Abstract: In the present invention, virtual regions each having a width of 1/2n (where n is a natural number greater than or equal to 1) of the detection width of a force sensor provided on a tire travel surface are set in a region to be measured of a tire. The contact position between the tire travel surface and tire is shifted along a prescribed direction such that the force sensor touches a single virtual region a plurality of times, and the sensor is used to carry out force measurement a plurality of times. Mapping data is generated that associates each measurement time with data about the positional relationship between the virtual regions and sensor. Force values for each virtual region are calculated on the basis of the sensor detection values and the force balance relationship between the sensor and virtual regions determined by a mapping data generation unit.

Abstract: A blade comprises a disc-shaped substrate having a major surface and an outer peripheral edge portion encircling the major surface, and an abrasive grain layer mounted on the outer peripheral edge portion of the substrate. The substrate includes a first disc having a major surface, and a second disc having a major surface which is superposed on that of the first disc. The major surface of the second disc is separated from that of the first disc, thereby defining a clearance between the major surfaces of the first and second discs and correspondingly forming a convex surface region on the outside surface of the substrate. The peripheral portion of the convex surface region is provided with a contact portion where the major surfaces of the first and second discs are slidably in contact with each other.
