  • Publication number: 20170248930
    Abstract: A first storage unit stores a main component table holding design information of products. A second storage unit stores a sub-component table holding the design information of the products and an update deadline of the design information for each predetermined unit constituted by products manufactured on the basis of the same design information. A first determination unit determines whether or not the main component table has been changed. A second determination unit determines whether or not a present date is before the update deadline. The second determination unit reflects contents of the change performed on the main component table on the sub-component table in a case where the main component table has been changed and the present date is before the update deadline.

  • Patent number: 6299573
    Abstract: An improved apparatus and method compresses a cylindrical blank into a tampon which is dimensionally stable and which is provided with a domed insertion end. A cylindrical blank is radially compressed and then introduced into a cylindrical axial compression chamber. The blank is then subjected to an extreme axial overcompression. The closed insertion end of the compression chamber has a bore formed therethrough. The bore is generally coaxial and is adapted to accept a reciprocating ejection ram having a ram surface facing into the chamber. When the ram is seated in the first position, the ram surface and the insertion end wall of the compression chamber together form a smooth doming surface. The bore periphery is of a smaller diameter than the chamber and hence radially spaced from the side walls of the chamber, and the ram has sufficient clearance to move through the chamber and eject the tampon without interference from the walls of the chamber.

  • Patent number: 5407530
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a method of forming a fine conductive pattern. The method allows the fine conductive pattern whose thickness is relatively large to be formed easily, accurately, and surely. An insulating layer is formed on a substrate. A pattern resist is formed on the insulating layer. Then, the insulating layer is etched downward based on a profile of the pattern resist in a first etching step, and sidewalls of each of groove portions formed by the etching step of the insulating layer are etched sideways in a second etching step, so that overhang portions are defined at the lower edges of the pattern resist portions. Then, conductive film portions are formed by depositing a conductor on the pattern resist, and conductive films that are on the pattern resist are lifted off, so that a fine conductor pattern can be prepared.
