Abstract: A connection structure connects an insulated wire to a terminal. The insulated wire has a conductor covered with an insulating cover. The insulated wire has: a cover portion where the conductor is covered with the insulating cover; an exposed portion where the conductor is exposed; and a crushed portion including a boundary between the exposed portion and the cover portion and subjected to crushing. The terminal includes: a plate base; a conductor crimping part extended and bent from the plate base to crimp the exposed portion together with the plate base; and a cover crimping part extended and bent from the plate base to crimp the cover portion together with the plate base. The boundary is positioned between the conductor crimping part and the cover crimping part.

Abstract: A fixing structure for fixing a neutral wire and a temperature sensor fixes the neutral wire forming a neutral point of a stator coil and the temperature sensor. The fixing structure has a plurality of protruding portions that protrude from the neutral wire in a direction away from a current path in the neutral wire during energization and are opposed to each other. The temperature sensor is sandwiched between a plurality of protruding portions facing each other.

Abstract: A method for producing a support for a lithographic printing plate is described, which comprises mechanically graining the surface of an aluminum sheet, and then electrolytically graining the surface of the aluminum sheet in a solution containing hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, or a mixture thereof by applying thereto an alternating current in such manner that the ratio the quantity of electricity during the cathodic period to the quantity of electricity anodic period is in the range of from 1.0/1 to 2.5/1.
