  • Patent number: 9851220
    Abstract: An assembly structure of a nonmagnetic member to which a position sensor arranged to to sense a rotation position of the rotation member, includes: a nonmagnetic member including a hollow portion; a cover which is fixed to an opening end portion of the hollow portion; and a retaining portion which is provided on an outer circumference portion of the hollow portion of the nonmagnetic member, and to which the position sensor is assembled from the opening end portion's side to be slid in a rotation axis direction, the cover restricting movements of the magnet holding portion and the position sensor in the rotation axis direction in a case where the cover is fixed to the nonmagnetic member in a state where the magnet holding portion and the position sensor are assembled to the nonmagnetic member.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8136481
    Abstract: A device (1) for plasma treatment comprises an electrode (2) having a surface (14) covered by a dielectric barrier (3), and an AC high voltage source (6) for applying an AC high voltage to the electrode (2) to bring about a dielectric barrier discharge (9) in a gas (10) at atmospheric pressure present in front of the dielectric barrier (3) in order to generate a plasma. To the end of generating the plasma even without a counter-electrode for the electrode (2), pointed tips are distributed over the surface (14) of the electrode (2), these pointed tips pointing towards the gas (10) in front of the dielectric barrier (3), whereas the dielectric barrier (3) has a smooth outer surface (15) facing the gas (10).
