  • Publication number: 20150052769
    Abstract: Controller executes a first scanning control, causing a driver to move a probe such that a tip scans along an inclined surface of a V groove to approach a center of the V groove, and a second scanning control, causing the driver to move the probe such that the tip scans along the inclined surface of the V groove to approach the center of the V groove from a side opposite that of the first scanning control. Angle calculator calculates an angle created between a direction of a deflection vector of the probe and a predetermined direction. Threshold value-correspondent coordinate obtainer obtains coordinates of the tip where the angle has changed to exceed a first threshold value during execution of the first scanning control and obtains coordinates of the tip where the angle has changed to exceed a second threshold value during execution of the second scanning control.

  • Patent number: 7942982
    Abstract: Grain-oriented electrical steel sheet excellent in coating adhesion is provided. The steel sheet contains Si: 2 to 7% mass % and has a primary coating composed mainly of forsterite on its surface. A compound (A) containing one or more elements selected from among Ca, Sr and Ba, at least one rare earth metal, and sulfur is incorporated in the primary coating so as to reside in the interface layer between the primary coating and the steel sheet. As a result, occurrence of primary coating exfoliation at regions that are strongly worked during manufacture of a wound core transformer or the like is prevented.
