  • Patent number: 9604298
    Abstract: The removal starting position (8S1) of a first removal process and the four removal starting positions (8S21-8S24) in a second removal process are established on an imaginary circle (7I) with a prescribed radius (R) that is inscribed in the apex (7C) of an incomplete thread part (7a). In each removal process, the tip of the screw thread cutting tool shaves off the apex (7C) of the incomplete thread part (7a) into respective recesses, contacting the imaginary inscribed circle (7I) from the outside (above). The multiple cutting surfaces of the apex (7C) are formed in parallel helices (that is, as mutually adjacent helical recesses) from the starting position to the ending position of the incomplete thread part. Points and burrs in the incomplete thread part can thereby be eliminated or reduced without loss of the ability to screw together with a partner threaded fastener (threaded portion).

  • Publication number: 20160254831
    Abstract: An information processing device of the present disclosure includes a processor, a power source that supplies power, a proximity sensor that detects approach of an object, and an antenna that outputs an electromagnetic wave. The processor sets a maximum power of the electromagnetic wave from the antenna to a first value after the power source starts supplying the power, and then sets the maximum power of the electromagnetic wave from the antenna to a second value greater than the first value when the proximity sensor no longer detects approach of an object that has once been detected by the proximity sensor.
