Abstract: According to the present invention, a variable delay circuit includes a delay circuit unit group, a control unit and an offset delay amount memory group. The delay circuit unit group includes a plurality of delay circuit units, and the plurality of delay circuit units includes two paths having different delay amounts. The offset delay amount memory group includes a plurality of offset delay amount memories, and offset delay amounts corresponding to delay amounts of the first paths of the corresponding delay circuit units are set in the plurality of offset delay amount memories. The control unit includes a plurality of subtracting units, and the plurality of subtracting units select paths of the delay circuit units through which an input signal may pass by using a delay setting value and offset delay amounts. It is possible to reduce volume of the circuit and remove a table since the path is selected by calculation.

Abstract: A permanent magnet type rotating electrical machine characterized by reduced vibration and noise, or improved efficiency. In a permanent magnet type rotating electrical machine comprising a stator 10 provided with concentrated winding and a rotor with permanent magnets 24 embedded in the rotor core 21, induced voltage waveform is improved by formation of two grooves or holes (flux barriers) extending in the axial direction for each magnetic pole on the bridge 25 of the core between the permanent magnet insertion hole 23 and the outer surface of rotor 20 in such a way that they are placed at an equally spaced interval over the entire circumference of the rotor 20.
