  • Publication number: 20240110313
    Abstract: In an embodiment, an electrospinning apparatus includes a transfer unit, a spinning head and an air ejection unit. In the transfer unit, a transfer target is transferred along a transfer direction, and a spinning head is capable of ejecting a material liquid toward the transfer unit from a first direction, which intersects the transfer direction. The air ejection unit forms an air flow that flows across the transfer unit toward an area located on an opposite side across the transfer unit in a second direction, which intersects both the transfer direction and the first direction, by ejecting air against the transfer unit from one side of the second direction.

  • Patent number: 11075570
    Abstract: There is provided a rotary electric machine that ensures improving a maximum torque and a rated power factor while reducing an increase in a starting current. In view of this, the rotary electric machine includes a shaft, a rotor, and a stator. The rotor is fixed to an outer periphery of the shaft. The stator is located so as to surround an outer periphery of the rotor. The rotor includes a rotor iron core including a plurality of rotor slots located at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction and rotor bars inserted into the rotor slots. Rotor slits communicate with outer peripheral sides of the rotor slots. The rotor slits have a width ws in a circumferential direction. The width ws is smaller than a height hs in a radial direction of the rotor slit, and when a rated current is denoted as I1, a turn ratio (primary/secondary) is denoted as Tr, and a magnetic permeability in a vacuum is denoted as ?0, a relationship of ws>?0×I1×Tr/0.6 is met.
