Abstract: A stator is compatible with a variety of wiring configurations and possesses excellent versatility, while also preventing an increase in the size of a busbar unit. The stator includes a plurality of stator segments joined together to assume a cylindrical shape. Each stator segment includes a core segment including a core back portion and a tooth portion; a coil including a pair of coil wire terminals; an insulating layer arranged between the coil and the tooth portion; and a resin layer arranged to have the entire coil except for the coil wire terminals embedded therein. The resin layers of the stator segments include a supporting structure defined therein to allow a wiring member to be connected with any of the coil wire terminals to be attached to and removed from the stator.

Abstract: An electrolytic treatment method and electrolytic treatment device are provided for electrolytic treatment of an aluminum web W by applying an alternating current to an upstream electrode and a downstream electrode disposed along a conveying direction a. At least one of a conveying velocity v of the aluminum web W, a frequency f of alternating current applied at the upstream electrode and the downstream electrode, and/or a web conveying direction separation distance d2 between the upstream electrode and the downstream electrode are set such that the alternating current and voltage waveform applied to the aluminum web W at the far end of the upstream electrode and the alternating current and voltage waveform applied to the aluminum web W at the near end of the downstream electrode do not reinforce each other.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an electrolysis apparatus that can prevent formation of surface defects such as white bands on an obtained aluminum support for a planographic printing plate even when electrolyzing an aluminum strip at a high current density while conveying the aluminum strip at a high conveyance velocity.

Abstract: A method of treating an acid treatment solution which includes steps of adding sulfuric acid to an acid treatment solution which contains therein non-alkaline metal ions to produce sulfate, and recovering the regenerated acid treatment solution from the acid treatment solution to which the sulfuric acid has been added by separating the sulfate therefrom. Also, a device for realizing the method, and a method of fabricating a support for a planographic printing plate using the same.

Abstract: This invention provides an apparatus and a method capable of electrolyzing a metal web at a high treating speed and high current density without a problem of uneven treatment, which a metal web is wound, arc-shaped electrodes allocated on the outside of the drum roller concentrically with a space, and an electrolytic solution put in the space, wherein the drum roller is made movable in the vertical direction, and a method using the apparatus.

Abstract: This invention provides an apparatus for electrolytic treatment capable of removing the ununiformity according to the frequency and can achieve high treating speed and high current density treatment, which comprises etching a metal web electrolytically using alternating waveform current continuously, wherein a frequency-variable means having an ability to vary frequency of an electric power supply of said alternating waveform current arbitrarily is provided, and a method therefor.
