Abstract: A composition for substrate materials according to the present invention includes 70 - 95 wt. % of inorganic powder and 5 - 30 wt. % of thermosetting resin composition and is in a finely crushed condition. The composition for substrate materials is prepared, for example, by crushing into fine pieces and mixing the inorganic powder and the thermosetting resin composition. A heat conductive substrate is provided with an insulator body formed by heating and pressurizing said composition for substrate materials and a wiring pattern is provided in such a condition that it is exposed on the surface of the insulator body. A process for manufacturing the heat conductive substrate comprises forming said composition for substrate materials into the insulator body by casting the above mentioned composition for substrate materials into a metal mold to be heated and pressurized so that said thermosetting resin is cured.

Abstract: An apparatus for setting a welding operation condition, enabling the simple setting of an operation and a welding condition is disclosed. The apparatus is provided with a welding information recording portion for recording information concerning a welding machine used in arc welding and welding operation, information concerning a welding operation such as shielding gas related information. A welding wire related information or the like, welding information inputting and outputting device is provided for inputting and outputting the welding operation information. A welding operation information setting device is provided for setting the welding operation information. A retrieving device is provided for retrieving the corresponding information from among the information in the welding information recording portion on the basis of the set information.

Abstract: A thermally conductive substrate having a structure in which inorganic filler for improving the thermal conductivity and thermosetting resin composition are included. The thermosetting resin composition has a flexibility in the not-hardened state, and becomes rigid after hardening. The thermally conductive substrate has excellent thermal radiation characteristics. The method of manufacturing the thermally conductive substrate includes: piling up (a) the thermally conductive sheets comprising 70 to 95 weight parts of an inorganic filler, and 4.

Abstract: A robot body has an articulated manipulator arm having a welding tool. The robot body is installed on a base stand housing electric circuits including a welding power source. The electric circuits provide for driving and controlling the welding tool. The robot thus provided minimizes the space needed for installation thereof and requires less time for installation and fewer parts, whereby it becomes possible to reduce the manufacturing cost, simplify the robot installation operation and obtain a stable welding performance.

Abstract: A direct current output voltage is switched by two switching units and a current alternately changing directions is supplied to a primary winding of a transformer. An alternating voltage induced in a secondary winding of the transformer is rectified and smoothed, and is applied to a control circuit. A bidirectional switching unit is connected in parallel with the primary winding, and is controlled by the control circuit so that the primary winding is short-circuited by the bidirectional switching unit and an exciting energy of the transformer is held continuously.

Abstract: A superconductive apparatus having therein at least a superconductive member includes a lithium containing member so as to interrupt neutrons directed to the superconductive member.
