Abstract:
A rotating electric machine of an embodiment includes a stator, a rotor, a housing, and a cover member. The stator includes a stator core and a coil. The stator core includes a core back portion. The core back portion has an annular shape centered on a center axis. The coil is attached to the stator core. The coil is located on the radially inside of the core back portion. The coil includes a coil straight portion and a pair of coil end portions. The coil straight portion extends in a straight line shape along the axial direction. The pair of coil end portions respectively protrude in the axial direction from both axial end surfaces of the stator core. The cover member includes a first cover portion. The first cover portion contacts one coil end portion so that the coil end portion is bent toward an inner peripheral surface of the housing and is brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the housing.

An apparatus according to embodiments detects locations of faults in a multilayer semiconductor (MLS). The apparatus comprises a laser source that outputs a laser beam, an optical system that directs the laser beam selectively onto a target region in the MLS to generate an irradiated zone in the MLS, a stage and a scanner that control a relative position between the irradiated zone and the MLS so that the irradiated zone moves along the target region, a controller system that measures electrical signals or electrical signal changes induced by a temperature increase in the MLS, and identifies a location of the target region and locations of faults in the MLS based on the measured electrical signal or the measured electrical signal changes. The target region is made of a material of which thermal conductivity is higher than that of a material around the target region and has a structure penetrating from shallow layers to deep layers of the MLS

A paper feeding device of an embodiment includes a paper feed tray, a blower, and a flow regulating member. A paper bundle in which a plurality of sheets of paper are stacked can be placed on the paper feed tray. The blower is positioned next to the paper bundle placed on the paper feed tray. The blower can generate airflow. The flow regulating member is positioned above the paper bundle placed on the paper feed tray. The airflow from the blower causes the flow regulating member to generate a negative pressure between the flow regulating member and the uppermost sheet of paper of the paper bundle.

Abstract:
An information processing device according to an embodiment includes a processor connected to a memory. The processor serves to identify, as resonant frequency of components of a structure, frequency of first-type peaks included in a first-type transfer function waveform representing relationship between amplitude and frequency of output vibration. The output vibration occurs in the components of the structure when the structure is subjected to sweep excitation. The processor serves to calculate a vibration propagation path along which input vibration having the resonant frequency propagates when applied to the structure. The vibration propagation path is calculated based on frequency and half width of second-type peaks included in a second-type transfer function waveform representing relationship between amplitude and frequency of output vibration. The output vibration occurs in at least part of the components of the structure when the input vibration is applied to the structure for a predetermined vibration excitation duration.
