20120007460STATOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING UNIT COIL TO BE USED THEREIN - A stator includes a stator core and a distributed winding type multi-phase coil. This coil includes unit coils made by winding a flat conductor wire in plural turns. The unit coils are mounted in slots of the stator core and connected with each other. Each unit coil includes an outer-layer coil and an inner-layer coil each being concentrically wound. Those two layer coils are made of a single continuous flat conductor wire. A winding start portion of the outer-layer coil and a winding end portion of the inner-layer coil form first and second connection end portions of the unit coil respectively. The first and second connection end portions are located separately on both edges of the unit coil above an upper end face of the stator core. The first connection end portion is placed close to an inner circumference of the stator core and the second connection end portion is placed close to an outer circumference of the stator core. The first connection end portions of the adjacent unit coils constituting the same phase are connected with each other. The second connection end portions of the adjacent unit coils constituting the same phase are connected with each other.01-12-2012
20120025658STATOR - To provide a stator capable of achieving downsizing and high output power and a stator manufacturing method, a stator comprises a split stator core including teeth and slots formed between the teeth, and protrusion-formed coils each being made of a flat rectangular conductor and placed in the slots. Each protrusion-formed coil has a shape including, in a coil end portion, a lead-side protrusion or a non-lead-side protrusion formed to protrude upward in an axial direction of the stator core from a first oblique side portion, a second oblique side portion, a third oblique side portion, and a fourth oblique side portion, and a first oblique side portion, a second oblique side portion, a third oblique side portion, and a fourth oblique side portion. The lead-side protrusion or the non-lead-side protrusion is designed with a height to avoid interference between the protrusion-formed coils placed in the stator core.02-02-2012

20090183706ENGINE START CONTROL APPARATUS AND ENGINE START CONTROL METHOD - When cranking is started, a control unit of an ECU determines an advance amount by which an intake valve closing timing is advanced from a fully retarded position toward a bottom dead center, and transmits the determined advance amount to a variable valve timing mechanism. After cranking is started, the control unit determines that there is an abnormality in the variable valve timing mechanism, when the advance amount is larger than 0, and when an actual intake valve closing timing, determined using an intake cam angle from a cam angle sensor and a crank angle from a crank angle sensor, is not advanced from the fully retarded position. When it is determined that there is an abnormality in the variable valve timing mechanism, the control unit outputs a control signal to an inverter to increase an output torque of a motor, which is a driving source for cranking.07-23-2009

20090084147ELECTRIC LOCK DEVICE - An electric lock device which can be used suitably regardless of an operation mode of a thumb-turn. In the electric lock device, components to be placed at a peripheral part of the thumb-turn are miniaturized by separating a control device and an electric power supply, which require a comparatively large space, from a thumb-turn cover. The electric lock device includes a cover device internally having a motor and a thumb-turn cover, a control device internally having a control part, and a power supply part built-in the control device for supplying power to the control device and the motor. Therefore, the cover device can be more compactified than that of a conventional electric lock device in which the control part and the power supply part are integrally placed with the thumb-turn cover and the motor. The cover device can be attached proximity to a thumb-turn without being protruded from a door.04-02-2009

20090285745Method for Production of Carbon Nanotube and Method for Purification of the Same - The present invention provides a method for producing a carbon nanotube having a high purity and a method for purifying an unpurified carbon nanotube or a carbon nanotube having a low purity. The method for producing a carbon nanotube comprises a step of providing a carbonaceous material containing a carbon nanotube and a step of adding an iron material and hydrogen peroxide to the carbonaceous material to thereby purity a carbon nanotube. It is preferred that an iron powder is used as the iron material. The iron powder is preferably used in a proportion of 0.5 to 20 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the whole carbonaceous material.11-19-2009
20120009344PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING COMPOSITE MATERIAL - A process and an apparatus for producing a composite material utilize a rotatable hollow body that is inclined with an upstream side being higher than a downstream side. A reaction zone is defined within an elongated chamber in the hollow body. Protrusions inwardly extend from an inner peripheral wall of the hollow body adjacent to the reaction zone. Base material is input into the chamber via a base material introduction port and a carbon source vapor is input into the chamber via a carbon source supply port. A heater heats the reaction zone to a temperature at which carbon nanotubes form on the base material from the carbon source vapor. The protrusions catch base material disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the hollow body when the hollow body rotates and then drop the base material through the reaction zone so that the base material contacts the carbon source vapor.01-12-2012
