  • Publication number: 20230231432
    Abstract: A motor (100) includes a stator (6) having a plurality of tooth portions (7), a coil (9) wound around the tooth portions (7), and a slot (8) in which the coil (9) is formed between the tooth portions (7), in which the coil (9) is provided in the slot (8), and a cooling structure for the motor (100) includes a first resin composition with which the slot (8) is filled and which covers the coil (9), and a coil inner side cooling flow path (10) which is provided in a region filled with the first resin composition and extends in a rotating shaft direction, and in which a coolant circulates inside.

  • Publication number: 20050117766
    Abstract: A speaker unit in which an open end of each of acoustic tubes is disposed on an upper surface of a casing is produced. The speaker unit is mounted inside a seat, for example, to an upper position of an inside of a backrest of the seat via a connecting member or the like. Thereby, the open ends of the acoustic tubes are disposed at a position near both ears of a seated person. Since low-frequency sound can be reproduced to an area near both the ears of the seated person, so much output sound pressure level of the drive speaker is not needed. Therefore, a drive speaker of a small bore diameter can be applied to the speaker unit, and the speaker unit itself can be made compact and light. The speaker unit is mounted inside the backrest of the seat, for example, and it is not necessary to take the trouble to ensure a place for placing the speaker unit around the seat.

  • Publication number: 20050117767
    Abstract: A speaker unit in which an open end of each of acoustic tubes is disposed on an upper surface of a casing is produced. The speaker unit is mounted outside a seat, for example, to an upper position of a backface side of a backrest of the seat via a connecting member or the like. Thereby, the open ends of the acoustic tubes are disposed at a position near both ears of a seated person. Since low-frequency sound can be reproduced to an area near both the ears of the seated person, so much output sound pressure level of the drive speaker is not needed.

  • Publication number: 20030090773
    Abstract: A lighting reflection apparatus is provided, which improves controllability and sensitivity in changing or controlling an outgoing light characteristic. A reflector is composed of a substrate made of a film-like polyimide molded item shaped using only a difference between pressures applied from respective surfaces of a film-like item while subjecting the film-like item to plasticization with non-contact heating and having in itself a power of maintaining a three-dimensional shape independently or in the form of a single layer, and a reflection surface formed on an inner surface of the substrate. Then, outgoing light is changed or controlled by causing elastic deformation in the reflector by pressing the reflector with pressing means. Since the reflection surface of the reflector is formed by complete non-contact method, it is so smooth that sensitivity in controlling the outgoing light can be improved. Also, since the reflector made of an elastic film is deformed, satisfactory controllability can be attained.

  • Patent number: 4630303
    Abstract: A speaker system for automotive car stereo sets, includes a high range unit, a low range unit and a body for receiving the high range unit and the low range unit. The high range unit is movable to a desired height with respect to a retracted position. Upon the movement of the high range unit, a slant angle of the high range unit is varied so that a sound generated from the high range unit is directed to a driver or passenger sitting on his seat.

  • Patent number: 4206830
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a speaker system for mounting in a vehicle wherein a passive radiator is provided in the interior of the speaker system. The speaker system is mounted on the rear window tray or shelf of the vehicle so that the radiating surface of the passive radiator faces the rear glass window of the vehicle to thereby produce a horn effect. Due to the horn effect, the lower sound spectrum is fully reproduced.
