Patent number: 11535311Abstract: A vehicle includes a rear lamp, a side surface, and a rear surface. The rear lamp is disposed on a rear end and an upper end of a lower side surface and a rear end and a side end of the vehicle, and includes a lamp body extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle. The side surface includes the lower side surface bulging toward a vehicle-width-direction outer side with respect to the rear lamp at a front side of a height position overlapping with the rear lamp. The rear surface includes an extending surface extending toward the vehicle-width-direction outer side with respect to the lamp body in a top view of the vehicle from a lower portion of the lamp body. A side surface airflow is directed toward a vehicle-width-direction inner side through the extending surface and the generation of a large trailing vortex is suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Masafumi Aburame, Shinji Miyamoto, Ichiro Sakai, Yohei Kusamoto, Masaki Hirata, Kosuke Hirayama

Publication number: 20200273594Abstract: An electron beam irradiation device includes a vacuum chamber having an electron beam generator inside, a vacuum nozzle, and a window foil on a tip of the vacuum nozzle. The electron beam irradiation device further includes an outer pipe surrounding the vacuum nozzle, a cooling-gas supply unit that supplies cooling gas into a coolant passage formed between the vacuum nozzle and the outer pipe, and a heat-conducting transmission foil fitted to the window foil and contacting the tip of the vacuum nozzle. The heat-conducting transmission foil has a value of at least 63×10?3, which is determined by dividing a thermal conductivity [W/(m·K)] by a density [kg/m3], and a tip part of the vacuum nozzle is made of a material having at least a thermal conductivity of copper.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2018Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventors: Ryuta TANAKA, Ichiro SAKAI, Takeshi NODA

Patent number: 10398794Abstract: An internal surface electron beam-irradiating device sterilizes the internal surface of a vial by irradiation with an electron beam. The internal surface electron beam-irradiating device includes an electron beam generator that generates the electron beam, a vacuum chamber containing the electron beam generator, an output window that emits the electron beam to the outside of the vacuum chamber, and an extension nozzle that guides an electron cloud formed by extending the electron beam emitted from the output window. The extension nozzle includes a leaking section that leaks the electron cloud. The leaking section includes empty portions that discharge part of the electron cloud to the outside, and a component portion that guides the electron cloud into the leaking section.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: HITACHI ZOSEN CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroyuki Daiku, Takeshi Noda, Ichiro Sakai
