Abstract:
A compressor which includes a piston (150) reciprocating in a cylinder bore (111) provided in a cylinder block. Length of the circumferential surface at the compression load side (160) is made to be longer than that at the anti-compression load side (170), so that area of sliding-contact surface at the compression load side is greater than that at the anti-compression load side. The above configuration is effective to prevent occurrence of wearing due to unsymmetrical contact of piston with cylinder bore. Thus, deterioration in the refrigeration capability and instability of the performance is prevented.
Abstract:
An apparatus for accurately inspecting an electroconductive film using an eddy current and an apparatus for production of an optical fiber which measures on-line the electrical resistance, which shows the state of formation of the electroconductive hermetic coating of the optical fiber by an electroconductive film inspection method and reflects back the measurement results to the hermetic coating forming conditions. Optical fiber is made up of a core, a cladding, amorphous carbon film or other electroconductive hermetic coating formed on the outer surface of the cladding, and a protective coating. The electrical resistance of the hermetic coating generates an eddy current at the coating, the eddy current generated is detected, and the phase angle of the complex impedance is detected to enable calculation. In particular, to accurately detect the phase angle, the high frequency current for generating the eddy current is changed by a low frequency of about 1/100th of the high frequency to change the average intensity and obtain at least two points of measurement defining the above phase angle. The electrical resistance of the hermetic coating is calculated from this phase angle. The electrical resistance shows the state of formation of the hermetic coating. The measurement value of the electrical resistance of the hermetic coating is used for setting the hermetic coating production conditions. The electroconductive film inspection method of the present invention may also be used for quality control etc. of thin films.
Abstract:
An optical fiber soot synthesis apparatus which synthesizes around a fiber starting member forming a core of an optical fiber an optical fiber soot forming a cladding and which accurately calculates in real time the mass of the optical fiber soot when deposited so as to control the synthesis of the optical fiber soot. The optical fiber soot synthesis apparatus measures the weight of the rotating fiber starting member and optical fiber soot by a pair of soot weight detection sensors arranged at a fiber starting member support and rotational drive mechanisms divided so as to prevent the weight of the rotational drive mechanisms from having much of an effect. The computation and control apparatus performs operational processing from the measured weights and calculates the mass of only the optical fiber soot synthesized on the fiber starting member in real time. The computation and calculation apparatus refers to the calculated mass to control the synthesis of the optical fiber soot.

A method comprises a calibration curve creation step in which a calibration curve is created on the basis of hardened surface layer depth. A destructive test is performed on one of two samples in pairs, and propagation time of a first peak of a first wave of waveform of a signal outputted with the other in pairs in a non-destructive test is determined, the samples in pairs being prepared such that carburization depth varies gradually from pair to pair. A waveform of a signal outputted with a to-be-inspected piece is obtained. The propagation time of a first peak of a first wave of the waveform of the signal output with the to-be-inspected piece is obtained, and the hardened surface layer depth of the to-be-inspected piece is obtained using the calibration curve, on the basis of the propagation time obtained with the to-be-inspected sample.

A compressing unit of a hermetic compressor includes a suction valve placed at an opening of a compressing room and a suction muffler. The muffler includes a suction muffler body which forms a sound-deadening space, a first communicating path which communicates with the suction valve and with the sound-deadening space, and a second communicating path which communicates with a hermetic container and with the sound-deadening space. An opening, situated in the sound-deadening space, of the first communicating path, and an opening, situated in the sound-deadening space, of the second communicating path are both open in the same direction. In addition, a sound-insulating wall is disposed on the wall of the muffler body at a place at least confronting both of the openings. This structure achieves low noise and high efficiency.
