The amount of leakage flux can be increased by providing the magnetic path member and since the windable area of the detection coil is increased, the number of turns of detection coil can be increased. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100164317 | AUTOMOTIVE ALTERNATING-CURRENT GENERATOR - An automotive generator that includes a Lundell rotor. First and second protruding portions are disposed so as to project from inner wall surfaces of portions of first and second yoke portions at root portions of first and second claw-shaped magnetic pole portions, and first and second recess portions are recessed into inner wall surfaces of portions of the first and second yoke portions that face the second and first protruding portions. In addition, a shape of a region in which the field coil is disposed is configured into a wave shape that has a cross-sectional shape in a plane that includes a central axis of the pole core that is approximately constant in a circumferential direction and that zigzags alternately in an axial direction at positions of each of the first and second claw-shaped magnetic pole portions. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100182000 | WIRE-ROPE FLAW DETECTOR - There is obtained a wire-rope flaw detector capable of realizing a high signal-to-noise ratio even in the case where only one detection coil is disposed. In the wire-rope flaw detector, there are provided a magnetizer that forms main magnetic flux in a predetermined section located along an axis direction of a wire rope ( | 07-22-2010 |

| 20090016870 | TURBOFAN ENGINE - A turbofan engine of the invention is provided with a fan first-stage moving blade for taking an air therein, and a spinner rotationally driving the fan first-stage moving blade, the spinner has a spiral blade extending spirally to an outer side in a radial direction, sucking the air from a front face of the spinner and supplying the air to the fan first-stage moving blade. Further, the fan first-stage moving blade and the spinner are integrally coupled, and the spiral blade and the fan first-stage moving blade are formed such that blade surfaces are smoothly connected. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090257943 | Method of Selective Purification of Armchair Carbon - The present invention provides a method of selectively extracting metallic armchair carbon nanotubes alone from the mixture of carbon nanotubes of mixed chiralities, wherein vacant lattice defects are removed from armchair carbon nanotubes alone using the fact that the vacant lattice defects of zigzag carbon nanotubes are hard to diffuse in the axial direction of nanotubes compared with those of armchair carbon nanotubes. Since vacant lattice defects remaining on zigzag carbon nanotubes are active, the tube structures are easily destroyed and decomposed by oxidation etc. Thus it is possible to extract armchair carbon nanotubes alone from the mixture of carbon nanotubes of mixed chiralities. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090299706 | METHOD, DEVICE, AND PROGRAM FOR SIMULATING NANO SUBSTANCE IN ELECTRIC FIELD - The present invention provides with a method for enabling a highly accurate simulation by calculating dynamical response of electrons in the electric field without using a “fitting parameter”. According to the present invention, the method for simulating a field distribution of a nano substance in an electric field comprises the step of a Fourier transform process by virtually applying a model on which a three-dimensional periodic boundary condition is imposed to the a field distribution of a nano substance in an electric field. | 12-03-2009 |
