  • Patent number: 10637306
    Abstract: A stator for a simultaneous concentrated winding motor includes a core having 3×m teeth, and 3×m windings. The windings include at least a U1 winding and a U2 winding that belong to a U phase, a V1 winding and a V2 winding that belong to a V phase, and a W1 winding and a W2 winding that belong to a W phase. First lead wires of the U1 winding, the V1 winding, and the W1 winding extend, respectively, from the teeth on which the U1 winding, the V1 winding, and the W1 winding are arranged. First lead wires of the U2 winding, the V2 winding, and the W2 winding extend, respectively, from the teeth on which the U1 winding, the V1 winding, and the W1 winding are arranged.

  • Patent number: 9991756
    Abstract: A stator for a motor of a compressor includes a stator core, insulator, coil, slot insulator, and inter-coil insulator. The stator core has a plurality of tooth portions arrayed circumferentially. The insulator is fitted to axial end faces of the stator core. The coil is wound on the tooth portions. The slot insulator is placed within slot portions that are spaces between circumferentially neighboring ones of the tooth portions, and which are interposed between the stator core and the coil. The inter-coil insulator is placed between circumferentially mutually neighboring windings of the coil. The inter-coil insulator is sheet shaped and folded over a width equal to double a sheet thickness at a folding-bottom portion extending along an axial direction. The folding-bottom portion is positioned on a distal end side of the tooth portions. Movement of the folding-bottom portion in a radial direction toward the rotor is restricted.

  • Patent number: 8796194
    Abstract: The lubricating oil composition of the invention includes a lubricating base oil with a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 1-6 mm2/s, a % Cp of 70 or greater and a % CA of no greater than 2, and a viscosity index improver which, when added to the lubricating base oil, results in an A/B ratio of less than 3.2 and a C/B ratio of less than 1.5. A is the thickening effect on the kinematic viscosity at 100° C., B is the thickening effect on the HTHS viscosity at 150° C., and C is the thickening effect on the HTHS viscosity at 100° C.

  • Patent number: 8137766
    Abstract: A homeotropic alignment liquid crystal film is provided with a liquid crystalline substance containing a side chain liquid crystalline compound having an oxetanyl group, as a constituent, aligned homeotropically on an alignment substrate while being in a liquid crystal state and fixed in the homeotropic alignment by allowing the oxetanyl group to react. Thus, the homeotropic alignment liquid crystal film can be stably produced without necessitating a complicated step such as light irradiation under an inert gas atmosphere and is excellent in alignment retainability after being fixed in the homeotropic alignment and in mechanical strength.
