Abstract: A thinned DC brushless motor (50) has a base plate 52 of magnetic material, a rotatable shaft (58) supported perpendicular to the base plate, an annular hub (68) coaxially fixed on the shaft, a stator (60) fixed on the base plate, and a rotor (70) coaxially fixed on the shaft through the annular hub. The rotor (70) includes an first wall portion (72) extended radially from the shaft above the stator and parallel to the base plate and a second wall portion (74) extended from a peripheral edge of the circular potion towards the base plate to enclose the stator. An annular magnet (78) is fixed on an inner surface of the second wall of the rotor with leaving a small gap from a peripheral edge of the stator. The upper wall has a bent portion (80) extended outward away from the annular magnet in the vicinity of an inner edge of the annular magnet.

Abstract: A spindle motor includes a printed wiring board. A stator is fixed to the printed wiring board. A housing is fixed to the printed wiring board. A bearing is provided on the housing. A rotor shaft is rotatably supported by the bearing. A hub base is mounted on the rotor shaft. A stator winding provided on the stator is bonded to the printed wiring board. The stator may have an inner circumferential portion formed with a plurality of grooves. In this case, it is preferable that the printed wiring board has a plurality of through holes at positions corresponding to positions of the grooves in the stator.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing ester includes an esterification device, a neutralization device connected to the esterification device, a distillation device connected to the neutralization device, a container connected to the distillation device for storing ester distilled by the distillation device, a filter casing connected to the container, and a ceramic filter set in the filter casing for filtering the distilled ester in a cross flow manner.

Abstract: A ceramic filter comprising a support layer having an inner surface for forming at least one filter passage, and a filter layer coated on the inner surface of the support layer and having an inner surface functioning as a filter surface, the filter layer having a thickness of 10 to 40 microns from the filter surface, a cumulative intrusion volume of all pores in the filter layer being 0.2 cc/g or less, a cumulative intrusion volume of pores having pore diameters of 0.1 to 3.0 microns being 0.1 cc/g or more, and a cumulative intrusion volume (H) of the pores ranging within a pore diameter width (W) of 0.1 microns around a center pore diameter (PD) which is a pore diameter in case of a half of a cumulative intrusion volume (IV) at a pore diameter of 0.1 microns being 50% or more of a cumulative intrusion volume of all pores in the filter layer.

Abstract: An apparatus for filtering a liquid, includes supplying a starting liquid from a container to a passage of a pipe-like filter set in a filter casing, passing the starting liquid through the passage of the filter thereby to produce the filtrate, sending back the unfiltered liquid to the container, and back washing the filter by means of a hydraulic pressure device having a piston movable in a cylinder in such a manner that the filtrate is moved by the piston of the hydraulic device.

Abstract: A process for separating of solid-liquid compositions, comprises providing a liquid to be filtered in a liquid container, circulating the liquid through the liquid container, through a ceramic filter and through a liquid cyclone, filtering fine particles contained in the liquid by the ceramic filter and separating aggregates or coarse particles contained in the liquid by the liquid cyclone. An apparatus for carrying out the process is also disclosed.

Abstract: A process for gas dissolution which uses a vessel, a portion wall made of ceramic material for dividing the vessel into a first chamber and a second chamber, a first inlet of the vessel for introducing a liquid into the first chamber, a second inlet of the vessel for introducing a pressurized gas into the second chamber, and a discharge port of the vessel for discharging the liquid from the first chamber.

Abstract: An electric discharge machine includes a clean work fluid tank for storing a clean work fluid and a work tank connected to the clean work fluid tank for receiving and storing the work fluid. An electric discharge is designed to occur through a small space between two charged electrodes, which are a workpiece and a tool, so that at each discharge a small amount of workpiece material is removed, producing particles which are suspended in the work fluid. A settling tank is connected to the work tank that receives and stores the work fluid and a filter container containing a ceramic filter is connected between the clean work fluid tank and the settling tank, so that the work fluid which is supplied from the settling tank passes through the ceramic filter and so that work fluid which has not been filtered is sent back to the settling tank.

Abstract: A method comprising passing a culture solution including Bacillus subtilis or gene-recombinated Bacillus thereof through a pipe-like ceramic filter at a flow rate of 2 m/sec or less, the ceramic filter having a filter layer at an inner cylindrical surface thereof, the filter layer being made of spherical particles, and a surface roughness (Rmax) of the inner surface of the ceramic filter being 10 microns or less.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for manufacturing a shaped active carbon by using a one step phenol-formaldehyde resin, a modified phenol-formaldehyde resin or a mixture thereof as a binder. By this method, a shaped active carbon can be obtained having increased mechanical strength without deterioration of the adsorption capacity.
