Patent number: 7176598Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: Koyo Seiko Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sadaaki Mori, Hirohide Inayama, Atsushi Ishihara, Tomofumi Takahashi, Minoru Kitabayashi, Tetsuo Horie

Patent number: 5423676Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 1993Date of Patent: June 13, 1995Assignees: Osaka Gas Co., Ltd., Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Tsunemi, Takashi Fujii, Muneharu Ichikawa, Makoto Shimizu, Tetsuo Horie, Harunobu Sakabe

Patent number: 5220246Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 1990Date of Patent: June 15, 1993Assignee: Mitsubishi Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Eizo Ide, Kitoshi Hashimoto, Takijiro Shimamoto, Tetsuo Horie, Yasuyuki Maehara, Toshihiko Maeda
