Abstract: According to the present invention, mounting conditions are determined to become closer to a setting value of a parameter regarding electricity consumption. The present invention provides a method of determining mounting conditions under which a piece of equipment mounts a component onto a substrate. The method includes: obtaining a setting value of a parameter regarding electricity consumption required to mount the component; obtaining an actual value of the parameter based on current mounting conditions; and determining new mounting conditions based on a result of comparing the setting value with the actual value.

Abstract: The present invention provides a surface-coated article possessing a high hardness coating that has a Vickers hardness that is equal to or greater than that of conventional high hardness coatings, and which has an oxidation initiation temperature, which is an expression of resistance to oxidation, that is higher than that of conventional high hardness coatings. A coating layer containing a compound nitride that employs as main components Al and at least one element selected from the group consisting of Zr, Hf, Pd, Ir and the rare earth elements is formed on or over a base material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a detecting device of rotational position deviation, which detects deviation of the rotational position of machine axes driven by electric motors with pulse signals outputted from pulse generators, which are attached to at least two electric motors. One or more deceleration mechanisms are provided between an electric motor and a machine axis connected to the electric motor. A pulse transducer transforms two pulse trains outputted from the pulse generators to one pulse train, and an integrating counter counts the pulse train which is outputted from the pulse transducer, thus corresponding to the rotation angle. A zero phase pulse is outputted by each rotation of the pulse generator. The invention further comprises a count transducer transforming the count output from the integrating counter, and a calculator of rotational position counter calculating the output of the integrating counter and the count transducer and outputting rotational position errors.

Abstract: A synchronous control device according to the present invention completes an origin matching between a master section and a slave section without causing a phase difference even when a deceleration device is employed in the master section or in the slave section so as to perform an accurate synchronous control. The synchronous control device constantly detects the phase of a shaft of a master electric motor by a phase detector of the master electric motor according to the outputs of a master rotary encoder, and the phase of a shaft of the master machine by a phase detector of the shaft of the master machine according to the outputs of a master rotary encoder and an origin detector of the shaft of the master machine.

The pinion cutter of the gear shaper is coated, at least on the flank thereof, with at least one layer of film having a composition comprising: (Ti.sub.(1-x) Al.sub.x)(N.sub.y C.sub.(1-y) ), wherein 0.2.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.9 and 0.2.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.1.0. Gear shaper cutting is performed at a cutting speed of 300 m/min or less.

Abstract: Transmission level control is provided to eliminate a sense of disorder during a television conference connecting a multiplicity of locations.In a speech input terminal included in connection between multiple locations, there is provided a speech input means for inputting speech, a communication control means for controlling communication between the speech input means and a communication line, a transmission volume adjusting means capable of stepless adjustment of transmission volume, and a reception volume adjusting means. Thus, the volume adjusting means which has conventionally been provided only at a receiving end is now provided also at a transmitting end to allow stepless volume control, which enables speech output in conformity with the speech level of another entity's terminal.
