  • Publication number: 20100296950
    Abstract: A compressor includes a hermetic container, a compression mechanism section disposed in the hermetic container, and a motor disposed in the hermetic container to drive the compression mechanism section. The motor has a rotor and a stator disposed so as to surround an outer periphery of the rotor. The stator includes a stator core and oil passage grooves. The stator core has a hollow circular cylindrical section and a plurality of circumferentially arranged teeth protruding radially inward from an outer peripheral surface of the hollow circular cylindrical section. The oil passage grooves are located radially outside of the teeth. The oil passage grooves are formed by cutting an outer peripheral surface of the hollow circular cylindrical section.

  • Patent number: 7061873
    Abstract: In this invention, wireless video telephone communication between mobile telephones MS1 and MS2 using the MPEG-2 standard is performed when the reception field strength falls below a threshold value of H continuously for a specific period of T3 or longer in the course of receiving the data at one mobile telephone MS2, the telephone MS2 monitors the restoration of the reception field strength. After detecting the restoration, mobile telephone MS2 transmits a request for the transmission of an I frame to mobile telephone MS1. Upon receipt of the request, mobile telephone MS1 creates an I frame in place of a P frame and transmits the I frame.
