Patent number: 7223082Abstract: A so-called internal intermediate pressure multistage compression type rotary compressor makes it possible to prevent the pressure inside a roller from inconveniently increasing and also to permit smooth and reliable supply of oil into a cylinder of a second rotary compressing element by a relatively simple construction. A lubrication groove for providing communication between an oil bore and a low-pressure chamber in the cylinder is formed in a surface of an intermediate partitioner that is adjacent to the cylinder of the second rotary compressing element. Furthermore, a through bore for providing communication between a hermetically sealed vessel and the inside of the roller is formed in the intermediate partitioner.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2004Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuya Sato, Kenzo Matsumoto, Kentaro Yamaguchi, Akifumi Tomiuka, Hiromasa Aoki, Midori Futakawame

Publication number: 20070104590Abstract: In a high inner pressure type multistage compression rotary compressor including a sealed vessel having a high pressure, there is a large pressure difference between a discharge muffling chamber of a first rotary compression element having an intermediate pressure and the sealed vessel having the high pressure. Since such a pressure difference is made, a sealing property of the discharge muffling chamber cannot be secured by a conventional O-ring only, and deterioration of a volume efficiency is incurred. A rotary compressor of the present invention includes, in a sealed vessel, a driving element and a rotary compression element driven by this driving element, the rotary compressor further comprising: a support member blocking an opening of a cylinder constituting the rotary compression element and having a bearing of a rotary shaft. The surface of this support member on a side opposite to the cylinder is depressed, and a rib is added to a part of this depressed portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2006Publication date: May 10, 2007Applicant: SANYO ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventor: Kazuya Sato

Patent number: 7061603Abstract: Light emitted from an illumination optical system is guided to a photomask where a pattern is formed of an optical member including a light transmission pattern as a diffraction grating pattern, in which a light transmission part and a opaque part are repeated in a finite period and a periphery of the light transmission pattern is shielded by a opaque area, such that a plurality of ratios are given between the light transmission part and the opaque part. Diffraction light, which has passed through the photomask, is irradiated on a projection optical system, thereby to transfer a pattern reflecting an intensity distribution of the diffraction light to a wafer. A change of transmittance depending on a light path of the projection optical system is measured, based on a pattern image of the diffraction light transferred to the wafer. Pattern transfer is carried out in a non-conjugate state.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2004Date of Patent: June 13, 2006Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Kazuya Sato, Soichi Inoue
