Abstract: A coil end shaping apparatus shapes three flatwise bent portions f1 to f3 in a lead wire portion extending from one end of a coil by bringing first and second shaping dies close to each other such that one of the flatwise bent portions is bent in the direction that is opposite to the direction in which the rest are bent. The second shaping die, which is a movable die, has an clearance portion that prevents a portion of the lead wire portion to be bent along the flatwise direction on the side closest to the free end from being restrained by not contacting the lead wire portion while the flatwise bent portions on the base end side with respect to the flatwise bent portion on the side closest to the free end, of the three flatwise bent portions, are shaped in the lead wire portion.

Abstract: A three-dimensional-object forming apparatus and a three-dimensional-object forming method are provided. The three-dimensional-object forming apparatus includes a forming-material dispensing section, a releasing-agent dispensing section, a driving section and a control section. On the basis of shape data for each layer of a forming object, the control section computes, for each layer, a forming-material deposition area where a forming material that forms the forming object is deposited, a support-material deposition area where the forming material that forms a support is deposited as a support material, and a releasing-agent deposition area where a releasing agent is deposited between the forming-material deposition area and the support-material deposition area. The control section scans a head by the control of a driving section, so as to form the forming object by dispensing the forming material and releasing agent for each layer, from a lowermost layer to an upper most layer.

Abstract: The inkjet printing system includes a print information receiving unit that receives print information including work piece types, print images, and print conditions (S231), an image arrangement deciding unit that decides an image arrangement that is an arrangement of the print images on a pallet (S232 to S242), a work piece arrangement outputting unit that outputs a work piece arrangement that is an arrangement of work pieces according to the image arrangement (S243), and a print executing unit that executes printing on the work pieces on the pallet based on the print image, print conditions, and image arrangement, wherein the image arrangement deciding unit decides the image arrangement in a state where a plurality of print images with the common specific print conditions being predetermined conditions among the print conditions is aligned in a main scanning direction (S232, S233).

Abstract: The present invention provide: a novel process for culturing animal cells and a kit for culturing animal cells, in which, even if the number of cells as sampled for biopsy is extremely small, the proliferation can sufficiently be maintained so as to enable to carry out various culture and/or tests, especially anticancer agent sensitivity tests, and the contamination with bacteria can be inhibited without damaging physiological activity of cells, especially sensitivity to anticancer agents. The process for culturing animal cells, according to the present invention, comprises the step of culturing a sample containing animal cells obtained from living body tissue in order to subject the sample to further culture and/or a test, with the process being characterized in that a culture medium is used wherein the culture medium has a proliferating action and physiological activity-retaining action on the animal cells, and further has a killing action and/or multiplication-inhibition action on bacteria.
