Abstract: A compressor is having a tubular vertical shaft, which rotates about its vertical axis, a cylinder block for supporting the tubular vertical shaft, a rotor for driving the rotation of the tubular vertical shaft, and a stator affixed to the cylinder block. Lubricant is channelled from the lower end of the tubular vertical shaft through an inlet of its interior path to the outlet. A magnet is disposed within the interior path to trap ferrous contaminants in the lubricant before the lubricant is distributed to other parts of the compressor.

Abstract: There is provided a bellows for a pressure vessel that would not rupture due to thermal expansion and contraction, avoiding stagnation of a raw material. The bellows 40 for a pressure vessel is adapted to realize ring-shaped sealing between an open end 11 of a bottomed tubular vessel body 10 into which a raw material is caused to flow, and an outer peripheral portion of a dispersion board 30 closing the open end 11 so as to permit downflow of the raw material toward the bottom of the vessel body 10. The bellows 40 is provided with a flexure portion 41 flexing radially so as to permit thermal expansion and contraction without being depressed for avoiding of stagnation of the raw material. The flexure portion 41 has a concave curved surface 42 and a convex curved surface 43 which are continuously formed to have a wave shape.

Abstract: A method for identifying damaged parts of a vehicle, including those inside the body, in a prompt and accurate manner. The method measures the position of a transmitter attached at a predetermined point of a vehicle under test, by processing a transmitter signal received by a plurality of receivers (step S1). The displacement of the transmitter is then calculated by comparing the measured position of the transmitter with its corresponding reference position (step S2). Here, the reference position refers to the ideal position at which the transmitter is supposed to be when it is assumed that the vehicle is in normal state. The method then identifies damaged parts around the transmitter, based on the displacement (step S3).
