide in a mixed gas of ammonia gas (NH.sub.3) and a hydrocarbon gas (CmHn) at a temperature ranging from 1300.degree. C. to 1,600.degree. C., in which the mixed gas has a ratio of ammonia gas (NH.sub.3) to hydrocarbon gas (CmHn) translated into CH.sub.4, ranging from 10 (NH.sub.3) to 1.0 (CH.sub.4) to 2,000 (NH.sub.3) to 1 (CH.sub.4), by volume.The metal nitride powder contains lesser amounts of oxygen and carbon.

  • Patent number: 4609347
    Abstract: A walking beam type heating furnace for steels has a conventional skid pipe through which a coolant flows, a skid button made of a ceramic material, a base fixed to an upper portion of the skid pipe, an attachment frame attached to the base for holding the skid button in its supporting position, and a thermal insulating material placed at a bottom portion of the skid button for supporting the skid button. The thermal insulating material has a high strength, high density, low thermal conductivity and high coefficient of thermal expansion such as quartz glass, vycol glass, hard glass and soda lime glass.
