Abstract: A substrate according to the present invention includes a metal plate, and an insulating film, which is provided on the surface of the metal plate and which includes needle alumina particles and granular particles. The substrate of the present invention has excellent insulating property and can be manufactured on an industrial basis with acceptable efficiency.

Abstract: A head support rest 29 is provided with machine bodies 21, 25 being movable and drivable in a horizontal direction, being free to go up and down. One or more absorption means aggregates 550 are provided with the head support rest 29, being free to move and position in a horizontal two-dimensional direction through a horizontal direction moving structure 33, 35, 36, 47, 49, 51 and 52. The absorption means aggregate 550 has a plurality of absorption means 55 provided such that absorption portions 57 are adjacent to one another. Absorption driving means 60, 62, 63, 65 are connected with each of absorption means 55. Then, a fine workpiece having complex shape can be also appropriately absorbed and carried.

Abstract: A laser cutting machine includes a driving apparatus for moving a laser head axially. An inner sleeve having a converging lens is coupled to the laser head. An outer sleeve having a nozzle is supported to move relative to the inner sleeve. A braking mechanism is arranged between the inner and outer sleeves to selectively lock the outer sleeve to the inner sleeve. An actuator moves a catch to selectively engage the outer sleeve, which holds the outer sleeve at a predetermined position. The driving apparatus moves the laser head when the outer sleeve is held at the predetermined position and the outer sleeve is released from the inner sleeve by the braking mechanism. This moves the outer sleeve relative to the inner sleeve and automatically adjusts the distance between the converging lens and the nozzle. This permits automation of a focal point position adjustment method.

Abstract: A climate controller for an automobile, comprising a compressor and a receiver arranged in an engine compartment of the automobile, a condenser located at an outside-air inlet of the engine compartment, an expansion member and an evaporator disposed in a passenger compartment of the automobile, and a closed-loop refrigerant passage connecting the compressor, the condenser, the receiver, the expansion member and the evaporator in sequence for circulating a refrigerant through these components to establish a refrigerating cycle. The climate controller further includes a valve arranged in a part of the closed-loop refrigerant passage extending from the evaporator through the compressor to the condenser. The valve is actuated to intersect a communication of the refrigerant through the part of the passage when an operation affecting temperature of both the compressor and the condenser becomes ineffective, and to allow the communication when the operation becomes effective.

Abstract: A first drive means is provided to an upper turret and a lower turret in such a manner as that the upper turret and lower turret can be synchronously rotated through a turret drive system, and a second drive means is provided to an upper metallic mold and a lower metallic mold in such a manner as that the upper and the lower metallic molds can be synchronously rotated within the respective turrets through a metallic mold drive system, and the metallic mold drive system is connected to the turret drive system through a differential gear mechanism. And, when the turrets are positioned, the second drive means is held stopped and the metallic molds each holding its own dividing angle are rotated within the respective turrets by the first drive means through the differential gear mechanism. The dividing of the angles for the respective metallic molds is carried out through the differential gear mechanism by the second drive means while maintaining the turrets positioned and stopped.

Abstract: A turret type punch press which has a plurality of strikers is disclosed. The punch press comprises a turret mechanism, a plurality of large-diametrical punches radially spaced along a main circular track of the turret mechanism, a plurality of small-diametrical punches spaced along a plurality of subtracks centering around points on the main circular track between every two adjacent large-diametrical punches, a main striker provided in the lower end of a ram to correspond with the large-diametrical punches and a plurality of substrikers provided circumferentially along the main striker to correspond with the small-diametrical punches. The main striker and the substrikers are selectively operated according to selection of the punches.
