  • Publication number: 20240195266
    Abstract: A rotor may include: a rotor shaft; a rotor core attached to the rotor shaft and comprising a plurality of magnet slots and magnets, wherein at least one magnet of the magnets has an elongated cross-sectional shape and is fixed by being pressed against a part of an inner surface defining a corresponding one of the magnet slots of the rotor core. The rotor is configured so that coolant flowing through the rotor shaft reaches a surface of a long side of the at least one magnet that is exposed inward in a radial direction of the rotor core in the corresponding magnet slot and moves along an axial direction of the rotor core.

  • Patent number: 10057262
    Abstract: A device includes a storage unit that stores generated challenges which are challenges previously generated, a determination unit that determines whether a newly generated challenge matches any of the generated challenges or not, an output unit that outputs the newly generated challenge as an unused challenge when the determination unit determines that the newly generated challenge does not match any of the generated challenges, and a registration unit that stores the newly generated challenge as a new generated challenge in the storage unit when the determination unit determines that the newly generated challenge does not match any of the generated challenges.
