Abstract: In a vertical-type molding apparatus, bolts are piercingly provided at symmetrically opposed four locations in a stamper replacement unit and a fixed mold stacked together. These bolts are fastened by a single lever which is operated externally of the mold, whereby the stamper replacement unit is fixed to the fixed mold.

Abstract: Methods of representing knowledge data in a computer which is used for accumulating worker knowledge, an information processing system and a program are disclosed, wherein the knowledge of a worker is represented as at least one of an input information given to the computer and processing information executed by the computer. The information obtained is represented as output information and respective pieces of information are readably accumulated in association with one another by the computer. With the methods, the knowledge data is made easy for the worker to understand, and it is also made easy to prepare, understand and revise the knowledge data.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for forming a resin article by forming a film of photosetting resin liquid on a surface of a workpiece, the workpiece is held in a direction to keep its axis approximately in a horizontal posture. The workpiece is rotated about the axis to thereby form the film of the resin liquid on the surface of the workpiece. The laser beam supplied from above the workpiece is emitted toward the film. At least one of the workpiece and the laser beam is relatively moved continuously or intermittently along the axis.

Abstract: A resin casing of a box-like configuration has side walls, a bottom wall and a plurality of partition walls. Each partition wall has two opposite end portions tapered, at which the partition wall is integrally formed with the side wall. Thus, the cooling speed is made constant at every portion in the resin casing to avoid shrinkage marks and unwanted raised lines.
