  • Patent number: 10770933
    Abstract: A stator fixing structure is configured such that a projection (2) is provided to project from the outer periphery of a stator (1), which is formed by stacking a plurality of plate-shaped members, in a radial direction while a fastening member (11) is inserted into a fastening member inserting hole (3) formed in the projection (2) so as to fix the stator (1) to a frame (8), and the outer peripheral surface of the stator (1) except the projection (2) is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the frame (8) by shrink fitting. A dent (4) is formed at the root of the projection (2), thereby reducing the proportion of the projection (2) in the periphery of the stator and increasing the contact area between the frame (8) and the stator (1) for the shrink fit part (7). Thus, the stator (1) can be effectively fastened to the frame (8).

  • Patent number: 10372261
    Abstract: A touch panel of capacitance type includes plural X-electrodes, plural Y-electrodes, and a Z-electrode. Each of the X-electrode and the Y-electrode is formed to have pad portions and thin line portions alternately arranged in an extending direction. The pad portion of the X-electrode and the pad portion of the Y-electrode are arranged without being overlapped in a planar view. The Z-electrode is electrically in a floating state, and formed to be overlapped with both the adjacent X-electrode and the Y-electrode in a planar view. The touched position is calculated based on a local minimal point as an intersection with the interelectrode capacitance value that is equal to or smaller than each of the interelectrode capacitance values of four peripheral intersections among those at the intersections between the plural X-electrodes and the plural Y-electrodes.

  • Patent number: 10025525
    Abstract: The access from a host computer to a storage system is continued before and after data migration in the storage system. A first controller allocates a first logical storage area to a specific virtual storage area, stores first association information indicating the specific virtual storage area and the first logical storage area, and sends the first association information to the host computer. The first controller and the second controller perform data migration from the first logical storage area to a second logical storage area. The first controller releases the first logical storage area from the specific virtual storage area and reflects the release in the first association information. The second controller allocates the second logical storage area to the specific virtual storage area, stores second association information indicating the specific virtual storage area and the second logical storage area, and sends the second association information to the host computer.
