  • Patent number: 9404503
    Abstract: Provided is a compressor motor that can achieve reduction in length of a motor lead wire, compactification of a motor housing, and reduction in size and weight of an electric compressor, and also provided is an electric compressor including the compressor motor. A cluster block (39) that is connected to a stator coil end of a motor (10) via a motor lead wire is placed in an outer circumferential region of a stator coil end cover (38) or a bobbin (37A) of the motor (10) such that a terminal connection port of the cluster block (39) faces an outer circumferential side. An opening (34) and a placement bearing surface (35) for inserting and placing a hermetic terminal (8) are provided in an outer circumferential region of a motor housing (4), the outer circumferential region facing the cluster block (39) provided on the motor (10) side.

  • Patent number: 8607290
    Abstract: Based on a user profile, content that is predicted to be desired by the user, including past episodes of a series that may have been missed by the user, is downloaded to the user's home system during periods of low bandwidth usage in the home system. A determination is made dynamically as to whether to provide the content from a server or a peer-to-peer network based on network attributes, file size, etc.

  • Patent number: 7843101
    Abstract: A rotary shaft 60 having an outside diameter larger than the bore diameter of a rotary shaft insert hole 59 of a rotor 50 is inserted into the rotary shaft insert hole 59. A magnet insert hole 51a1 is provided in a main magnetic pole [a] of the rotor 50. Permanent magnets 52a1 to 52a3 are inserted into the magnet insert hole 51a1 such that a gap is formed between the permanent magnets 52a1 to 52a3 and the magnet insert hole 51a1. A semi-tubular rivet insert hole 55a and interlocks 57a1, 57a2 elongated in the radial direction of the rotor are disposed radially outward of the magnet insert hole 51a in the rotor. A semi-tubular rivet 56a is inserted into the semi-tubular rivet insert hole 55a such that a gap is formed between the semi-tubular rivet 56a and the semi-tubular rivet insert hole 55a. Passage holes 58ab, 58da are provided in the auxiliary magnetic poles [ab], [da].

  • Publication number: 20080134043
    Abstract: A personalized entertainment and information platform (Sphere) which provides personalized content delivery across different platforms and modes of delivery. A personal media device (e.g., PC, television, and so forth) interacts with a control server configured for accessing media content and metadata over the Internet. In response to input from the user and the history of user media selection and viewing, a prioritized recommendation list is generated and queued for downloading. The associated content is then downloaded automatically to the personal media device, without the need of user interaction. At this time the user can access the downloaded content immediately without a lengthy delay in waiting for content downloading. It will be appreciated that content such as shows and movies in HD format are of significant size (e.g., up to 50 GB) which would require significant download time, and tie up network and system resources.
