  • Publication number: 20150213940
    Abstract: A static apparatus is provided in which a partial discharge, if occurred in a winding end portion, is unlikely to lead to insulation breakdown. The windings and core of a static apparatus are housed in a tank filled with coolant. The winding is fixed by upper and lower parts supporting winding. A continuous coolant duct is formed in a section embracing the winding and the upper and lower parts supporting winding. A coolant duct from the wiring, extending through the upper or lower parts supporting winding and connected with the coolant space is configured in a structure in which toroidal ducts in multiple tiers are connected in a vertical direction of the winding. Connecting holes of one toroidal duct and of its next toroidal duct are staggered with respect to each other and spaced at intervals which are longer than the width of the toroidal ducts.

  • Patent number: 7448760
    Abstract: An optical system that projects projection light from an image generating device, onto a screen is provided. The optical system comprises: a lens system on which the projection light from the image generating device is incident; and an aspherical mirror with negative power as a whole that is disposed on an optical path between the lens system and the screen, wherein a curvature of the aspherical mirror in the radial direction changes positive to negative on a way from a center to a periphery thereof.

  • Patent number: 7119966
    Abstract: A projection lens system that projects projection light from a light modulator onto a screen and which is telecentric on an input side is provided. The projection lens system comprises a first meniscus lens that is disposed closest to the screen, is convex on a screen side, and has negative refractive power; and a second meniscus lens that is disposed next closest to the screen, is convex on a screen side, and has negative refractive power. The first meniscus lens is made of plastic and at least one out of two curved surfaces thereof is aspherical, and a refractive power of the first meniscus lens is lower than a refractive power of the second meniscus lens. In the projection lens system, far superior aberration-correcting performance can be achieved and a drop in aberration-correcting performance due to thermal deformation can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 6137638
    Abstract: A projection zoom lens system of the present invention having telecentric incident side is suitable for a projector apparatus using LCD or DMD with prism. The projection zoom lens system of this invention comprises five lens groups having, from the screen side, negative, positive, positive, negative and positive power. In addition to this arrangement, since the lens located closest to the screen is a screen side convex negative meniscus lens, wide-angled and bright zoom lens system can be realized. Further, by designing the distribution of power of the first lens group located closest to the screen, the projection zoom lens provides further improved aberration correction. As the condition for realizing the aforementioned projection zoom lens system, it is preferable that a focal length f1 of the first lens group and a focal length at a wide-angle end fw satisfy the following condition:-1.9<f1/fw<-0.9 (A).

  • Patent number: 4073573
    Abstract: In a zoom lens system in which all or some of the lens components excluding the front fixed lens component are axially moved for taking a close-up photograph, a focusing lens group is axially moved in response to movement of a zooming lens group to maintain the resultant image position always in a stationary image plane. The interconnection between the focusing lens and the zooming lens is made through a mechanical or electrical control means which controls the movement of the focusing lens with reference to the movement of the zooming lens in accordance with a predetermined relationship therebetween.
