  • Patent number: 11695306
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine capable of obtaining a higher torque while minimizing the amount of permanent magnets used. A rotor core includes a plurality of first insertion holes each having an auxiliary magnet embedded therein, the auxiliary magnet being embedded so as to surround a rotation axis of a rotor in a cross-section orthogonal to the rotation axis. The rotor core includes a plurality of second insertion holes each having a main magnet embedded therein, the main magnet being embedded so as to extend from the auxiliary magnet toward an outer circumferential direction of the rotor. The rotor includes a plurality of magnetic poles formed around the rotation axis, the magnetic poles each having the auxiliary magnet and the plurality of main magnets. The auxiliary magnet is arranged disproportionately on one side of the first insertion hole in the circumferential direction of the rotor so as to form a clearance on the other side of the first insertion hole.

  • Patent number: 11682936
    Abstract: Provided is a motor capable of suppressing reduction of the torque of the motor even if the amount of use of the permanent magnets embedded in the rotor core is reduced. A motor includes a rotor with permanent magnets embedded in a rotor core, and a stator positioned on an outer circumference of the rotor. The rotor includes magnetic poles formed around a rotation axis of the rotor, the magnetic poles having the permanent magnets arranged therein. The permanent magnets in adjacent magnetic poles are arranged such that positions of a north pole and a south pole of the permanent magnet in one magnetic pole are inverted from those of the permanent magnet in a magnetic pole adjacent to the one magnetic pole. The permanent magnets each have a residual magnetization that decreases as it moves from the north pole toward the south pole.

  • Patent number: 9024967
    Abstract: The system provides different ways for users to select an object and an action to be applied to the object in computer applications such as image processing or digital post-production. The user can select an object first and then an action, or vice versa. The user can also use gestural input to designate both an object and action virtually simultaneously. Multiple view, or windows, of an image can be independently sized, zoomed, panned, etc. Any effects performed on the image appear in all of the windows since each window shows (potentially) different portions of the same image content. A navigation window helps a user move within a large image or diagram that does not fit entirely on a single display screen. The navigation window includes an inner box that shows, in miniature, the principal objects in the screen display.

  • Patent number: 8830272
    Abstract: Multiple views, or windows, of an image of flowgraph nodes can be modified to facilitate viewing the nodes. In one embodiment, each window includes at least one boundary that is shared with another window so that when a window is changed by moving a particular boundary it causes another window sharing the particular boundary to correspondingly change. Window subsections can be used for viewing a different portion of the image.

  • Patent number: 6820137
    Abstract: A resolution converting method, device, and computer-readable recording medium that can improve the quality of a resolution-converted image. The invention converts resolution based on a model generated through statistical processing of multiple images by preparing multiple models having different resolutions, receiving an input image, projecting the input image onto a model to obtain characteristic parameters of the input image, and generating an image by applying the obtained characteristic parameters to a model. Using the characteristic parameters thereby obtained, an image is generated using a model different from the model used to obtain the characteristic parameters. Consequently, the invention is capable of improving the quality of the resolution-converted image.

  • Patent number: 6801654
    Abstract: The present invention provides a picture-processing apparatus and method for finding a point A (xp, yp) on a projection drawing showing a first surface as a point corresponding to a point a (−1/2, ye) on the left side of a square shape forming an expansion drawing of the first surface and a point B (xp′, yp′) on the projection drawing as a point corresponding to a point b (1/2, ye) on the right side of a square shape forming an expansion drawing of a second surface adjacent to the first surface on the basis of a predetermined transformation relation. On the expansion drawings, the point a coincides with the point b. The transformation relation is corrected by finding average coordinates ((xp+xp′)/2, (yp+yp′)/2) as the coordinates of a new point C located on the projection drawing and designated as a point corresponding to the point a (−1/2, ye), and using a pair of the point C and the point a (−1/2, ye) as a base for a new transformation relation.
