Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: a first designation unit configured to designate a first image group; a second designation unit configured to designate a second image group; an analysis unit configured to analyze each image included in the first image group and the second image group; a determination unit configured to determine a reference, based on an analysis result of the second image group; and a selection unit configured to select an image from the first image group, based on the reference and an analysis result of the first image group.

Abstract: In a stator and a rotating electric machine equipped with this stator, the insulation properties of a coil are ensured by suppressing lead wire stress generated during a stator assembly process. The stator has a stator core, a coil wound around the stator core, lead wires led out from the coil, and power lines provided between the lead wires and a connection terminal of an external circuit. The lead wires and the power lines are electrically connected with each other through an elastically deformable elastic bus bar. Even if a shift occurs in the relative position between the coil and the connection terminal during the assembly process of the stator, this configuration allows the elastic bus bar to absorb the shift and makes it possible to suppress the stress generated on the lead wires.

Abstract: An electric rotating machine includes a rotor, a stator in which a coil is so wound as to have an coil end, and a coolant supply pipe. The coolant supply pipe lies with a length thereof extending substantially parallel to an axis of rotation of the rotor and is disposed above the stator in a direction of gravitational force. The coolant supply pipe has a first and a second coolant outlet through which coolant is to be emitted to the coil end. The first and the second coolant outlets are so oriented as to direct streams of the coolant to a first area and a second area of the coil end which are different in location from each other. This enables the coolant to be emitted to almost the whole of the coil end even when the electric rotating machine is titled in a direction in which the rotor turns.

Abstract: An electric rotating machine is provided which includes a stator in which a coil is so wound as to have an coil end and a coolant channel. The coolant channel has defined therein a flow path through which coolant flows and a flow separator disposed in the flow path and a first and a second coolant outlet. The flow separator works to separate a flow of the coolant into at least a first and a second coolant streams. The first coolant outlet communicates with the first coolant stream, while the second coolant outlet communicates with the second coolant stream. The first and second coolant outlets drain the coolant to different portions of the coil end, thereby cooling almost the whole of the coil end even when the electric rotating machine is tilted undesirably.
