  • Publication number: 20190312476
    Abstract: Provided is a motor having an increased output. The motor includes: an armature including a plurality of non-wound teeth and a plurality of wound teeth having windings wound thereon, the teeth being circumferentially alternately arranged about an axis; and a field magnet including a plurality of magnets arranged side by side circumferentially so as to oppose one of an inner or an outer periphery of the armature, the field magnet being supported about the axis so as to be rotatable relative to the armature. The field magnet is provided with rotating force by sequentially switching a magnetic flux that flows through the non-wound teeth and the wound teeth due to energization of the windings of the armature. The wound teeth include a proximal-end portion having a circumferential width greater than a circumferential width of a proximal-end portion of the non-wound teeth.

  • Patent number: 8653518
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a floating gate structure in which charge storage layers are stacked on a SiO2 layer formed on a substrate made of n-type Si. The charge storage layer has quantum dots made of undoped Si and an oxide layer that covers the quantum dots. The charge storage layer has quantum dots made of n+-Si and an oxide layer that covers the quantum dots. Electrons originally existing in the quantum dots migrate between the quantum dots and the quantum dots via tunnel junction and are distributed in the quantum dots and/or the quantum dots according to the voltage applied to a gate electrode via pads. The distribution is detected in the form of a current (ISD).

  • Patent number: 7942648
    Abstract: Lifetime required of mobile-use fuel cells is secured and prolonged, stabilized pump performance is maintained by preventing bearing seizure and abnormal wear. The shaft (101) of a pump mechanism section (100) and the shaft (201) of a motor section (200) are integrated, and the shafts (101, 201) are supported by two or more ball bearings disposed in the pump mechanism section (100), thereby making it possible to fill grease in the closed spaces of the ball bearings (300), and secure a sufficient lifetime basically with almost no possibility of the grease leaking out, even if it is used at a relatively high environmental temperature.

  • Patent number: 7836592
    Abstract: A method of producing a connecting rod with a bearing, in which both a process for producing a bearing separately from a connecting rod and a process for assembling the bearing to the connecting rod can be eliminated to reduce processes, labor, and costs to produce the connecting rod. A hollow cylindrical molding of a bearing metal material is inserted and fitted, as an inner member, inside an inner surface of a circular large end hole of a large end section of a connecting rod. A tapered surface of a rotary pressing tool is pressed, while rotating, to the hollow cylindrical molding to heat and soften the hollow cylindrical molding, causing the hollow cylindrical molding of the bearing metal material to plastically flow axially and radially outward, whereby a bearing metal layer is directly joined and formed on the inner surface of the large end hole.
