Abstract: An attachment structure for a pressure detector that is such that the pressure detector is attached in an airtight manner within an insertion hole of an attachment tool main body attached to a mechanical device or pipelines, with a pipe, a gasket presser, a gasket, a split ring, and a bonnet. The configuration is such that the gasket presser and the split ring are inserted into the insertion hole of the attachment tool main body, the bonnet is inserted into the insertion hole, the bonnet is fastened to the attachment tool main body side, the gasket presser and the gasket are pressed by the split ring, and sealing portions are formed between the bottom surface of the insertion hole and one end surface of the gasket and between the tip end surface of the gasket restraint and the other end surface of the gasket.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a CPAP apparatus, and obtains compatibility between convenience of handling and easing of loads to a patient is obtained in a high order. An air blowing unit 10 including a fan provided with an air dynamic bearing, and a hose connecting the air blowing unit with a nasal cannula or a mask 200 are included, and the air blowing unit 10 is supported at a position away from a head 310 of a patient 300 by other than the hose 20, and the hose 20 follows changing of posture of the patient 300, and the air blowing unit 10 changes a position or a posture thereof by receiving a force via the hose 20.

Abstract: In a gas dynamic pressure bearing mechanism (1) for smoothing rotary motion of a shaft (10) by feeding gas to the bearing clearance between the shaft (10) and a fixed sleeve (20) for supporting the shaft (10) through a herring bone groove (10a), the herring bone groove (10a) is provided in the shaft (10) such that pressure distribution generated in the bearing clearance moves at a high speed. The herring bone groove (10a) consists of N grooves such that N minimal pressure values appearing alternately with maximal pressure values at the positions where the maximal pressure values of dynamic pressure variation appear in the bearing clearance when the shaft (10) rotates have such an interval as it becomes lower than the condensation pressure value.

Abstract: The air blower includes a case body having an air suction mouth and an outlet formed at a peripheral wall thereof; a motor which is installed into the case body, having a fluid dynamic bearing; and an impeller which is fixed to a rotation member of the motor, having a plurality of blade support plates, which is formed in the shape of a ring, capable of suctioning air from the air suction mouth by rotating and discharging from the outlet, provided at an upper and lower surfaces thereof, equalizing the difference in pressure between the upper and lower surfaces thereof. Therefore, it can rotate at a high speed, blow in under high pressure at large air volume even though it has small size and is economical and long-lived.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes the characteristics of the fluid dynamic bearing and can prevent the movement of the impeller so as to hit the case body by rotating certainly, since the blower motor in the present invention includes the case body having the intake formed at the cover which is formed, at least, at the one side and the exhaust formed at the peripheral wall; the motor with the fluid dynamic bearing, installing in the interior or exterior portion of the case body; the impeller which is fixed to the rotating member of the motor so as to locate at the outer circumferential part of the motor or the above-mentioned interior portion of the case body of the motor, having the cover plate which is formed at the either of the upper surface or lower surface, or the both surfaces, and capable of sucking in air from the intake by rotating and discharging from the exhaust by rotating; the upper and lower pressure chamber which adds pressure so as to press the impeller to the thrust direction, installed between
