  • Publication number: 20240014698
    Abstract: A rotary machine unit includes a casing having a tubular barrel, a stator core fixed to an inner peripheral surface of the tubular barrel, and a first member provided between the inner peripheral surface of the tubular barrel and an outer peripheral surface of the stator core. A shape of the inner peripheral surface of the tubular barrel is a non-perfect circular shape as viewed in a cylinder axis direction of the tubular barrel. The first member is made of a material having a lower Young's modulus than a material forming the tubular barrel and a material forming the stator core.

  • Publication number: 20230050577
    Abstract: A laser welding method is usable to weld a material containing copper as a main component. The laser welding method includes heating the material by irradiation with a first laser light and welding the material by irradiation of a portion, which has been irradiated with the first laser light, of the material with a second laser light with which an energy absorption rate of the copper contained in the material increases by an increase in a temperature of the material. A wavelength of the first laser light is 400 nm to 470 nm.

  • Patent number: 9189005
    Abstract: A transmission power control circuit includes: a frequency conversion unit that converts an input signal to a high frequency signal; a first power control unit that controls power of the input signal before frequency conversion by the frequency conversion unit, in a low frequency band; a second power control unit that controls power of the input signal after frequency conversion by the frequency conversion unit, in a high frequency band; and a controller that controls power using only the first power control unit in a case where a set value of output power is lower than a minimum value of output power at which power control is possible in the second power control unit, the controller controlling the power using the first power control unit and the second power control unit in a case where the set value of the output power is higher than the minimum value of the output power.

  • Patent number: 9048579
    Abstract: A lever (4) mounted on a cover (3) is held at a standby position and, in that state, the cover (3) is fitted to a housing (1) in a connecting direction to a position where the cover (3) is not aligned with the housing (1). At this position, gear teeth of the lever (4) and rack teeth of sliders (2) do not interfere with each other and are not engaged. If the cover (3) is subsequently moved in a direction perpendicular to the connecting direction via a guiding action of the engagement of guide receiving portions (9) of the connector housing (1) and U-shaped guide portions (15) formed on the cover (3), the cover (3) is smoothly mounted at a proper mounting position. At this time, since the guide portions (15) vertically sandwich the guide receiving portions (9), upward detachment of the cover (3) is prevented.

  • Patent number: 8215987
    Abstract: A retainer (40), a rubber plug (60) and a rubber plug pressing member (70) are mounted in a housing (10). The retainer (40) is movable between a partial locking position and a full locking position, and the rubber plug pressing member (70) is movable between an initial position and a pushed-in position. The rubber plug pressing member (70) is formed with arm portions (74) projecting therefrom. The retainer (40) is formed with unlock linking portions (46) for linking a movement of this retainer (40) from the full locking position to the partial locking position and a movement of the rubber plug pressing member (70) from the pushed-in position to the initial position with each other by coming into sliding contact with the arm portions (74).
