Abstract: A method of preventing a high-frequency noise generated in an electronic device, remaining in a grounding cable as a standing wave and transmitted to electric devices, is disclosed, which method including disposing, directly or via an insulating layer, a non-metallic conductive material having a slight electric resistance, on a conductor of the above-mentioned grounding cable, making the electric resistance of the non-metallic conductive material consume the high-frequency noise flowing on the conductor surface of the grounding cable by virtue of a skin effect, whereby resonance of the high-frequency noise is reduced. Resonance of the high-frequency noise generated from various electronic devices in an office building and the like can be easily reduced. Consequently, various disadvantages due to high-frequency noise can be avoided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotating electric machine including a coil of a wire having thereon an insulating coating comprising a polybenzimidazole. This rotating electric machine is stably maintained for a long time in dielectric strength even under a highly radioactive environment, due to the use of the special insulating coating. With this, the rotating electric machine can be driven stably for a long time. The invention further relates to another rotating electric machine including (a) a rotor having a rotating shaft; (b) a bearing for supporting the rotating shaft; and (c) a grease applied to the bearing. This grease contains (1) a polyphenyl ether having at least three aromatic rings in the molecule and (2) a urea. The rotor of this rotating electric machine is stably supported in the bearing for a long time even under a highly radioactive environment, due to the use of the special grease. Thus, this rotating electric machine can also be rotated stably for a long time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotating electric machine including (a) a rotor having a rotating shaft; (b) a bearing for supporting the rotating shaft; (c) a radiation resistant grease applied to the bearing; and (d) a shield layer for shielding the grease from radiation. The shield layer is made of lead and surrounds the bearing. The shield layer includes (1) a first cylindrical shield member that is positioned to cover the bearing, such that the bearing is shielded from a first radiation that is in a direction substantially perpendicular to an axis of the rotating shaft, and (2) second and third disk shield members that are positioned to interpose therebetween the bearing in a direction along the axis of the rotating shaft, such that the bearing is shielded from a second radiation that is in a direction substantially along the axis of the rotating shaft. Thus, the rotor of this rotating electric machine is stably supported in the bearing for a long time even under a highly radioactive environment.

Abstract: The electrical impedance of a dumbbell-shaped rubber sheet (1) is measured, and the deterioration of the dumbbell-shaped rubber sheet (1) is detected from the result of the measurement. The present invention relates to a method of detecting a change in the property of a rubber member or a rubber member of a rubber bearing, such as a change in the shape or dimensions thereof, a change in the state of the stress and strain thereof, deterioration thereof, and the like.
