  • Patent number: 10464151
    Abstract: There is provided a method for processing a raceway groove configured to circumferentially form a to-be-processed side raceway groove on a surface to be processed of a workpiece, the to-be-processed side raceway groove is configured to be brought into rolling contact with a rolling element, and the surface to be processed is a cylindrical circumferential surface. The method for processing a raceway groove includes: arranging a processing rolling element rotatably between the to-be-processed side raceway groove and a tool side circumferential surface which is opposed to the surface to be processed and which is a cylindrical circumferential surface of a machining tool; rotating the machining tool relatively with respect to the workpiece; and performing a burnishing process on the to-be-processed side raceway groove.

  • Patent number: 10137541
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a bearing ring member, whereby processing cost can be reduced and a high degree of freedom in design is obtained, by disposing a metal material of a raw material (13a), the metal material having excellent metal characteristics such as fatigue strength and wear resistance and excellent processing characteristics such as hardenability, in a portion that flows to a portion (raceway surface, etc.) where the characteristics of the metal material are required during use or forging of a bearing ring member. The present invention is configured from a first metal part (23) in which the raw material (13a) is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a second metal part (24) formed in a columnar shape by a metal material having more excellent metal characteristics or processing characteristics than the first metal part (23).

  • Patent number: 9514106
    Abstract: An embedded device incorporating a Web browser, which enables a server to provide a dynamic content adapted and linked to a function specific to the embedded device and a status of the same, as an easily and flexibly expandable service in response to access from the embedded browser, and enables securing privacy and security of information on a client. In an image processing apparatus (110) implementing the embedded device, a Web browser module (211) loads Web content data containing at least document data which is described in a markup language and has a script or information for reference to a script embedded therein, and performs presentation based on the loaded Web content data. A controller unit (111) controls information and operation of the image processing apparatus. A script interpreter (805) incorporated in the Web browser module interprets the document data contained in the loaded Web content data and processes the script or the information for reference to a script embedded in the document data.
