  • Patent number: 11925908
    Abstract: A fine bubble generator may include an inlet; an outlet; a first fine bubble generation portion; and a second fine bubble generation portion. The first fine bubble generation portion includes: a diameter-reducing flow path and a diameter-increasing flow path. The second fine bubble generation portion includes: a first swirling flow generation portion; and a second swirling flow generation portion. The first swirling flow generation portion includes: a first outer peripheral portion; and a plurality of first vanes disposed configured to generate a first swirling flow flowing in a first swirling direction with respect to a center axis of the second fine bubble generation portion. The second swirling flow generation portion includes: a second outer peripheral portion; and a plurality of second vanes configured to generate a second swirling flow flowing in a second swirling direction opposite to the first swirling direction with respect to the center axis.

  • Patent number: 6066945
    Abstract: An electric power saving transformer for three-phase current with an automatic voltage transferring device, in an autotransformer of a three-phase three-wire system or a three-phase four-wire system, has phase-winding of one set or plural sets of main coils which are connected to input terminals on a three-phase core-type core; connecting plural sets of exciting coils mutually connected in series to wind the three-phase core-type core between the ends of the main coils by means of plural combinations of connection; connecting plural electric switches between the ends of the main coils and the exciting coils which are switched to ON/OFF based on a voltage value detected at the input or output terminals; and connecting and disconnecting between the ends of the main coils and the exciting coils, by switching ON/OFF of the electric switches stepwise on the same value of voltages or currents between the phases in order to automatically change output voltage correspondingly to input voltage onto voltage transferrin

  • Patent number: 5654627
    Abstract: In an autotransformer of a single-phase three-wire system or a single-phase two-wire system, plural sets of main coils connected with input terminals are phase-wound on a single-phase core-type core, and further, between the ends of the main coils, plural sets of excitation coils mutually connected in series to wind on the single-phase core-type core are connected by plural combined connections. Further, plural sets of thyristors controlled ON/OFF by using the value measured by a voltage sensor connected to the aforementioned input terminals are provided between the aforementioned ends and the exciting coils. Therefore, the circuits are automatically changed in response to the increase and decrease of the input voltage, with a result that a load is not ill influenced so that the voltage value is always output within the predetermined range.

  • Patent number: 5517374
    Abstract: A magnetic disk drive apparatus including: a hub being rotatably supported by bearings mounted on a center fixed shaft and driving magnetic disks while having the magnetic disks attached to the outer circumferential surface thereof; a drive magnet fixedly secured to the hub; and a stator core fixed on a frame portion so as to confront the drive magnet. A clamp cap portion on a distal end portion of the hub is arranged for closing a center hole of the hub, and a tap hole is formed at the center of the clamp cap portion so that a disk clamp for clamping the magnetic disks can be screwed.
