  • Publication number: 20140183985
    Abstract: A large peeling force due to heat occurs at the boundary between the insulation coating over the coil end and the coil conductor when the stator coil emits heat and reaches a high temperature due to the high output of the rotating electric machine that causes the insulation coating to peel from the conductor consequently causing insulation defects. A sloped surface is formed on the insulation coating so that the thickness of the tip of the insulation coating on the coil end has a shape having a slope that becomes gradually thinner towards the welded coupling section made by welding the conductor.

  • Patent number: 7560932
    Abstract: There is provided a nuclear magnetic resonance probe in which the loss caused by a high frequency cable between a probe coil and a preamplifier is reduced and the sensitivity of an NMR signal is improved. A changeover switch for NMR probe is divided into a switch part including switch elements and a filter part for filtering a switch control signal and an RF transmission signal. The switch part is disposed in a probe body inserted in a magnet of the probe. The filter part is disposed near a measurement apparatus located outside the probe. As for the switch part, a section structure of thickness and width is reduced in conformity with a narrow and slender shape of the probe body. The length of a high frequency cable between the probe coil and the preamplifier is shortened remarkably, and consequently the loss can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 7282912
    Abstract: In an NMR measurement method using an NMR apparatus which converts a received signal to digital data using an analog/digital converter and performs a spectral analysis, a folding and aliasing count is decided from a variation in a peak frequency and frequency discrimination is performed. More specifically, a Nyquist frequency is changed to cause a variation of the peak frequency. Since the Nyquist frequency is inversely proportional to an increment of an evolution time t1 which is a feature of multi-dimensional NMR, the Nyquist frequency can be changed by changing the increment of the evolution time. Furthermore, the Nyquist frequency is changed in such a way that a ratio between different Nyquist frequencies is not a ratio between natural numbers n1 and n2 which are greater than 0 and smaller than or equal to the maximum folding and aliasing count.
