  • Publication number: 20230330758
    Abstract: An end mill includes: at a distal end portion side in a rotation axis direction of a tool body, a plurality of cutting edges continuous from a center side to an outer peripheral side in a radial direction and adjacently arranged in a rotation direction of the tool body; gashes formed on front sides in a rotation direction of the respective cutting edges; and chip discharge flutes continuous with the gashes. The gashes are composed of distal end side depressed faces formed along a distal end side axis making an acute angle with the rotation axis and rear side depressed faces formed along a rear side axis making a smaller acute angle with the rotation axis than the distal end side axis. The distal end side depressed faces and the rear side depressed faces are formed to have shapes overlapping with one another.

  • Patent number: 9901995
    Abstract: Radius mill and cutting work method that includes a plurality of end cutting edges arrayed around a central axis O and a plurality of arc-shaped radius end cutting edges continuous with the end cutting edges on an outer peripheral side in a radial direction. The end cutting edge is divided into an inner peripheral side end cutting edge and an outer peripheral side end cutting edge in a radial direction. Second surfaces of the plurality of inner peripheral side end cutting edges are coupled at a part close to the axis O. A region of coupled second surfaces is continuous from a region including the axis O to outer peripheral sides of respective inner peripheral side end cutting edges in a radial direction in a strip shape. A width of the strip-shaped region gradually enlarges from axis O side to an outer peripheral side in a radial direction.

  • Patent number: 7088075
    Abstract: A battery pack is provided. In the battery pack, batteries and a circuit are completely separated. A battery block includes a battery package that can house one or more of the batteries. The circuit block includes a measurement/protection circuit that has a measurement function about use conditions or performance of the batteries or a function to protect the batteries that is housed in a circuit package wherein the battery block and the circuit block are fit in and housed inside of an outer case. The battery block and the circuit block can be independently removed and replaced from the outer case. In this regard, where a defect of the battery block or the circuit block occurs in a manufacturing process, the block with the defect can be replaced on its own. When the batteries in the battery block are deteriorated or consumed, the battery block can be replaced on its own. An electrolytic solution leaked from the batteries remains in the battery package.

  • Patent number: 6469432
    Abstract: A cathode-ray tube according to the present invention is able to automatically correct a color shading caused due to a repulsion effect and the like, which occurs between electron beams. An electron gun for use with the cathode-ray tube according to the present invention includes beam apertures bored through a first electrode opposing a cathode disposed in an inline fashion. Further, beam apertures through which so-called side beams pass are bored with a predetermined inclination relative to the opposing cathodes. Consequently, an electron lens formed between the cathode and the first electrode becomes an axial-asymmetric electron lens. The curvature of this electron lens is changed in response to a drive voltage of the cathode. When this curvature is changed, the trajectories of electron beams are changed to cancel an influence caused by a repulsion effect. Thus, a color shading can be corrected automatically.
