Abstract: A ring-shaped core metal is pressed and compressed by a main punch and a counter punch so as to have a wave shape. Moreover, each group of three micro-protrusions provided on each of top points of the wave shape are cut in the core metal. Then, three notches are cut on the core metal corresponding to the micro-protrusions. Furthermore, plastic flow is generated at a surface layer of the core metal due to partial compression by the notches at the time of pressing and compressing. Then, the waves are formed on the core metal with the notches as the top points. The notches are cut at seven sections respectively on a front surface and a rear surface of the core metal. Thus, seven waves are formed on the core metal in total. Since the notches are formed on the front and the rear surfaces of the waves, a “return” phenomenon is not generated as seen in a conventional cool working method. Thus, the waves are formed at high accuracy.

Abstract: A data generating method for aggregating a plurality of edit objects as an aggregate object in a visual programming operation so as to improve editing efficiency. A plurality of objects are aggregated and displayed as one aggregate object. If edit objects overlap each other at the same position, they can be created one after the other and placed in an aggregate object. In addition, substances of individual menus on a menu operation tree can be placed in an aggregate object. An aggregate object has an operation menu that has controls for validating/invalidating the generation of data. When a plurality of objects are placed in an aggregate object, by validating the objects one after the other, different layouts can be easily created and compared.

Abstract: Provided is a wet pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which comprises, as a component A, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a vinyl pyrrolidone.vinyl acetate copolymer, polyethylene oxide and the half ester of a methyl vinyl ether.maleic anhydride copolymer; as a component B, a liquid plasticizer compatible with the component A; and as a component C, a filler. The combination of the component C with components A and B makes it possible to provide a wet pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which exhibits tackiness in the presence of water or a hydrophilic medium, adheres well to the application site, dries speedily after adhesion, has high mechanical strength after drying and can be peeled off easily.

Abstract: A speed detecting device for an electric motor in which the angular stopping position of a rotary shaft is controlled with a high precision. A magnet is mounted on a rotary shaft of the motor, and a position detector detects the position of the magnet as rotated by the motor, thereby producing an output signal having a linear region.
