  • Publication number: 20240068671
    Abstract: A heating cooking apparatus includes a housing, a lid portion, a rail member, and a slide member. The housing includes an opening opened toward a first direction, and an outer peripheral portion disposed on an outer periphery of the opening. The lid portion includes a plate-like member that opens and closes the opening. The rail member is disposed in the housing and extends in the first direction. The slide member is disposed on the lid portion and extends from the lid portion in a direction opposite to the first direction. The slide member includes a main body portion that moves relative to the rail member and a protruding portion protruding upward from an end portion of the main body portion in the first direction side. The protruding portion is in contact with a first face of the plate-like member.

  • Publication number: 20220334024
    Abstract: A vibration detection device includes an A/D conversion unit for receiving a sine wave signal of an AE wave corresponding to vibration generated in a target machine from an AE sensor that detects the AE wave and converting the received sine wave signal into digital data, an extraction unit for extracting, from the digital data, a data point of a local maximum value for each cycle of the sine wave signal, and an output processing unit for outputting the data point extracted by the extraction unit and cycle data including data points with the number of points which can be recognized as a sine wave and including the data point of a local maximum value so that an output unit visibly outputs the data point and the cycle data.

  • Publication number: 20160133980
    Abstract: To provide a method of manufacturing a solid oxide fuel cell, capable of obtaining a uniform film thickness. The present invention is a method of manufacturing fuel cells (16), including a support body-forming step (S1) for forming a porous support body (97), a film deposition step for laminating functional layers constituting electricity generating elements on a support body; and a sintering step (S14, S16) for sintering the support body on which functional layers are formed; whereby the film deposition step includes surface deposition steps (S5, S11), in which a masking layer is formed in parts not requiring film deposition, and electricity generating elements first functional layers are simultaneously formed, and a dot deposition step (S15), in which slurry dots are formed by placing a slurry into a liquid droplet state and jetting it, and a second functional layer is formed by the agglomeration of these dots.

  • Patent number: 7189002
    Abstract: In a hydrostatic gas bearing for use in a vacuum, in order to provide a hydrostatic gas bearing in which an increase in the quantity of gas being discharged during the movement of a moving body is reduced, the surface of a guide shaft of a fixed body and/or the surface of the moving body is subjected to processing for reducing adhesion of gas molecules, for example, by coating the surface(s) with a material having a low adhesion probability of gas molecules, by which the quantity of gas being discharged is decreased.

  • Patent number: 6735867
    Abstract: In order to provide a static pressure air bearing having two axes usable in a vacuum environment in which the connection of the supporting air exhaust pipe does not adversely affect the motion of the bearing mechanism, air exhaust pipes are connected only with the fixed part(s) of the lower axis. Air exhaust from the upper axis is conducted through inner air exhaust piping (passages) formed within the fixed parts of the upper and lower axes, so that the exhaust pipes need not be connected with the movable parts.
