  • Patent number: 10212810
    Abstract: An ink layer of an electrically conductive ink is formed on a sheet-like base and then the base is bent-deformed before the ink layer is cured, followed by curing the ink layer, thereby forming wiring. The ink layer is pliable during the bending deformation of the base, preventing breakage of the ink layer associated with the bending deformation of the base, and preventing damage to the wiring even when the wiring is finely formed.

  • Publication number: 20070102182
    Abstract: To provide a corrugated tube and an apparatus for and method of perforating a corrugated tube, which are capable of rapidly discharging water, such as water intruding into the inside and condensation water, to the outside and in which a plurality of communication holes can be positively and efficiently formed respectively in predetermined portions of a peripheral surface of a tube body. For example, a wire harness or the like is inserted into a corrugated tube 10 through a slit 12 formed in a tube body 11 of a tubular shape along a generating line of the tube body, the tube body having larger-diameter portions 20 and smaller-diameter portions 30 which are arranged alternatively along the same axis. Usually, the corrugated tube 10, receiving the wire harness therein, is installed in such a manner that the slit 12 is disposed at a lower side, but there arises the case where the slit 12 can not be disposed at the lower side because of the installation direction and a change of the direction.

  • Patent number: 6291557
    Abstract: The invention provides an alkali-soluble adhesive agent characterized by comprising an alkali-soluble resin that is a reaction product (C) obtained by allowing a polycarboxylic acid and/or a polycarboxylic anhydride having two or more carboxyl groups to react with a reaction product of a compound (A) having at least one epoxy group with a monocarboxylic acid compound (B). Preferably, the alkali-soluble resin is used in combination with a ketone organic solvent, optionally with at least one member selected from the group consisting of a melt viscosity reducing agent, a surface active agent and a plasticizer. The alkali-soluble adhesive agent can be removed by an alkali aqueous solution without recourse to any organic solvent, and is of an environmental protection-conscious type with improvements in adhesion, adhesion strength, coatability, surface smoothness, softening point controllability, melt viscosity controllability and spread controllability.

  • Patent number: 5593940
    Abstract: A thermal transfer sheet having a back coating layer excellent in heat-resistance is provided by using a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer as a resin constituting the back coating layer. A thermal transfer material having an excellent heat-resistance and having a back coating layer having considerable strength is provided by incorporating at least two species of heat-resistant particles having different particle sizes in the back coating layer, since the larger species of particle imparts excellent heat-resistance to the back coating layer, the smaller species of particle enhances the total amount of the fillers, and the larger and smaller species of particles function so as to provide a synergistic effect.

  • Patent number: 5377117
    Abstract: A numerical control apparatus having a three-dimensional graphic display function is provided. A three-dimensional space is divided into lattice points in storing the form data of a workpiece and a tool. When the same lattice data of a plane including an X-axis and Y-axis of three-dimensional coordinates is continuous in a Z-direction, i.e., the same form continues, those lattice point data are stored using a piece of lattice data and a continuity number, and the lattice data are stored in the form of a list of links. This allows the form data of the workpiece and tool to be stored using a small memory capacity and the accuracy of display to be improved where needed without increasing the memory capacity.

  • Patent number: 5339015
    Abstract: A coordinate data converter converts plural shape data of the movable parts from a direction and of the parts that may interfere with the movable parts into the shape data of the three-dimensional coordinate system unique to the machining system, the number of structural shape elements of those parts being different from one another. A generator projects thus converted shape data on the three planes of said three-dimensional coordinate system; an arithmetic operator determines whether or not projected data overlap each other in each of the three planes, and a detector determines that an interference has occurred if the projection data on respective planes overlap and if projected data based on the shape data overlap in all of the three planes.

  • Patent number: 5245544
    Abstract: For the function of forming numerical control information prior to machining process, the type of machining (such as drilling, end milling, outer diameter end face, etc.) and machining scope for each machining area is determined by inputting the shapes of a work and a part determining the machining areas based on said shapes, identifying the areas for inner diameter machining out of said machining areas, extracting from said inner diameter machining areas those characteristic areas to the inner diameter machining such as the area where a rear end face exists on the part shape, where a through hole is unprocessed or where a through hole is bored on the work based on the shape elements. As this method does not require preliminary reviewing of the machining method for inner diameter (and especially for small diameter), it allows beginner operators to produce numerical control information as easily as a skilled operator.
