    Abstract: A manufacturing method of an electric contact and manufacturing equipment of the electric contact. A contact and a metal base are superimposed and support by a jig, and a rotational tool, which rotates at a predetermined speed and advances/retracts to/from the jig, is pressed into a surface, which is not contacted with the contact, of the metal base while being rotated, so that the contact and the metal base are joined by solid state diffusion welding by using frictional heat generated by friction between the rotational tool and the metal base, and then the rotational tool is retracted from the metal base.

  • Patent number: 5595604
    Abstract: A vertical wafer supporting boat is provided in which adequate reaction gas is supplied to the portion of a wafer surface to be treated which is inserted in holding grooves in members of the wafer supporting boat during the heat treatment and thus uniform heat treatment is achieved across the surface of each wafer. The particular groove shape preferably exploits the rotation of the boat in a vertical furnace to thereby uniformly supply the reaction gas on the entire surface to be treated of each of the wafers disposed in the boat. The holding grooves are inclined relative to a direction tangent to a wafer edge in order that the clearance facing the surface to be treated of a wafer is profiled to have an edge-like space by gradually increasing the width in the tangential direction of the wafer and, preferably, the internal groove surface opposed to the surface to be treated of the wafer is inclined to increase in width toward the center of the wafer.

  • Patent number: 5416976
    Abstract: A gyro compass having a gyro case housing therein a gyro and supported with freedom of three axes, functions for outputting a signal corresponding to an inclined angle of the gyro spin axis relative to the horizontal plane, and a function for applying a torque around a vertical axis of the gyro case in proportion to an input signal. A controller is supplied with a signal corresponding to the inclined angle and a latitude value at which the gyro compass is located, and a constant relative to the input latitude value is determined by the controller after the gyro compass is energized. A signal, resulting from differentiating the signal corresponding to the inclined angle during a predetermined time, is added to the product of the signal corresponding to the inclined angle and the constant. This added signal functions as the input signal for the gyro, whereby a constant optimum north-seeking movement is carried out regardless of the change of the latitude value.

  • Patent number: 4357751
    Abstract: An electrical contact manufacturing method and apparatus with which entrance of the contact into a base metal plate is prevented during forming of the contact to thereby increase the service life of the contact. A contact material is welded in the form of a spot to a predetermined position on a base metal plate. The contact material is depressed from above by an upper punch to mold the electrical contact. Simultaneously, the portion of the base metal plate lying directly below the contact is depressed with a lower punch to raise that portion of the base metal plate and the contact.
