Abstract: A printer includes a first route to which a sheet from a roll paper is to be fed, a drive roller arranged on the first route and capable of sending the sheet, an image forming part (thermal printer head), a second route branched from the first route, a route changer for switching a route of the sheet, a curl corrector provided on the second route, and a cutter (cutting unit) provided on the first route. The curl corrector is configured to form the route with a curl correction roller and a guide member, and an advancing direction of the route is changeable 100 degrees or more when the sheet passes through the curl corrector.

Abstract: A welding method of applying energy to an interface where a metal glass and a crystalline metal make contact with each other or to the metal glass near the interface, heating and melting the metal glass to form a molten layer, and joining the metal glass and the crystalline metal. The metal glass has a glass formation ability in which a nose time of a TTT curve when a solid of the metal glass is reheated is 0.2 seconds or more. The metal glass and the crystalline metal are formed with a material that satisfies a temperature range of a temperature of the metal glass at which a spread factor of the crystalline metal that has not been melted and the molten metal glass is 25% or more and a melting point of the crystalline metal to be 100 K or more.

Abstract: Provided is an injection nozzle which is capable of maintain high response performance over a long period of time, in a manner compatible with an increase in fuel injection pressure of a high-pressure common rail system which is one type of fuel injection system for internal combustion engines such as diesel engines. The injection nozzle comprises a valve body 1, and a needle valve 2 disposed in an inner bore of the valve body 1 and adapted to intermittently seal an injection port 11 of the nozzle body 1, wherein at least a distal end 22 of the needle valve 2 is made of a metallic glass.

Abstract: To provide a method of welding a metallic glass and a crystalline metal by shifting a high-energy beam scan area from a butting face thereof to the metallic glass side, to fall within a composition range required for glass phase formation of a metallic glass base material in a simplified assured manner. In a welding method for weldingly joining a metallic glass and a crystalline metal together by scanning a high-energy beam in a position shifted from a butt interface between the metallic glass and the crystalline metal toward the metallic glass, it is intended to provide a technique for allowing a composition of a melt zone formed around a welding interface to fall within a composition range required for forming a glass phase in the metallic glass to be joined, in a simple and more reliable manner. A metallic glass (1) and a crystalline metal (2) are butted against each other to define a groove space (Y) over a groove formed on the side of the crystalline metal (2).

Abstract: A welding method is provided which makes it possible to obtain a joint body having a sufficient strength by selecting a metal glass and a crystalline metal having given conditions. According to the present invention, there is provided a welding method of applying energy to an interface where a metal glass and a crystalline metal make contact with each other or to the metal glass near the interface, of forming a molten layer by heating and melting the metal glass and of performing welding, in which the molten layer after the metal glass and the crystalline metal have been joined together has a glass formation ability, the metal glass has a glass formation ability in which a nose time of a TTT curve when a solid of the metal glass is reheated is 0.
