  • Patent number: 7839039
    Abstract: A rotary shaft of a rotor including a magnet with a plurality of magnetic poles arranged at equal intervals on an outer circumference is supported at both ends by bearings. By externally fitting the inner ring of one bearing to the rotary shaft and holding it to be immovable in an axial direction and loosely fitting the outer ring of the bearing into the support hole and positioning it with belleville springs which are in contact resiliently with both sides, the rotary shaft and the rotor are supported so that they are movable in an axial direction within a movement amount of not greater than 2 mm according to a movement of the bearing caused against spring forces of the belleville springs.

  • Patent number: 7176598
    Abstract: A bridge (8) in conformity with a tooth opening angle of the stator (1) is provided between a permanent magnet (5) and a permanent magnet (5) in a rotor (4), so that a magnetic flux for a reluctance torque is made to pass an inner side of the permanent magnet (5). An opening angle of each of ribs (7) on both sides of the permanent magnet (5) is set to be equal to or smaller than the teeth interval opening angle and equal to or larger than a half thereof. Thereby, reluctance of the rib (7) against a magnetic flux in a circumferential direction is increased and leakage of the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet (5) is prevented.

  • Patent number: 5423676
    Abstract: A waste melting furnace has a coke layer formed therein, and an annular combustion space formed circumferentially of the coke layer below an upper surface thereof and communicating with the coke layer. A depending wall projects downwardly from an upper position of the combustion space to mark a boundary between the combustion space and the coke layer. A waste is fed in powder form into the combustion space, and burned in the combustion space and the coke layer to be melted and slagged. The depending wall prevents the waste from passing directly into exhaust gas, and causes the waste to remain in the combustion space for a prolonged time before flowing into the coke layer.

  • Patent number: 5220246
    Abstract: An information transmission method using arc and apparatus thereof are applied to a loudspeaker and the like having the function of illumination. The information transmission method is characterized in that arc current supplied to an arc generating device is modulated by a signal based on information to vibrate arc column so that at least one of audible waves, ultrasonic waves and arc light is employed to transmit the information. Arc having small mechanical inertia is employed as a sound producing device and accordingly can be used as a loudspeaker having a good frequency characteristic and large output. It can be used as a sound producing device having the function of illumination by utilizing strong light emitted from arc column.
