  • Patent number: 11646644
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a rotor core includes detecting a height of a projecting portion formed on a lower die by a height detecting unit, and placing onto the lower die a core body in which a magnet insertion hole is formed such that the projecting portion is positioned in the magnet insertion hole when the height detecting unit has determined that the height of the projecting portion is within a set range. Additionally, the method includes bringing a permanent magnet in the magnet insertion hole into contact with an upper end of the projecting portion, and placing onto the core body a holding member after bringing the permanent magnet into contact with the upper end of the projecting portion. Melted resin is injected into the magnet insertion hole in which the permanent magnet has been inserted after placing the holding member onto the core body.

  • Patent number: 7523524
    Abstract: A second housing whose center portion is depressed and whose end portion around the center portion is formed like a visor is arranged around a first housing whose center portion is depressed and whose end portion around the center portion is formed like a visor, and a hollow portion is formed between the first housing and the second housing by sandwiching a packing between the end portions of the housings. Further, degassed water for preventing empty heating is filled in the hollow portion, and an ultrasonic transducer is placed on the surface of the center portion of the first housing. A weight for preventing the vibration of the wall is provided on the wall surface of the second housing. Since the vibration of the wall of the housing is suppressed by the weight, vibration energy returns toward the bottom surface of the center of the housing through water and is radiated from the bottom surface efficiently as ultrasonic waves.

  • Patent number: 5008531
    Abstract: A light identifying system includes a photoelectric conversion unit for receiving a pulsed light from a light emitting part on a light receiving part to generate a light reception signal that varies in magnitude according to the quantity of the received light. A peak holding circuit has a time constant that is long compared with the pulse interval of the pulsed light. The peak holding circuit stores a peak value of the light reception signal for its time constant. The peak value is divided by a constant for application to a comparator. The comparator compares it with the light reception signal as a threshold. A peak value of the light reception signal is held, and the peak value thus held is specified as a threshold to the light reception signal, therefore in the unlikely event of decrease in the quantity of emitted light due to a secular change or of decrease in the quantity of received light due to mist and oil film, the threshold decreases accordingly.

  • Patent number: 5008532
    Abstract: The light reception signal circuit for photoelectric switch includes a photoelectric conversion circuit for receiving light from a light emitting part controlled for periodic emission. The photoelectric conversion circuit generates an electrical signal corresponding to the quantity of the received light. A programmable attenuator receives the output electrical signal, and attenuates it in even step in response to a digital control signal. A first comparator compares the output voltage with a predetermined upper bound threshold. The first comparator generates a clock signal when the output voltage exceeds the upper bound threshold. A peak holding circuit for receives an output voltage of the programmable attenuator, and holds the peak value of the output voltage on a time constant that is much longer than an emission period of the light emitting part.

  • Patent number: 4988956
    Abstract: In a peniotron, a hollow electron beam is generated from a cathode gun assembly and a DC magnetic field is applied to the electron beam from solenoid coils. Thus, each electron of the electron beam is gyrated into a resonant cavity and into propagating waveguide sections which are maintained in auto-resonant conditions so that the electrons interact with an electromagnetic waves of TE mode not only in the resonant cavity section but also in a waveguide section. Accordingly, the electromagnetic wave is oscillated in the resonant waveguide section and amplified in the propagating waveguide section in such a manner that the level of the electromagnetic wave in the resonant cavity section is far less than the output power from said propagating waveguide.
