Abstract: An electron-beam irradiation apparatus includes: a power source device; an accelerating tube that accelerates electrons when power is supplied from the power source device, to generate an electron beam; and a pressure tank that contains the power source device and the accelerating tube. The pressure tank is configured so as to be dividable into a first division body that contains the power source device and a second division body that contains the accelerating tube. The second division body has an outlet for emitting the electron beam emitted from the accelerating tube, to the outside of the pressure tank. In addition, the power source device has a connecting part connected to the second division body.

Abstract: A litz wire coil is formed of two litz wires, each having a number of single wires equal to one half of a predetermined number of single wires and each stranded collectively in mutually reverse directions and wound in parallel. The two litz wires are shaped into a coil and then pressed into a predetermined shape by means of a die. Since the number of single wires within each of two litz wires is set equal to one half of a predetermined number, electrical resistance substantially equal to that of a single litz wire coil is attained without increasing the single wire diameter and without thickening the insulating film on the individual wires.

Abstract: A conductor wire material CW is wound into an accurate size without causing floating and deformation when an electric coil is formed. When the conductor wire material CW supplied from a wire material feed portion 3 is wound by turning a coil-winding mold 4 and is processed to fabricate an electric coil having a desired coil shape, the coil-winding mold 4 is linearly moved in a direction D away from the wire material feed portion 3 by a distance corresponding to a major side portion 40a to impart predetermined tension to the conductor wire material CW when a winding portion 40 of the coil-winding mold 4 on which the conductor wire material is wound is the major side portion 40a, and the coil-winding mold 4 is rotated when the winding portion 40 of the coil-winding mold 4 on which the conductor wire material is wound is a minor side portion 40b.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an ink jet head includes the following steps, wherein the ink jet head is provided with a plurality of pressure chambers arranged continuously, ink feed means for feeding ink into these pressure chambers, and ink ejecting means for ejecting ink from each pressure chamber via a nozzle, so as to feed and eject ink by a change in volume of each pressure chamber. First, a first metallic film is formed on both surfaces of at least one wall composing the pressure chamber perpendicular to an arranging direction of the plurality of pressure chambers, wherein the at least one wall is one wall of a piezoelectric element deformed when a voltage is impressed. Then, the first metallic film formed on one of the both surfaces of at lest one wall is removed to form an exposed surface of the wall of the piezoelectric element.

Abstract: A two wheel type continuous extrusion apparatus has two rotary wheels having grooves receiving covering material rods, a fixed shoe block arranged therebetween and an abutement receiving a core metal wire. Covering material inlet apertures are provided for communicating passage-ways receiving the covering material rods to a covering chamber for extruding the covering material on the core metal wire to manufacture a composite metal wire. The covering material inlet apertures are inclined relative to a line connecting rotary axes of the rotary wheels such that the covering chamber is positioned on the side of supplying of the covering material rods relative to the connecting line. Consequently, a constraining force for constraining a shoe block becomes small.
