  • Publication number: 20240159019
    Abstract: A cable clamp (26) is disposed in an upper revolving structure (3) of a hydraulic excavator (1). The cable clamp (26) supports a power feeding cable (91) connected to a power feeding port (12A). The cable clamp (26) is supported on the upper revolving structure (3) via an arm member (23) attached on the upper revolving structure (3). A wire (30) is bridged over between the cable clamp (26) and the arm member (23). A tension sensor (29) detects a load applied to the wire (30). A controller (16) issues an alarm when a tension detection of the tension sensor (29) goes beyond a prescribed threshold value (T1 or T2).

  • Patent number: 7302934
    Abstract: An air-cooled engine is hung and fixed under a rear part of a backbone of a body frame. The engine is disposed so that the center axis of a cylinder in its cylinder block extends approximately horizontally and so that its cylinder head is directed toward the front. A fuel injection device is located between an intake valve and an intake port in the cylinder head. An injection nozzle of the fuel injection device and an intake valve opening are placed at a short distance. While the vehicle is idling or running at low speed, the vicinity of the tip of an injector of the fuel injection device is cooled by assist air supplied from a throttle body through a secondary passage, and when the vehicle runs normally or at high speed, the fuel injection device is cooled by the wind that hits the cylinder head.

  • Patent number: 4902770
    Abstract: The undercoating composition of the invention, useful for providing an undercoating layer for a top coat of a photosensitive resist layer on a substrate surface, comprises, as a principal ingredient thereof, a condensation product obtained by the condensation reaction between a hydroxy-substituted diphenylamine and a melamine compound substituted on the nitrogen atoms with methylol groups and/or alkoxymethyl groups. The undercoating obtained of the composition is highly resistant against the attack by the overcoating solution applied thereon so that the fidelity of the pattern reproduction by the photolithographic technique is greatly improved by virtue of the absence of any disorder at the interface between the undercoating and top coat layers. The advantage is further increased when the undercoating composition further comprises a photoextinctive agent, e.g. a dye, having absorptivity in the wave length region where the photosensitive resist of the top coat has sensitivity.

  • Patent number: 4590149
    Abstract: A method for high-fidelity fine patterning of a photoresist layer involving a dry-process development by exposure to a plasma gas. Following irradiation in a pattern with actinic rays, a photoresist layer coated on a substrate is heated in an atmosphere at 200.degree. to 500.degree. C. Subsequent exposure of the photoresist layer to a plasma gas gives a finely patterned resist layer with a very high residual film ratio or very small decrease in the film thickness.

  • Patent number: 4588675
    Abstract: A method for high fidelity patterning of a photoresist layer involving a dry-process development by exposure to a plasma gas. A photoresist layer which had been irradiated in a pattern with actinic rays is heated at a temperature in the range from 200.degree. to 500.degree. C. by applying heat to the surface of the substrate opposite to the surface bearing the photoresist layer, for example, by placing the substrate on a hot plate with the uncoated surface in contact with the hot plate. Subsequent exposure to plasma gas gives a patterned resist layer with a very high residual film thickness.
