  • Publication number: 20240133378
    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a housing and a compression mechanism. The compression mechanism includes a compression chamber. The housing includes an intermediate pressure chamber into which refrigerant having an intermediate pressure is introduced from an external refrigerant circuit. The intermediate pressure is higher than a suction pressure of refrigerant drawn into the compression chamber and lower than a discharge pressure of the refrigerant discharged from the compression chamber. The intermediate pressure chamber and the compression chamber in a process of compression are connected to each other by an injection passage. The injection passage includes a muffler.

  • Patent number: 8387435
    Abstract: A method and a device for bending a metal hollow thick walled member to a predetermined angle without deviation of the bending center position and without separation from a half die when presser die moves up. With a pair of guide plates (GP1 and GP2) turnably attached to a center pin CP kept horizontal and the axis center of the center pin intersecting with the axis center of the metal hollow thick walled member PM, the member PM is mounted on a half die (82a). When die holding members (80a and 80b) fixedly connected to the above guide plates and kept horizontal are inclined and separated from each other as the center pin lowers, the member PM is bent to the predetermined angle and held on the half die (82b). When the center pin that can be moved vertically by a guide member moves down to a predetermined position, a contact portion (96b) contacts the inclined surface of a stopper (92b) to allow a base plate (16) to receive a pressing force from an upper die via the stopper.

  • Patent number: 6156405
    Abstract: A magnetic recording has very low warp characteristics but excellent film characteristics. Particularly, the recording medium has a high coercivity with a small range of coercivity distribution, with a warp characteristic below 3 .mu.m per radial inch. The medium is formed by heating a substrate at a high temperature with a temperature distribution on the substrate that is improved by the use of a heat distribution mask, which reduces the temperature distribution of the substrate to below .+-.3%.

  • Patent number: 5766756
    Abstract: A magnetic recording medium for longitudinal recording uses a non-magnetic substrate made of glass ceramics that is suitable for high density recording with low noise. The magnetic recording medium is obtained by forming a magnetic recording film mainly containing cobalt on a non-magnetic glass substrate through a non-magnetic underlaying film made of Cr. Further a non-magnetic covering film is formed thereon. With respect to the crystal orientation of the faces of cobalt measured by X-ray diffraction, the diffraction intensity of the (0002) face is 1.5 times or more and 8 times or less the total diffraction intensities of the other faces.

    Abstract: A task processing apparatus includes a main CPU, a plurality of sub-CPUs, a first starting section, a second starting section, and a notification section. The plurality of sub-CPUs independently execute a series of difference tasks set in advance in accordance with a predetermined sequence. The first starting section is arranged in the main CPU to output a first starting signal for starting the first sub-CPU, of the plurality of sub-CPUs, which executes a first task at the start of the series of tasks. The second starting section is arranged in each of the sub-CPUs except for the last sub-CPU. When the task in a given sub-CPU is completed, the second starting section outputs a second starting signal for starting the next sub-CPU which executes the next task. The notification section is arranged in the last sub-CPU of the plurality of sub-CPUs. The notification section supplies a processing completion signal indicating completion of the series of tasks to the main CPU when the last task is completed.
