  • Patent number: 6346754
    Abstract: For obtaining an electric rotating machine being constructed cheaply, while cooling capacity at the end portions of the rotor coils can be improved, and being small in the size and large in the capacity, with superior reliability thereof, in an electric rotating machine, within which a coolant fluid is circulated, wherein coil support members 13 are positioned at a distance therebetween, in a space defined between the end portions 12B of the plural rotor coils, each of the coil support members 13 is formed with two (2) insertion portions 13a extending in a radial direction and a connector portion 13b connecting therebetween, as one body and in an about “H” shape in the cross-section, thereby forming spaces 13c, each of which faces the end portion 12B of the rotor coil, at both sides of the connector portion 13b.

  • Patent number: 6340853
    Abstract: Efficient ventilation and cooling for a rotor is realized at a low cost by reducing the pressure loss at inlet flow passages, which lead to axial flow passages through which cooling gas flows to the rotor. Inlet flow passages leading to axial flow passages for cooling an interior of the rotor are composed of convex portions, which are formed axially on surfaces of a rotor spindle between and below coil ends of the rotor, and concave grooves formed between the convex portions. Also, the convex portions are designed to have a height increasing toward a downstream side, and assuming that L designates an length of the convex portions, L is greater than a radial difference between the positions of a maximum radius and a minimum radius of the convex portions.

  • Patent number: 5133403
    Abstract: A cooling device for cooling semiconductor elements by removing heat generated from the semiconductor elements such as, for example, semiconductor integrated chips in a large-sized electronic computer. The cooling device is fashioned of a composite AlN-BN sintered material having a Vickers hardness not higher than one-fifth of that of an AlN material, and an anisotropic property of thermal conductivity in a two dimensional direction is higher than that of AlN which is isotropic in thermal conductivity. The cooling device may be mass-produced while nevertheless having a high transfer performance matching the quantity of heat generated for each semiconductor element even if the composite sintered material is uniform in shape and size. The composite sintered material is formed by a mixture of a hexagonal BN powder having an average particle diameter of not less than 1 .mu.m and an AlN powder having an average particle diameter of about 2 .mu.

  • Patent number: 4956043
    Abstract: A dry etching apparatus is disclosed, in which the temperature of an article to be etched, placed on a wafer table, is controlled by a liquefied gas and a heater and the height of the surface of the liquefied gas can be varied arbitrarily. This apparatus enables the controlling of the temperature of the article to be done with a high accuracy over a wide range of low levels. Therefore, a low-temperature dry etching operation, which cannot otherwise be attained by a conventional apparatus of this kind, can be carried out.
