  • Patent number: 11316412
    Abstract: A motor includes an annular sensor magnet rotated integrally with a rotation shaft of a rotor by a bushing, and a rotation detector arranged opposed to the sensor magnet to detect rotation information of the rotor. The bushing includes an annular fixing portion, which is fixed to the rotation shaft, and an extension, which extends from the fixing portion in an axial direction of the rotation shaft and is embedded in the sensor magnet. The extension includes an axial engagement portion engaged with the sensor magnet in the axial direction inside the sensor magnet.

  • Patent number: 8198768
    Abstract: A motor including electrical components laid out to avoid enlargement of the motor. The motor includes a rotor, a cylindrical housing including a closed end and an open end and accommodating the rotor, and an end bracket fixed to the housing to close the open end and including a connector support. Two power supply terminals extend to the connector support. A noise prevention element includes a connection terminal connected to the power supply terminals. A rotation detector detects rotation of the rotor and includes a detector body. The noise prevention element is arranged between the two power supply terminals. The detector body and the noise prevention element are arranged at a portion of the end bracket closer to the connector support and aligned in an axial direction of the motor.

  • Patent number: 8190231
    Abstract: A sentinel lymph node detecting apparatus 1 includes: an excitation light source unit 2 that illuminates an excitation light 10 onto a living body observation portion 20 including a sentinel lymph node 21 near a tumor into which a fluorescent dye that emits fluorescence is injected; an optical filter 3 that transmits a fluorescence image 11; an image pickup device 4 that is integral with excitation light source unit 2 and picks up fluorescence image 11 transmitted through optical filter 3; an adjusting device 5 that adjusts the picked-up observation image; and an image displaying device 6 that displays the adjusted observation image. Adjusting device 5 adjusts at least one of a luminance and a contrast of the observation image. A lymph node detecting apparatus that is simple in apparatus arrangement, is easy to handle, and enables good images to be obtained is thereby realized.
