  • Publication number: 20190234405
    Abstract: A pump device includes a shaft, a motor that rotates the shaft, and a pump driven by the motor through the shaft to discharge oil. The pump device includes a first passage that sucks oil from an intake opening of the motor, a second passage which is provided between a stator and a rotor, and a third passage connected from the second passage to a negative pressure region inside the pump, and the pump discharges oil flowing from the third passage to the pump from the discharge opening.

  • Publication number: 20190234406
    Abstract: A pump device includes a shaft, a motor to rotate the shaft, and a pump driven by the motor via the shaft to discharge oil. The pump device includes a first flow path for oil to connect an interior of the pump and an interior of a housing, a second flow path for oil provided between a stator and a rotor included in the motor, a third flow path for oil disposed outside in a radial direction or inside in the radial direction of the stator and the rotor, and a fourth flow path to cause oil from the second flow path or the third flow path to flow into the pump.

  • Patent number: 8217293
    Abstract: The present invention provides producing method and producing apparatus in which polarized xenon gas of high concentration is obtained without being frozen, and polarized xenon gas can be produced continuously. A glass cell having solid rubidium and solid xenon filled in vacuum is heated to be gas xenon and gas-liquid mixed rubidium, to which a magnetic field is applied to irradiate a laser beam thereby obtaining polarized xenon gas of high concentration.

  • Patent number: 7505804
    Abstract: Ultrahigh speed magnetic resonance imaging equipment is capable of predicting temporal and spatial operation of an object to be imaged and significantly reducing the number of phase and frequency encodings, thereby significantly increasing the imaging speed. An object (4) to be imaged is placed in a static magnetic field (3) and a gradient magnetic field and a radiofrequency wave are applied to the object in an x, y and/or z direction in an orthogonal coordinates system. The equipment includes means for collecting only phase and frequency encodings optimized based on an estimate of motion of the object (4) to be imaged and means for complementing unacquired data. By increasing the imaging speed, as described above, the temporal resolution is improved and it is possible to display a two-dimensional cross section and three-dimensional internal structure of the object in motion as an image. As a result imaging is possible even when the object (4) to be imaged is temporally deformed or displaced.

  • Publication number: 20010043160
    Abstract: An antenna storage part 22c is provided on a thin board or plate-like main body 2 of the PC card 1 which most part of the top and bottom is covered by the radio wave shield material 10, 12. The extendible antenna unit 3 is inserted in this storage part of the antenna unit. In time of using, at least the antenna part 32a of the antenna unit 3 is expanded outside of the radio wave shield material of the main body 2 and retained in the expanded position to receive and send the radio wave. In time of not using, the antenna unit 3 is stored and retained in the stored position where the substantially entire antenna unit 3 is stored in the main body 2.
