Abstract: A photosetting liquid ink composition developable with a dilute alkaline aqueous solution and comprising (A) a resin curable with an activated energy ray, obtained by the reaction of a saturated or unsaturated polybasic acid anhydride with a product of the reaction of a novolak type epoxy compound and an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, (B) a photopolymerization initiator, and (C) a diluent can be used for the production of an etching resist or a solder resist in the manufacture of a printed circuit. This composition, when combined with a thermosetting component, produces a photosetting and thermosetting liquid ink composition.

Abstract: In a numerical control system, a machine tool with an automatic tool changer is provided with an origin detector for generating an origin signal when an NC drive axis for effecting relative movement between a spindle head and a work table in an axial direction of a tool spindle is returned to a machine origin. A numerical controller is connected to the NC dirve axis, the tool changer and when operated in accordance with a numerical control program, controls them so that a series of machinings can be selectively performed on a workpiece on the work table. The numerical controller executes an emergency returning control program when a manual switch is depressed to instruct the returning of the NC drive axis to the machine origin.
