Abstract:
Satisfactory magnet torque is achieved while avoiding a reduction in the reluctance torque generated. The rotor core is provided with a plurality of magnet slots arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotor core and a gap formed of base holes and a projecting hole. The base holes extend from both ends in the circumferential direction of each magnet slot to the outer side of the rotor core. The projecting hole projects in the circumferential direction of the rotor core from at least one of peripheral portions, opposed to each other, of the base holes provided at both of the ends of the magnet slot, when viewed in an axial direction. The projecting hole is located closer to the magnet slot than to an outer peripheral side end of the base hole.
Abstract:
A catalyst for an oxygen evolution reaction has a higher and longer-life catalytic activity than that of the conventional and expensive noble metal oxide catalysts, such as RuO2 and IrO2. An A-site ordered perovskite oxide catalyst (such as CaCu3Fe4O12 and CaMn3Mn4O12 etc.) as an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst is excellent in cost effectiveness. The catalyst has a high catalytic activity compared with a noble metal oxide catalyst, and a long repetition use life since it is extremely stable also under the oxidative reaction conditions. Use of the catalyst is expected to the important energy conversion reactions such as a charge reaction of a metal-air battery, an anode oxygen evolution reaction in the case of a direct water decomposition reaction by sunlight, etc.

The sensor detects a microorganism on the basis of the captured state of the microorganism onto the template. The polymer layer is formed by a manufacturing method including a polymerization step of polymerizing a monomer in the presence of the microorganism to be detected to form a polymer layer having the microorganism incorporated therein on the detection electrode, and a disruption step of bringing at least a part of the microorganism incorporated in the polymer layer into contact with a solution containing a lytic enzyme to disrupt the microorganism.
