Abstract: The manufacturing process of work top with sink including a work top 120 and a sink 122 stuck together comprises: a work top forming step 10; and a sink forming step 30 in which a sink forming uneven mold is attached to a sink opening 121a formed in the work top 120 and resin is injected into the uneven mold whereby the sink is formed and simultaneously stuck to the sink opening (FIG. 1).

Abstract: Not only when tableware and vessels have a point contact, but also when they have a surface contact and line contact, abrasions caused thereby are made visually less noticeable and performance of cleaning soil deposited on the surface is improved. In a surface protection structure for protecting the surface of a water-depositable member, such as the sink of a system kitchen, an embossed pattern is formed by a plurality of hemispherical projections protrusively provided on a smooth bottom face, and the embossed pattern is subjected to surface finishing with good removing property of stains. At this time, an interval between those projections which are adjoining in at least one direction and/or an interval between those projections which are adjoining in another direction orthogonal to the one direction may be set to 2.0 to 10.0 mm.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus, such as a copier or a printer, in which recyclable components to be discarded are recycled in newly producing an image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a first image forming section for forming an image of first type, a control board and a first drive circuit. The first drive circuit drives the first image forming section. The first drive circuit is connected to the control board. The control board has a connection section to be connected to a second board on which a second drive circuit for driving a second image forming section is mounted. The second image forming section forms an image of second type.

Abstract: In an existing or new client/server system environment in which a plurality of clients are connected on a network, a function of specifying (selecting) a desired article by a requester, a function of requesting an approver to approve purchase of the specified article, and a function of determining approval or rejection for purchase of the approval-requested article by the approver are realized. A user logs in to this system as a requester or approver from a predetermined Web page displayed on the client in accordance with the user (employee) ID. A user who has logged in as an approver can also use the article specifying function and approval request function.

Abstract: The up and down movement of the tool electrode of an electrical discharge machine is controlled by a circuit arrangement including an electrical discharge condition judgment circuit monitoring the electrical discharge between a tool electrode and a workpiece from the waveform of the discharge and outputting a pulse signal in the event the discharge is abnormal, a motion command circuit which receives and counts the judgment circuit output signal and generates a command signal when the count reaches a set value, and an electrode control circuit responsive to the command signal and causing the tool electrode to move up and down.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for controlling an electric discharge machine consisting of applying a pulse voltage across a working gap when the predetermined time of interruption of the electric discharge has lapsed and when the interpolar voltage has exceeded a reference voltage, increasing the reference voltage and lengthening the time of interruption of the electric discharge when the rate of abnormal discharge occurrence becomes greater than an allowable rate and decreasing the reference voltage and reducing the time of interruption of the electric discharge when the rate of abnormal electric discharge occurrence is less than an allowable rate.
