Patent number: 8097131Abstract: A method and a device for electrochemically machining workpiece having blade end plates at the longitudinal both ends of a blade-shaped portion having aerofoil shape in cross section by extending and retracting divided electrodes. A part of the blade-shaped portion and one blade end plate continued therewith are electrochemically machined by advancing the main electrode in an acute angle direction relative to the longitudinal direction of the blade-shaped portion. At the same time or subsequently, the remaining part of the blade-shaped portion and the other blade end plate continued therewith are electrochemically machined by slidably advancing an auxiliary electrode along the slope of the main electrode forming an acute angle relative to the blade-shaped-portion-machining-surface. Thus, the number of the parts of an electrode unit can be reduced and the structure thereof can be simplified.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignees: APC Aerospecialty Inc., IHI CorporationInventors: Toshiyuki Matsuo, Kazuhiko Yoshiwaki, Yasuo Fujihara, Masaaki Inoue, Mitsutoshi Watanabe

If resistance values of first to fourth resistors are R1, R2, R3, R4, a relational expression of R1*R3=R2*R4 is satisfied, and output current i becomes constant regardless of a resistance value of a load resistance. Since only a first resistor is connected between the input and the output of the voltage-current conversion circuit, thermal noise decreases, and a signal-to-noise ratio becomes high.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2007Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: Onkyo CorporationInventors: Masatoshi Nakabo, Mamoru Sekiya, Masaaki Inoue
