Abstract: A die machine for manufacturing a laminated iron core includes a first working row for punching out iron core pieces from a steel sheet material and a second working row for punching out electrically insulating sheet pieces from an electrically insulating synthetic resin sheet material. Each iron core piece includes a spindle hole and a plurality of slot holes for receiving coil windings. Each electrically insulating sheet includes a spindle hole and a plurality of slot holes which have a substantially similar configuration to, but are smaller than, the slot holes of the iron core pieces. The die machine includes a stacking die mold for selectively receiving the iron core pieces and the electrically insulating sheet pieces such that successive stacks of iron core pieces are sandwiched between electrically insulating sheet pieces.

Abstract: A laminated iron core includes a plurality of stacked iron core pieces punched out from a thin steel sheet material, each iron core piece including a plurality of slot holes for receiving coil windings. At least one electrically insulating sheet piece is stacked on an outer surface of a lowermost iron core piece. The electrically insulating sheet pieces include a spindle hole and a plurality of slot holes which have a substantially similar configuration to, but are smaller than, the slot holes of the iron core pieces whereby edges of slot holes of electrically insulating sheet pieces extend outwardly beyond edges of slot holes of iron core pieces. Burrs formed at edges of slot holes of iron core pieces are covered with edges of slot holes of electrically insulating sheet pieces so that a coil can be wound safely without directly contacting the burrs.

Abstract: A layered product which is a molded object comprising a thermoset resin layer, a thermoplastic resin layer, and reinforcing fibers comprising many continuous filaments, wherein the thremoset resin layer has been united with the thermoplastic resin layer at the interface between these layers, the resin of the thermoset resin layer and the resin of the thermoplastic resin layer each having an irregular surface shape at the interface, and a group of filaments among the reinforcing fibers are in contact with at least the resin of the thermoset resin layer and the other group of filaments among the reinforcing fibers are in contact with at least the resin of the thermoplastic resin layer, that side of the thermoplastic resin layer which is opposite to the interface being a surface of the molded object.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for parallel processing of remote procedure call (RPC) requests from clients includes placing the remote procedure call requests in a queue and storing them in a memory. A response is immediately returned to the client indicating receipt of the processing request. The RPC requests are retrieved from the queue and processed in parallel. Notification of the completed processing is provided to a notification client. In the event of a server fault or system failure, the processing requests are retrieved from the memory upon system restoration, and replaced into the queue in the order they were received by the server.

Abstract: A heat exchanger tube for effecting a heat exchange between a fluid inside the heat exchanger tube and another fluid flowing outside the heat exchanger tube, which is provided with a first kind of spiral grooves and a second kind of spiral grooves, each being formed on an outer surface of the heat exchanger tube. The twisting direction of the first kind of spiral grooves in relative to the axis of the heat exchanger tube is the same as that of the second kind of spiral grooves but differs in helix angle from each other with helix angles of the first kind of spiral grooves and the second kind of spiral grooves falling within the range of 3.degree. to 80.degree. in relative to the axis of the heat exchanger tube.

Abstract: In a network printing apparatus, a job receiving unit receives a print request, and a name/name-identifier acquiring unit acquires the name of a print request issuer, a protocol, and a name identifier for identifying the request issuer from the print request received by the job receiving unit. A name-identifier judging unit refers to an access control table, and judges whether or not the name identifier obtained from the print request is coincident with that in the access control table. A name determining unit refers to the same table, and judges whether or not the name obtained from the print request is coincident with that in the table.

Abstract: One heat transfer tube for an absorption refrigerating machine of the present invention has a plurality of grooves formed on the circumferential surface of a tube at uniformly angular intervals to extend continuously or discontinuously in the length direction of the tube, wherein the width and/or depth of each groove gently varies in the length direction of the groove, and the height of each ridge between the mutually adjacent grooves gently varies from the axial tube center in the length direction of the ridge. Another heat transfer tube of the present invention has a large number of concave portions formed in rows on the circumferential surface of the tube at predetermined angular intervals and each having a gently down-grade surface extending in the tube length direction to gradually get closer to the axial tube center and a gently up-grade surface extending continuously from the down-grade surface in the tube length direction to gradually become more distant from the axial tube center.

Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided a heat transmission tube having a tube body, first grooves formed at a predetermined pitch therebetween on an outer surface of the tube body continuously along a circumferential direction, the first grooves open to an outside, and having an opening portion, a width of which is narrower than that of a bottom portion thereof, and second grooves formed at a predetermined pitch therebetween on the outer surface of tube body continuously along an axial direction, the second grooves having a depth shallower than that of the first grooves, and connecting opening portions of the adjacent first grooves to each other, wherein a projecting member is provided on a bottom surface of each of the first grooves so as to connect a side wall of each of the first grooves to another is brought into contact with the tube body. This heat transmission tube exhibits a high and stable heat transmissibility in both high and low heat flux cases.

Abstract: A hermetically sealed electrostrictive actuator comprises a metal case and a metal cap for housing an electrostrictive element therein. The metal cap is provided with a pair of glass sealing terminals to be connected to a pair of lead wires of the electrostrictive element. The metal case is provided a flexible region so as to follow the expansion and constraction of the electrostrictive element without breaking the hermetic envelope of the metal case and the metal cap.

Abstract: A plurality of wafers on which semiconductor films having a uniform thickness and specific resistivity are obtained by a horizontal type low pressure vapor phase deposition system, i.e., a system using a horizontal reaction tube, in which wafers are aligned in parallel and transverse to a longitudinal axis of the tube. A main gas is introduced from a main inlet into the reaction tube and an auxiliary gas including an impurity gas is introduced from an auxiliary inlet into the reaction tube in such a manner that the impurity gas diffuses toward the main inlet along an inner wall of the reaction tube.
