Abstract: a motor may include a rotor; a stator including a stator core and a coil; a housing that houses the rotor and the stator; and a first annular member that provides a seal between a first end face of the stator core in an axial direction of the stator core and an inner wall surface of the housing. the first annular member may be arranged so as to surround an outer periphery of a first coil end. the first annular member may include first holes through which refrigerant is injected toward the first coil end. at least one opening of the first holes may have a shape in which a maximum value of a first width, which is a dimension in a circumferential direction of the stator core, is greater than a maximum value of a second width, which is a dimension in the axial direction of the stator core.

IPC Code(s): H02K15/03, H02K1/276, H02K1/28



Abstract: a method for manufacturing a rotor capable of efficiently cooling down a magnet inserted into a magnet insertion hole of a rotor core is provided. the method for manufacturing the rotor includes: fixing a first end plate in which a slit is formed to one end part of the rotor core in an axial direction and causing a magnet insertion hole of the rotor core and the slit of the first end plate to be continuous; fixing a second end plate to another end part of the rotor core in the axial direction; and holding the magnet inserted into the magnet insertion hole of the rotor core by a convex part that is formed in a position of the first end plate overlapping the magnet in the axial direction of the rotor core and the second end plate and fixing the magnet therein.

IPC Code(s): H04B7/06, H04B7/0404, H04W52/02



Abstract: a method of uplink beam selection that includes receiving, by a user equipment (ue), one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of reference signals associated with a plurality of downlink beams comprising a first downlink beam; first determining, based on a beam sweeping process comprising measurement, of the reference signals, a plurality of uplink beams associated with the first downlink beam; second determining a first subset of uplink beams, of the plurality of uplink beams, that satisfy maximum permissible exposure (mpe) limits and that are not subject to link failure; first transmitting, to a base station (bs), a configuration message including configuration parameters of the first subset of the uplink beams; and second transmitting, by the ue, uplink data or control information using one or more beams of the first subset of the uplink beams.

IPC Code(s): H04L9/32, H04L9/40



Abstract: a communication system includes a transmitting device group and a receiving device configured to receive data sets. the receiving device is configured to determine reliabilities of the received data sets and manage assignment rates of message authentication codes, which are set for respective types of data sets. the transmitting device group is configured to generate message authentication codes for data sets, and transmit data sets after assigning the generated message authentication codes to the data sets at assignment rates. the receiving device is configured to change, when it is determined that the reliability of a first data set has been reduced, the assignment rate for the first data set to a value greater than that before the change and change the assignment rate for a second data set, which is of a type different from the first data set, to a value less than that before the change.
