Abstract: Provided is a method for inspecting surface deformation of a structure which enables easy measurement of the amount of deformation of the surface of a structure protection sheet attached to the surface of a structure such as concrete. The method for inspecting surface deformation of a structure includes: identifying a structure protection sheet attached to a surface of a structure using an individual identification means; digitally photographing a surface of a resin layer on an outermost surface of the structure protection sheet using a digital photography means; measuring a dimension of the surface of the resin layer based on image data obtained in the digital photography using a dimension measuring means; and calculating an amount of deformation of the surface of the resin layer based on data of the measured dimension using a calculation means.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a shaft, whereby a hollow shaft in which linking members are joined at both ends of a cylindrical member (a pipe member) can be manufactured more efficiently. A method for manufacturing a shaft in which linking members are provided to end parts of a cylindrical member, wherein the method comprises: a preparation step for preparing the cylindrical member, in which male threaded portions are formed at the end parts; a screwing step in which the linking members, which have female threaded portions to be screwed onto the male threaded portions, are screwed onto the male threaded portions; and a diffusion-joining step in which opposing end surfaces of the linking members and the cylindrical member are heated in a state of being pressed against each other by the tightening produced by the screwed-on linking members, and the opposing end surfaces are diffusion-joined.

Abstract: A tight-seal construction provided with a metal seal and a holding plate composed of a thin plate having a through window portion. A hitching concave peripheral groove is formed on a peripheral face of the metal seal, and the metal seal is held by the holding plate having a claw portion hitching to the concave peripheral groove and provided with a strap elastic portion protruding from an inner peripheral end edge of the through window portion as to freely and elastically deform in axial directions and radial directions.

Abstract: A metal seal to improve sealing function by increasing contact pressure under a final assembly state with keeping low fastening force. A metal seal of block shape has a first contact convex portion, a middle base portion, and a second contact convex portion. The first contact convex portion and the second contact convex portion are quarter-circular.

Abstract: In order to achieve constantly stable, high seal performance without requiring high machining accuracy, and in order to provide a reusable jacket seal, the present invention discloses a jacket seal, wherein a projection is formed at a position of a metal jacket in opposite relationship with a seal surface of a member being sealed, a flat portion is formed in an elastic member within the metal jacket so as to be brought into surface-to-surface contact with a flange portion interior surface, and the vertex portion of the projection is formed flat.

Abstract: A method for producing a wave absorber, which method includes rubbing a mixture of a solidifiable fluid binder and a particulate dielectric loss material on a substrate and solidifying the binder, thereby to laminate a wave absorptive layer on the substrate, and a wave absorber produced by this production method are provided. According to the production method of the present invention, a structure including a dielectric loss material and a binder admixed most preferably for wave absorption can be formed easily into a long sheet or a long belt-like wave absorber.

Abstract: A ring seal contains a core made from an elastic organic polymer and a metal jacket having a U-shaped sectional shape, which jacket surrounds the core to prevent transfer of a substance generated from the core into the sealed space. The seal of the present invention does not release a foreign material into the sealed space, nor does it require a great force for clamping. Accordingly, it is useful as a vacuum seal that achieves miniaturization and reduced weight of a vacuum apparatus. In particular, by making the sectional shape of the metal jacket a U shape, the core can be easily detached and attached for fitting after forming the jacket, and the inside of the jacket can be washed easily.
