  • Publication number: 20110001374
    Abstract: An automotive dynamoelectric machine that achieves disposing of permanent magnets and thickening of field coil wire by disposing trough portions on yoke portions and disposing magnet holders that hold the permanent magnets so as to span the trough portions to ensure outlet space for field coil lead wires. In the dynamoelectric machine, trough portions are formed on respective portions of yoke portions between circumferentially adjacent claw-shaped magnetic pole portions, a magnet holder is disposed so as to span over a trough portion, and a permanent magnet is held by the magnet holder. A lead wire is led out of a rotor from a field coil so as to pass through a space that is bounded by the trough portion and the magnet holder.

  • Patent number: 7843107
    Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine including first and second permanent magnets held by first and second magnet seats on first and second yoke portions so as to face inner circumferential surfaces of tip end portions of first and second claw-shaped magnetic pole portions. The first and second permanent magnets are magnetically oriented in a reverse direction to orientation of a magnetic field that the field coil produces. The dynamoelectric machine enables permanent magnet holding reliability to be increased, induced voltage during no-load de-energization to be suppressed, and thermal demagnetization of magnets due to high-frequency magnetic fields that are induced by stator slots to be avoided.

  • Patent number: 7642685
    Abstract: An electric rotating machine comprises: a stator in which a coil is wound on a plurality of teeth in concentrated winding, and the coil is connected to a three-phase power supply; and a rotor disposed in opposition to the teeth of the stator; wherein a ratio between the number of poles and the number of slots of the stator is 1:3. There is no higher harmonics of magnetomotive force in low order close to fundamental wave, thus enabling efficient operation of the electric rotating machine. Furthermore, owing to the stator of concentrated winding, it is possible to provide an electric rotating machine of high productivity with small coil end, high mass production, and high space factor.

  • Patent number: 7382294
    Abstract: A coding apparatus includes a predicting unit, an intermediate-code generating unit, a first coding unit and a second coding unit. The predicting unit generates a piece of prediction data based on each piece of pixel data constituting a color image. The intermediate-code generating unit compares each piece of prediction data with the corresponding piece of pixel data, to generate an intermediate code in accordance with whether or not a difference between each piece of prediction data and the corresponding piece of pixel data is in a predetermined range. The first coding unit performs entropy coding on the generated intermediate code. The second coding unit performs entropy coding on the generated intermediate code. The intermediate-code generating unit assigns each generated intermediate code to either of the first and second coding units according to whether or not the difference is in the predetermined range.
