  • Publication number: 20240310088
    Abstract: A noise reducing unit includes a common mode choke coil and a first damping portion that is made of a nonmagnetic material. The common mode choke coil includes an annular core, a first winding wound around the core, and a second winding wound around the core and spaced apart from the first winding. The first damping portion surrounds the first winding and the second winding. The first damping portion is configured such that an induced current flows in the first damping portion to generate magnetic flux that resists changes in leakage flux leaking from the core. The noise reducing unit further includes a second damping portion that is made of a magnetic material. The second damping portion is disposed on an opposite side of the first damping portion from the common mode choke coil.

  • Publication number: 20240251799
    Abstract: In an antimicrobial substrate, a cured material of a binder containing a copper compound and a polymerization initiator is fixed onto a surface of a base material. At least a part of the copper compound is exposed on a surface of the cured material of the binder. A surface composition ratio of the cured material of the binder obtained by an energy dispersive X-ray analyzer is calculated on a basis of a peak intensity of a characteristic X-ray of a carbon element and a copper element that are a main constituent element of a resin component, and a weight ratio is C/Cu=28.0/1.0 to 200.0/1.0.

  • Publication number: 20240238848
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a support unit, a supply unit, an annular member, a rotation unit, a cover member, and an annular flow regulation member disposed above the cover member. The annular member includes an inclined surface inclined downward toward a center of the annular member in a radial direction. The flow regulation member includes a base portion and a protrusion which faces a circumferential portion of the substrate supported on the support unit and protrudes from the base portion toward the circumferential portion of the substrate. The protrusion overlaps the support unit when viewed in a vertical direction. A lower surface of the protrusion is positioned above an upper surface of the substrate supported on the support unit and positioned below an upper surface of the annular member. An inner circumferential surface of the protrusion is inclined radially outward from an upper side to a lower side.

  • Patent number: 12038207
    Abstract: The refrigeration cycle device includes a compressor, an outside heat exchanger, a cooling pressure reducing unit, an evaporator, a branch portion, a cool down pressure reducing unit, a temperature adjusting unit, a merging portion, a bypass passage, and a first on-off valve. The temperature adjusting unit includes a temperature adjusting heat exchange unit and adjusts a temperature of a temperature adjustment target object. During a cooling and cool down mode, the outside heat exchanger functions as a radiator, and the evaporator and the temperature adjusting heat exchange unit function as heat absorbers. During a target object warm up mode, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is guided to the temperature adjusting heat exchange unit via the bypass passage, and the heat of the discharged refrigerant is used as a heat source for heating the temperature adjustment target object.
