Abstract: A vehicle drive system includes a motor (drive motor), a generator, a reduction drive that reduces output of the motor, and a housing. At a position above a motor shaft, an oil passage, through which oil is supplied to each of the motor, the reduction drive, and the generator, is integrally formed with the housing. An oil pipe is attached to the housing and supplies the oil from an oil reservoir to the oil passage. At a position between the motor and the generator, the reduction drive is offset from the motor shaft in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. The oil pipe is located between the motor and the generator in the first direction, and at least part of the oil pipe is located on an opposite side of the reduction drive with the motor shaft being interposed therebetween in the second direction.

Abstract: A power train support structure includes a first front side frame disposed on one of left and right sides of a power train; a second front side frame disposed on the other of the left and right sides of the power train, and being greatly away from the power train with respect to the first front side frame; a mounting bracket having one of left and right ends connected to the power train; and a connecting member for connecting the mounting bracket and the second front side frame. The mounting bracket includes a front fixing portion and a rear fixing portion to be fixed to the power train. A strength of the front fixing portion and the rear fixing portion is set to such a strength that the rear fixing portion is broken by a collision load from a front side, and the front fixing portion is not broken.

Abstract: Provided is a high-productivity, compact vapor phase growth apparatus 1. This vapor phase growth apparatus 1 is configured to supply a raw material gas onto a substrate 5 placed in a chamber 2 that can be vertically divided into a chamber main body 3 and a chamber cover 4 to cause a thin film to grow on the substrate 5.

Abstract: Disclosed is a rotation/revolution type vapor phase growth apparatus capable of increasing the area of a semiconductor thin film that can be vapor-phase grown at a time, without upsizing a susceptor or the like. The vapor phase growth apparatus is a horizontal vapor phase growth apparatus having a rotation/revolution mechanism and includes a bearing member 13 provided in a circular opening formed on a disk-shaped susceptor 12, a soaking plate 14 mounted rotatably on the bearing member, an external gear member 15 mounted on the soaking plate, a ring-shaped fixed internal gear member 17 including an internal gear engaged with the external gear member, a heating unit 19 for heating a substrate 18 retained on the external gear member from a backside of the susceptor, and a flow channel 20 for guiding a raw material gas in a direction parallel to a surface of the substrate.
