A method of preheating an unfinished stator as an intermediate product before a stator as a final product for a motor is provided in order to preheat a mold for molding together with the unfinished stator in short time by using preheating facilities with simplified structures. In the method, the mold has a hollow and longitudinal barrel portion and a flange portion extending outward from an end of the barrel portion. The flange portion is arranged at a horizontal position to turn the barrel portion upward and an end of a cylindrical and longitudinal frame is put on the flange portion in a state where a core of the unfinished stator is fitted in the frame. A heat-resistant box of which an underside is opened covers the frame and the mold to surrounded outsides of the frame and the mold.

Method of preheating unfinished stator

A case having a stator fixed to an inside surface of a peripheral wall portion can be inserted into a tire house of a vehicle from an outside o in an axial direction. An inside of a hollow portion of the case can receive, by insertion thereinto, a brake disc and a brake caliper of the vehicle. A rotor includes: a rotor coupling portion that can be coupled to a drive wheel coupling portion of the vehicle; a rotor frame extending outside in a radial direction at an axially outer position than the brake caliper in a state in which the rotor coupling portion is coupled to the drive wheel coupling portion; a rotor circumferential wall portion connected to a radially outside end of the rotor frame, and extending axially inside from a connecting portion with the radially outside end; and a magnet fixed to the rotor circumferential wall portion.

Load motor for chassis dynamometer apparatus

A chassis dynamometer for a vehicle has a base seat, a fixed shaft having one end thereof attached to the base seat, a rotary proximal portion rotatably supported to the fixed shaft, a roller connected to the rotary proximal portion, for loading a wheel of a vehicle, and a motor connected to the roller so that power can be transmitted therebetween. The roller has a single flange portion connected to the rotary proximal portion and extending obliquely to the axis, and an outer peripheral portion extending both axial directions from an outer periphery of the flange portion and disposed outward in the radial direction of the motor.

Chassis dynamometer

Provided is a printing apparatus including: a medium transporting unit configured to transport a printing target medium; a sheet traveling unit configured to allow a thermal transfer sheet, in which a color material layer and a protection layer are formed on a sheet in a line along a travel direction, to travel; a printing unit configured to sequentially and thermally transfer the color material layer and the protection layer onto the printing target medium by applying thermal energy to the printing target medium and the thermal transfer sheet which are sandwiched by the printing unit; and a pressure changing mechanism configured to change the sandwiching force acting on the printing target medium and the thermal transfer sheet so as to have a relationship of force P&#x3c;force P

Printing apparatus and thermal transfer printing method

A charged particle beam drawing apparatus forms a map having meshes, forms representative figures, area of each representative figure in each mesh being equal to gross area of figures in each mesh, and calculates a proximity effect correction dose of the charged particle beam in each mesh on the basis of area of each representative figure in each mesh. If it is necessary to change the proximity effect correction dose of the charged particle beam for drawing at least one pattern corresponding to at least one figure, the charged particle beam drawing apparatus changes area of the at least one figure before the representative figures are formed by a representative figure forming portion, and changes the proximity effect correction dose of the charged particle beam for drawing the at least one pattern corresponding to the at least one figure, calculated by a proximity effect correction dose calculating portion.

Charged particle beam drawing apparatus and proximity effect correction method thereof

A chassis dynamometer for a vehicle has a motor having a rotor, rollers configured to be operably connected to wheels of the vehicle, a flange portion extending inward in a radial direction from each of the rollers, and a rotor bracket for supporting the rotor of the motor. The flange portion and the rotor bracket are connected via a torque meter capable of measuring at least an outer peripheral tangential force of the roller.

An image transcription method of transcribing an image of the dye on a printing sheet outputted by e.g., a video printer onto a substrate for transcription, such as a cup of pottery or the like. For transcription, a resin is coated on the surface of the substrate for transcription to form a reception layer. This reception layer is dried in an electrical oven to form a support for transcription. A printing sheet carrying an image of a sublimable dye is stacked on the reception layer of the support for transcription and pressured to the reception layer under application of heat and pressure. As the resin for the reception layer, the acrylic resin or the epoxy resin or both are employed. If the resin composed mainly of the acrylic resin is employed, the viscosity of the resin is set to 43 to 52 seconds in terms of the Ford cup viscosity, and the resin discharge pressure from a spray gun is set to 35 kg/m &plusmn;0.01 kg.cm . The distance between the spray gun and the substrate for transcription is set to 100 mm&plusmn;5 mm, while the drying temperature is 170 to 180&deg; C. The thickness of the reception layer is 10 to 50 &mgr;m. After transcribing the image of the sublimable dye to the reception layer, a transparent film is bonded, if necessary, as a protective film on the reception layer.

A holder for roll-type print media and a roll-type print media cassette, for easing replacement of a roll, including a printing apparatus capable of detecting the presence of a roll-type print media. The holder and cassette include supporting means for supporting the roll-type print media rotatively and regulating means for regulating the unwinding of the print media. The printing apparatus includes print media supporting means for supporting the roll-type print media rotatively such that the position of the axis of rotation is fixed. A contact sensor for detecting the presence of roll-type print media is also provided.

A buffer (4) has a read and write control (8, 7), an input (6), an output (5), and a transfer port (9). An SCSI interface (20) is coupled to port (9) and the read/write control (8, 7). The SCSI interface (20) implements transfer commands for transfers via the port 9 with an undefined delay. An RS 422 interface is coupled to the read/write control (8) and implements transfer commands for transfers via the input 6 and output 5, the commands being implemented with a small, defined delay synchronously with a video sync signal (SYNC).
