  • Patent number: 10701842
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a power converter that can be reduced in size. To achieve this, a power converter according to the invention includes: water passages arranged radially from an assumed central axis, each being trapezoid-shaped in cross section; and power modules placed between the water passages such that each of the power modules is sandwiched from both surfaces thereof by the water passages. Each of the power modules has an output terminal and positive and negative terminals on an end face located in a centrifugal direction side with respect to the assumed central axis. Any of the power modules and an adjacent one of the power modules are set in a front-back inverted manner.

  • Publication number: 20200136446
    Abstract: A rotating electric machine includes a stator having a stator coil and a rotor provided rotatably around a specific rotation axis with respect to the stator. The rotor includes a plurality of magnets, a plurality of magnetically-assisted salient pole members provided between poles of any adjacent two magnets from among the plurality of magnets, and a magnetoresistance variation unit provided in the magnetically-assisted salient pole member along an axial direction of the rotation axis at a position offset in a circumferential direction of the rotation axis from a q-axis passing through a salient pole center of the magnetically-assisted salient pole member. The amount of offset of the magnetoresistance variation unit from the q-axis varies depending on positions of the magnetically-assisted salient pole members so that torque fluctuations cancel each other when power is applied.

  • Publication number: 20190113487
    Abstract: When a peak in a chromatogram is automatically detected by an automatic waveform processing unit and a user thereafter performs a manual operation on the peak, a manual waveform processing unit changes peak information on the peak. A time difference calculation unit calculates an elution time difference between peaks of the same component in two pieces of analyzed data. A peak selection unit selects, for the target data, a peak of the same component as the peak in the analyzed data based on analysis dates and times, namely the sequence of generation dates and times of the pieces of chromatogram data. Based on the elution time difference and the analysis dates and times, a peak information reflection unit reflects the change, made in peak information on the peak in the analyzed data, in peak information on the peak selected in the target data.

  • Patent number: 9893593
    Abstract: A rotating electric machine includes a cooling frame. The cooling frame includes a flow passage through which the first liquid coolant circulates, a flow inlet connected to one end of the flow passage so as to make the first liquid coolant flow from the outside into the flow passage, and a flow outlet connected to the other end of the flow passage so as to make the first liquid coolant having flown through the flow passage flow to the outside. The machine is configured that, when the flow passage is divided into a front half portion closer to the flow inlet and a latter half portion closer to the flow outlet, the front half portion becomes a portion where the first liquid coolant mainly cools the second liquid coolant, and the latter half portion becomes a portion where the first liquid coolant mainly cools the gas coolant.
