Abstract: A stator for a rotating electric machine includes a stator core and a stator coil. The stator core is formed of a band-shaped steel sheet that is helically bent and laminated. The stator core has slots each opening at an inner periphery of the stator core and spaced from one another in a circumferential direction. The stator coil is formed of electrical conductor segments that are inserted in the slots of the stator core and connected with one another. The band-shaped steel sheet has slits each of which is formed, at a position corresponding to one of the slots, to be open to the corresponding slot. Each of the electrical conductor segments is substantially U-shaped and has a pair of leg portions respectively inserted in corresponding two of the slots of the stator core; the corresponding two slots are circumferentially apart from each other by two or more slot-pitches.

Abstract: The purpose of the present disclosure is to improve the dynamic range of an image sensor including a polarization pixel. The image sensor includes: a high-sensitivity pixel group; and a low-sensitivity pixel group. The high-sensitivity pixel group included in the image sensor includes a plurality of high-sensitivity pixels. The low-sensitivity pixel group included in the image sensor includes a plurality of low-sensitivity pixels. A polarization unit that causes incident light in a predetermined polarization direction to be transmitted therethrough is disposed in part of pixels of at least the high-sensitivity pixel group, of the high-sensitivity pixel group and the low-sensitivity pixel group.
