Abstract: A compressor includes a casing having a cylindrical barrel, a compression mechanism, and an electric motor. The electric motor has a tubular stator, and a rotor disposed inside the stator. The stator has a back yoke forming an outer peripheral portion of the stator, a plurality of teeth extending radially inward, and slots. A fluid passage extends between an outer peripheral surface of the stator and an inner peripheral surface of the barrel. The fluid passage has a plurality of wide portions arranged in a circumferential direction of the stator, and a narrow portion provided between adjacent ones of the wide portions. The narrow portion has a smaller radial width than each of the wide portions. Each wide portion is provided in the outer peripheral surface of the stator and between a core cut having a recessed groove shape between the slots and the inner peripheral surface of the barrel.

Abstract: A computer program product including programmed instructions that cause a computer to perform acquiring, changing, first generating, second generating, and synthesizing. The acquiring includes acquiring first point cloud data including a position on a first three-dimensional surface shape. The changing includes changing, using a three-dimensional element shape, the first three-dimensional surface shape represented by the first point cloud data to a second three-dimensional surface shape. The first generating includes generating second point cloud data including a surface position on the second three-dimensional surface shape. The second generating includes generating, from the second point cloud data, second shape data representing the second three-dimensional shape. The synthesizing includes synthesizing element shape data of the surface model or the solid model and the second shape data to generate first shape data representing the surface model or the solid model of the first three-dimensional shape.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an additive manufacturing apparatus includes a laminate formation unit, a binding formation unit, control unit and a detection unit. The laminate formation unit forms laminated layers of a powdered material. The binding formation unit binds at least a part of a layer to form a manufactured object. The control unit binds the layer by the binding formation unit on the basis of shape information of the manufactured object. The detection unit detects a shape of the part of the manufactured object. The control unit compares the shape of the manufactured object and the shape information.
