Abstract: A displacement type compressor includes a compressing mechanism section for performing a compression, a motor for driving the compressing mechanism section, and a crankshaft adapted to be driven in rotation by the motor to rotate the compressing mechanism section. The motor includes stator cores and having claw-type magnetic poles formed of a magnetic powder and circumferentially arranged in alternately meshed states, and annular coils and wound in a toric shape around the claw-type magnetic poles. Thus, the displacement type compressor is capable of being at a high speed and has a reduced size.

Abstract: A high-performance hermetic type compressor in which the influence of a cylinder bore deformation caused during assembly is reduced and the sealing tightness between a piston and a cylinder block is improved. A bore hole in the cylinder block has a hollow portion. Depth H1 of the hollow portion is larger than thickness H2 of compression space V at the moment when the pressure in the compression space V reaches the discharge pressure level Pd.

Abstract: A spindle motor having a bearing housing and a thrust bearing fitted in the bearing housing at the lower end of the latter, in which an inclined part is formed on the outer peripheral edge at the lower end of the thrust bearing, and the outer diameter part of the thrust bearing is fitted in a coupling bore formed in the end surface of the bearing housing, the end surface of the bearing housing being pressed uniformly in the axial direction over the entire circumference around the coupling bore to cause the bearing housing to plastically flow around the coupling bore in order to cover the above-mentioned inclined part of the thrust bearing. The above-mentioned covering part formed in the bearing housing through plastic flow can exhibit a high bonding strength between the bearing housing and the thrust bearing in the spindle motor without deteriorating the sealing ability of the spindle motor, due to a shearing force and a residual contact pressure of the covering part.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus of stuff synchronization frame control which can realize great improvement in the power of error resistance of the stuff synchronization control bit when there occur so many erroneous stuff synchronization control bits that cannot be repaired even by the majority process in a radio section. Radio-side and network-side clocks from the clock counters 11 and 12 are compared by the comparator 13, and the comparison result is inputted into the register 14. On an entry of a new stuff synchronization control bit into the register 14, the stuff synchronization control bit in the frame immediately before the entry is stored in the register 15. The multiplexer 16 multiplexes the stuff synchronization control bit together with transmission data for transmission. The separator 21 receives the data separated from the received data, in the received data buffer 22.

Abstract: Spray coating is performed utilizing a mixture of refractory material and a combustionable metal powder. The size of the particle of the metal in the mixture is selected so that the particle size is large enough to be treated safely and is small enough to be transported by means of a gas flow. As a carrier gas for carrying the mixture, a non-combustionable gas or fuel gas is used. A fuel gas and a combustion-assisting gas are discharged toward the section to be treated on the surface for directing a combustioning frame. The refractor material with the carrier gas is discharged into the frame established by the fuel gas and the combustion-assisting gas. The average size of the metal particle to be used in the spray coating is limited to be greater than 50 .mu.m. By enlarging the particle size of the metal, combustion of the metal particle becomes difficult. Combustion of such large particle size metal can be assisted by discharging the combustion-assisting gas together with the fuel gas.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for continuous casting of an elongated thin metal strip achieves substantially high yield without allowing break-out or sticking. The method for casting a continuous elongated metal strip includes a step of driving endless belts at a varying speed so as to apply jerks to the slightly and half-solidified metal that release the metal from the surfaces of the stationary side walls. Applying jerks to the casting chamber by varying the driving speed of the endless belt ensures that the solidifying metal will travel smoothly and thus ensures a high manufacturing yield.
