Abstract: The torque characteristic is improved using a magnetic flux efficiently, and an eddy-current loss generated in a coil is reduced. Moreover, a loss is suppressed even if a metal member having a high thermal conductivity is closely disposed or closely contacted to a coil surface exposed by a variable magnetic field to improve the heat transfer property, thereby improving the cooling capability. A coil assembly for a rotational electric apparatus has first and second coil plates having wiring patterns formed in such a way that conductive coil segments adjoin with each other via slits, magnetic-flux-transfer-member slots formed in the slits and having a wider width than such slits, a coil constituted by the stacked coil plates so that the magnetic-flux-transfer-member slots overlap with each other, and a magnetic flux transfer member inserted into the magnetic-flux-transfer-member slots of the coil.

The magnets are arranged so that the magnetization directions of adjacent magnets are perpendicular to one another.

Abstract: In a gas turbine engine control system having a first valve for regulating the flow rate of fuel in premixed combustion and a second valve for regulating that in diffusion combustion, when the combustion mode is switched from one mode to the other mode, whichever of the first and second valves is associated with the other combustion mew is opened to supply the amount of fuel required for conducting the other combustion mode and, the opening of the valve associated with the one combustion mode is gradually decreased, while that of the other combustion mode is gradually increased, thereby maintaining the total amount of fuel supplied to the engine constant, after elapse of a predetermined period. At the time of switching the combustion mode, therefore, the total amount of fuel supplied to the engine can be accurately controlled to a desired value to minimize engine speed fluctuation.

Then, an adiabatic flame temperature in a combustion chamber is determined based on at least the determined flow rate of the fuel and it is determined whether a selected one of combustion modes including premixed combustion and diffusive combustion is to be switched to other based on the determined adiabatic flame temperature and the detected air temperature and the selected combustion mode is controlled to switch to the other in response to a result of determination. With this, it becomes possible to achieve switchover to the stabler combustion mode and realize better low emission performance by utilizing the premixed combustion range.
