Abstract: A single-phase induction motor and a method for reducing noise in the same, which can eliminate unbalance between magnetomotive forces of main and auxiliary windings in a stator of the motor, thereby implementing a low noise, low vibration motor, and can also achieve balance between the magnetomotive forces of the stator windings in the entire running range of the motor, and can further achieve balance between the magnetomotive forces of the stator windings on the basis of temperature increase of the motor as it runs. The amplitude of a main-winding current flowing through the main winding in the stator is controlled to be equal to the amplitude of an auxiliary-winding current flowing through the auxiliary winding in the stator, and the phase difference between the main-winding and auxiliary-winding currents is controlled to be maintained at a predetermined value.

Abstract: Disclosed is metal composite oxides having the new crystal structure. Also disclosed are ionic conductors including the metal composite oxides and electrochemical devices comprising the ionic conductors. The metal composite oxides have an ion channel formed for easy movement of ions due to crystallographic specificity resulting from the ordering of metal ion sites and metal ion defects within the unit cell. Therefore, the metal composite oxides according to the present invention are useful in an electrochemical device requiring an ionic conductor or ionic conductivity.

Abstract: A method for decreasing the effective magnetic filament sizes for high current internal tin Nb3Sn superconductors. During processing composite rods preferably comprised of copper clad Ta rods of approximately the same dimensions as the hexes in the designed filament billet stack are used as dividers in the subelement. Along with the Ta rods, Ta strips are strategically situated against the Nb or Nb alloy barrier tube which surrounds the subelement. The use of Ta as a spacer instead of copper prevents any reasonable likelihood of bridging of the superconducting phases formed after final reaction.

Abstract: An improvement is disclosed in the method for producing a multifilament (Nb, Ti)3Sn superconducting wire by the steps of preparing a plurality of Nb or Nb alloy rods where Nb or Nb alloy monofilaments are encased in copper or copper alloy sheaths; packing the Nb or Nb alloy rods within a copper containing matrix to form a packed subelement for the superconducting wire; providing sources of Sn, and sources of Ti within said subelement; assembling the subelements within a further copper containing matrix; and diffusing the Sn and Ti into the Nb or Nb alloy rods to form (Nb, Ti)3Sn. The method is improved by diffusing the Ti into the Nb from a minor number of Ti dopant source rods which are distributed among the Nb or Nb alloy rods.

Abstract: A method for producing a superconductor having a high copper to superconductor composition (Cu/SC) ratio by cross-sectional area. An assembly is prepared formed of one or more fine filaments of a superconductor composition or of a precursor component for a superconductor alloy composition, which filaments are embedded in a copper-based matrix. The assembly is electroplated with copper to increase the Cu/filament ratio in the resulting product, and thereby increase the said Cu/SC ratio to improve the stability of the final superconductor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing compression-molded candy comprising the steps of mixing and dissolving conventional candy mixture at a temperature of 100 to 120° C., concentrating the candy mixture to a water content of below 2.0% under the conditions of a temperature of 130 to 160° C., steam pressure of 4.0 to 9.5 kgf/cm3, and vacuum pressure of 100 to 700 mmHg, adding the conventional additives thereto, maintaining the candy mixture at a temperature of below 80° C., and molding the candy mixture by pressure packing at a pressure of 10 to 50 kgf/cm3 within 5 to 30 seconds. By lowering the ratio of water content to below 2% and pressure packing the mixture at high pressure and low temperatures, it is possible to manufacture candies of various distinct shapes stable despite changes in the outer environment.

Abstract: An edit recording method and apparatus using erase head control is provided in which connection portions between programs are edited and recorded in a manner which prevents the erasure of a recorded end portion between a full erase head and a video head when a program having different contents is additionally edited on a recorded tape. An erase operation is stopped by relatively controlling full erase head according to an interval to enable a dubbing operation to be performed for a predetermined time.
