  • Publication number: 20220106935
    Abstract: At least one of nozzle holes is provided as a non-circular nozzle hole where the ratio of the longest diameter to the shortest diameter of an outlet opening portion is greater than 1. A virtual non-circular cone and a virtual circular cone are defined for each of the non-circular nozzle hole and a circular nozzle hole where the ratio of the longest diameter to the shortest diameter of the outlet opening portion is 1. At least two adjacent nozzle holes are formed such that the virtual non-circular cone does not interfere with the virtual circular cone or the virtual non-circular cone.

  • Publication number: 20200102922
    Abstract: A needle has a seal portion that contacts a valve seat, and is provided so as to be able to reciprocate inside a valve body. A sack chamber is formed between the seal portion and a recess. A seal portion is formed in a curved shape protruding in the axial direction of the needle. A distance between an inlet intersection and a needle intersection on a same virtual straight line is defined as a distance Dh, and a distance between the recess and the seal portion on an axis of the valve body is defined as a distance Ds. When the seal portion is in contact with the valve seat, the distance Dh is larger than the distance Ds (Dh>Ds).

  • Patent number: 9972679
    Abstract: To provide a semiconductor device having improved performances. A semiconductor substrate has, in the surface layer portion thereof, an n+ type semiconductor region for source and an n+ type semiconductor region for drain separated from each other. The semiconductor substrate has, on the main surface thereof between the n+ type semiconductor region for source and the n+ type semiconductor region for drain, a gate electrode via an insulating film as a gate insulating film. The semiconductor substrate has, in the main surface thereof between the channel formation region below the gate electrode and the n+ type semiconductor region for drain, a LOCOS oxide film and an STI insulating. Of the LOCOS oxide film and the STI insulating film, the LOCOS oxide film is located on the side of the channel formation region and the STI insulating film is on the side of the n+ type semiconductor region DR for drain.

  • Patent number: 5285123
    Abstract: A turbo-generator has a tapering cooling part positioned between a vapor turbine part and a generator part, and casings of these parts are combined together to form a sealed single-boundary structure. A turbine shaft in the vapor turbine part, a rotary shaft in the cooling part and a generator shaft in the generator part are combined unitarily and are supported by bearing parts in such a way that the unitary shaft does not pass from the boundary structure. The tapering cooling part has a smaller diameter at the side of the generator part, and the inner circumferential surface of the cooling part forms a labyrinth structure to separate the atmospheres of the vapor turbine part and the generator part.
