Abstract: A numerical controller includes a region information reception unit configured to receive input of data defining a control region in which a control condition is set in a movement region of an axis of a machine tool, a region setting unit configured to set the control region based on the data received by the region information reception unit, a control condition setting unit configured to set the control condition in the control region, and a command generation unit configured to generate a control command in the control region based on the control condition.

Abstract: A flame-retardant electric wire coating material composition that can improve heat resistance without using electron beam cross-linking, has no risk of reducing the mechanical characteristics and chemical resistance due to no metal hydroxides being added thereto as flame retardants, and can suppress the formation of die lip build-up and the like during manufacturing to achieve favorable productivity, and an insulated electric wire and a wire harness. The electric wire coating material composition may include: a silane-grafted polyolefin (A); an unmodified polyolefin (B); a modified polyolefin (C); a bromine-based flame retardant and antimony trioxide (D); a cross-linking catalyst batch (E); zinc oxide and an imidazole-based compound modified with a mercapto group, or zinc sulfide (F); an antioxidant, a metal deactivator, and a lubricant (G); silicone oil (H); and no metal hydroxides.

Abstract: A process for producing N-(3',4'-dimethoxycinnamoyl)-anthranilic acid, which comprises (i) allowing 3',4'-dimethoxycinnamic acid to react with anthranilic acid in an aprotic polar solvent in the presence of a particular inorganic salt and an iminium salt--which could be prepared quantitatively from dimethylformamide and an inexpensive acid halide--or (ii) allowing 3',4'-dimethoxycinnamic acid to react with an iminium salt and then with an anthranilic acid-inorganic salt complex, a novel complex not described in the literature. According to the process of this invention, the desired compound can be produced in a high yield with no substantial formation of hardly separable by-products.
