  • Patent number: 11187144
    Abstract: A diffuser includes a connection section and a body section. The connection section extends from an outlet of turbine rotor blades. The body section is connected to an end of the connection section on a downstream side and has a larger flow passage sectional area than the connection section. The shape of the flow passage sectional surface of the connection section is formed into a circle at an outlet of the turbine rotor blades and is formed into an ellipse at an inlet of the body section. The shape of the flow passage sectional surface of the connection section is further formed to be gradually enlarged in a long-axis direction of the ellipse from the outlet of the turbine rotor blades toward the inlet of the body section.

  • Patent number: 11136996
    Abstract: A compressor housing accommodating a compressor wheel for compressing intake air supplied to an engine has therein an outer cooling passage extending along a circumferential direction on an outer circumferential side of a scroll passage of a spiral shape through which the intake air compressed by the compressor wheel flows, and an inner cooling passage extending along the circumferential direction on an inner circumferential side of the scroll passage. The inner cooling passage is separated from the outer cooling passage by a separation wall extending along the circumferential direction.

  • Publication number: 20190076307
    Abstract: A disposable diaper has an absorber including. The absorber includes a first region including a center of the absorber, a pair of second regions between the first folding lines and the second folding lines inward of the first folding lines, and a pair of third regions outward of the second folding lines and on the skin contact surface side of the second regions. Outer side edges of the third regions are outward of the first folding lines. The absorbent article includes a first bonded portion in which the first and second regions are bonded, a third bonded portion in which the third regions are bonded with the non-skin surface sheet, and a third non-bonded portion inward of the third bonded portion and outward of the first folding lines. The third non-bonded portion are across the center of the absorbent article in the crotch region.

  • Patent number: 8028636
    Abstract: A stern shape of a displacement-type marine vessel enables reduction of the hull resistance and prevents propeller cavitation. The displacement-type marine vessel which travels in a velocity range in which the Froude number is smaller than the last hump and the stern includes knuckle lines connecting knuckle points provided on the surface of the hull, from a starting point in front of a propeller to an end point behind the propeller. A portion of the stern located inside the knuckle line in the direction of the width of the hull has a dome shape with upward curvature, and the length of the portion which has the dome shape is set to 10% or more of the entire hull length or at least the diameter of the propeller.
