         Appeal No. 2006-2752                                                 
         Application No. 10/309,007                                           
         slots (15a) defined by adjacent pairs of teeth arranged in a         
         circumferential direction (figure 12).  The dynamoelectric           
         machine (100) also includes an armature winding (16) installed in    
         the stator core (15).  Further, the armature winding (16)            
         contains five winding phase portions connected in an annular         
         shape such that the electrical angular phases of electromotive       
         force differ from each other by about seventy-two (72) degrees.      
         Additionally, the dynamoelectric machine includes a plurality of     
         field poles (22, 23) and a five phase full-wave rectifier (12)       
         that rectifies an alternating current output induced in the          
         armature winding (16) in response to a rotating magnetic field       
         rotating synchronously with the rotation of an internal              
         combustion engine to thereby charge a storage battery (28).          
             Claim 1 is representative of the claimed invention and is        
         reproduced as follows:                                               
             1. A dynamoelectric machine comprising:                          
             a stator core in which a predetermined number of slots           
         defined by adjacent pairs of teeth are arranged in a                 
         circumferential direction;                                           
             an armature winding installed in said stator core;               
             a predetermined number of field poles; and                       
             a rectifier for rectifying alternating-current output            
         induced in said armature winding in response to a rotating           
         magnetic field rotating in synchrony with rotation of an internal    
         combustion engine,                                                   
                                      2
