Abstract: A compressor includes a shading motor as a power source, and is provided with a discharge port that discharges compressed air generated by driving the shading motor. The shading motor includes a stator that is made of a soft magnetic material and has an apparent volume of 78000 mm3 or less. A load reduction mechanism reduces a load applied to the shading motor by suppressing a pressure increase in the flow path over a period from a first time point at which the shading motor starts driving to a second time point at which the rotation speed of a rotor reaches a predetermined rotation speed.

Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a high-density artificial graphite electrode without substantially changing a particle size or a proportion of needle coke used, increasing an amount of binder pitch, or performing extrusion molding at a high molding pressure. The method for manufacturing a high-density artificial graphite electrode is kneading binder pitch into needle coke, performing extrusion molding thereof, and then calcining and graphitizing thereof, wherein needle coke obtained by performing coke shape changing treatment for at least some of pulverized needle coke to be used, thereby increasing a ratio of an enveloping perimeter/a perimeter by 1% or more as compared with a value before the changing is used. Here, the enveloping perimeter is a length of a perimeter when apexes of convex portions of the pulverized needle coke are connected to each other via the shortest distance, and the perimeter is a length of a perimeter of a particle.
