Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided a rotating electrical machine including a core, a coil extending from the core, and an electromagnetic shield which is provided outside the core, and has a plurality of shoulders projecting toward the coil. The coil includes an insulator covering outside of a conductor, a resistance layer formed on a surface of the insulator and contacting the core, and at least one potential grading layer formed on a surface of the insulator adjacent to the resistance layer. A boundary between the resistance layer and potential grading layer is provided at a position farther from the core than a point on a surface of the coil, where a distance between the coil and a shoulder of the electromagnetic shield closest to the core is the shortest.

Abstract: A laminating apparatus including a decompression chamber, a heater table provided in the decompression chamber, and a pressing member provided above the heater table in the decompression chamber. The pressing member includes an elastic sheet facing the heater table, and a supporting frame to support the elastic sheet by partitioning and to form expansion chambers for partitions, each of which makes the elastic sheet expand to the heater table side by a pressure of a fed gas.

Abstract: A thermoplastic polyurethane comprising the polymerization product of a long-chain diol, a low molecular weight chain-extender, an organic diisocyanate and a specific diol compound. The specific diol compound is represented by the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen or an alkyl radical having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are an alkylene radical having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, Y is a bivalent radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR2## wherein x is hydrogen, chlorine, bromine or a methyl radical, m and n are positive integers satisfying the formula 2.ltoreq.m+n.ltoreq.10when Y is ##STR3## or m and n are zero or positive intergers satisfying the formula 0.ltoreq.m+n.ltoreq.10when Y is ##STR4## The thermoplastic polyurethanes are suitable for producing artificial leathers having improved properties such as moderate elasticity, resistance to microorganisms, cold, stickiness and nitrogen oxide gas.

Abstract: A gasfade inhibitor for polyurethanes and cellulose acetates, said inhibitor comprising a triazine derivative expressed by the following formula ##SPC1##Wherein the symbols are defined as in the claim, and an anti-gas-fade polymer composition containing the same.
