  • Publication number: 20040009887
    Abstract: The invention provides an iron-based cleaning powder capable of efficiently decomposing organic halides. The iron-based cleaning powder is made of iron alloy powder or iron powder produced with an atomization process. The iron alloy powder passes a 300 &mgr;m-mesh sieve at a proportion of not less than 90% and has an H2-reduction mass loss of 0.1 to 0.8% when it contains 0.3 to 1.1% of Mn. When the iron alloy powder contains 0.2 to 12% of Ni, it has an H2-reduction mass loss of 0.1 to 1.0%. The iron powder is used as mixed powder or partially alloyed powder together with Ni-containing powder. The iron powder passes a 300 &mgr;m-mesh sieve at a proportion of not less than 90% and has an H2-reduction mass loss of 0.1 to 1.0%. The Ni-containing powder has a Ni content of not less than 40% and passes a 45 &mgr;m-mesh sieve at a proportion of not less than 90%. The iron alloy powder and the iron powder have a martensite structure or a tempered martensite structure.

  • Patent number: 6489696
    Abstract: A rotor of a motor has a cylindrical magnet coaxially disposed with a shaft. The shaft and the magnet are bonded with thermosetting resin formed by injection molding. Since the molding shrinkage of the thermosetting resin is so small that a high preciseness is achieved in the motor structure. This precision structure can reduce vibration due to unbalance of a rotor. Also, an annealing process, in which a motor is left at a temperature higher than the limit temperature for operating the motor, can be eliminated. As a result, the efficiency of producing the motor can be improved.

  • Patent number: 5765687
    Abstract: A packing case for honeycomb structures is constituted by a case and a honeycomb structures-holding plate accommodated inside the case. The case is constituted in one piece by at least a bottom plate and side plates, and the honeycomb structures-holding plate is constituted by a honeycomb structures-holding portion, legs and slippage-preventing portions. The honeycomb structures-holding portion has a plurality of holes for holding honeycomb structures and is provided at about the same height as the vertical-direction center of the side plates of the case in such a manner that the portion is parallel to the bottom plate of the case and abuts against the side plates of the case.
