Abstract: This tunnel excavation method includes a step of excavating three first tunnels that are substantially parallel to each other in a first excavation step. Second tunnels are excavated that intersect the first tunnels in a second excavation step. A boring machine is used that performs excavation in a state in which a gripper pushes against the side wall of the tunnel.

Abstract: An auxiliary tunneling apparatus includes a reaction force receiver and first and second split components. In the excavation of a second tunnel by a boring machine, the reaction force receiver forms a replacement face of a side wall of the second tunnel on a first tunnel side where the first and second tunnels intersect each other, and a gripper of the boring machine pushes against the replacement face. The first and second split components are installed to push against the side wall of the first tunnel, support the reaction force receiver within the first tunnel, and move back and forth with respect to the side wall of the first tunnel.

Abstract: Provided is an active-energy-radiation-curable inkjet recording ink that experiences reduced repulsion when ejected onto nonabsorbent substrates, that has good curability, and that causes little color mixing between uncured coatings formed adjacent to each other by ejecting inks and can thus form fine images on nonabsorbent substrates. The present invention provides an active-energy-radiation-curable inkjet recording ink containing a pigment, a silicone acrylate, an active-energy-radiation-curable compound other than the silicone acrylate, and a radical polymerization initiator. The silicone acrylate is a particular organically modified silicone acrylate including a side chain containing a polyoxyalkylene having a (meth)acryloyl group at an end thereof. The active-energy-radiation-curable compound is a compound (E) having a (meth)acryloyl group and a vinyl ether group.

Abstract: To provide a technology indicating guidance for a usage method of information equipment and for solving an abnormality of the information equipment to not only users having knowledge about terminology of the information equipment but also users having none of the knowledge about the terminology of the information equipment. A guidance apparatus receives identifying information of information equipment from a device, reads an image from a database containing images about the information equipment with respect to the received identifying information, creates guidance information containing the read image, transmits the created guidance information to the device, receives information determined by a manipulation about the guidance information on the device, and controls so as to read the image used next for the guidance information from the received information.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a magnetic recording medium comprised by sequentially layering a magnetic recording layer, intermediate layer and concealment layer on a non-magnetic substrate made from a thermoplastic resin, wherein the surface of the intermediate layer forms a single smooth surface with the surface of the non-magnetic substrate as a result of embedding the magnetic recording layer and the intermediate layer within a portion of the non-magnetic substrate, and the concealment layer conceals the surface of the intermediate layer and the surface of the non-magnetic substrate. This magnetic recording medium has superior concealment and adhesion of the concealment layer for the magnetic recording layer as well as a high level of design properties regardless of the type of magnetic particles used in the magnetic recording layer.

The present jet ink is constituted as an aqueous liquid dispersion of fine color particles which are formed by coating fine pigment particles (a) with a coat forming resin having carboxyl groups (b). The surface of the color particles is covered with the quaternary carboxyl groups in a form of quaternary ammonium salt and the average volume diameter of the fine color particles is restricted to less than 0.5 .mu.m. An increase rate of the average volume diameter of the fine color particles when the dried ink is dispersed again in water is also restricted to less than 50%.

Abstract: In a cutter bit abrasion detecting device of a shield excavator comprising a plurality of cutter bits arranged on the front surface of a cutter head rotatably provided in front of a shield body for excavating a working place, a sensor hole or sensor holes are formed in each of some of the cutter bits and sensor heads each comprising a U-shaped single-core optical fiber accommodated in a casing are inserted thereinto. As a result, sensor heads can be thin to be easily inserted into the sensor holes having a small diameter so as to be set in cutter bits with ease since the single-core optical fiber is employed and the attenuation of light received by the sensor head can be reduced due to the attenuation of light between a reflector plate and the optical fiber since no reflector plate is employed, so that accuracy in detection is improved.
