  • Publication number: 20240083591
    Abstract: Provided are an aircraft lightning probable area detection device, an aircraft lightning probable area transmission system, an aircraft lightning probable area detection method, and an aircraft lightning probable area detection program that suppress the data capacity and create an aircraft lightning probable area that enables intuitive understanding of aircraft lightning probable. An aircraft lightning probable area detection device includes: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire aircraft lightning probable information indicating a level of an expected lightning strike probability on a map; a data creation unit configured to create text data of an aircraft lightning probable area information on which the level of the expected lightning strike probability and a location are associated with each other by using the aircraft lightning probable information; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the text data to an aircraft.

  • Patent number: 7089819
    Abstract: A ball screw has a screw shaft including a screw groove formed in an outer peripheral surface thereof; a nut including a screw groove formed in an inner peripheral surface thereof and screwed together with the screw shaft through a large number of balls rollably disposed in a spiral-shaped ball rolling passage formed by the two screw grooves; and, two seals respectively disposed on the two end portions of the nut for sealing the opening of a clearance between the screw shaft and the nut, wherein two annular grooves are respectively formed in the inner peripheral surfaces of the two end portions of the nut, each of the seals is formed in a substantially annular-ring shape having an outside diameter larger than the inside diameter of the nut and the seals are mounted into the nut by fitting the outer edge portions of the seals into the annular grooves.

  • Patent number: 6033509
    Abstract: A method for laminating a porous sheet 1 and a coarse mesh reinforcing material 2 which includes an adhesive layer and is reinforced by drawing, by heat pressing with that adhesive layer in between, in which, (1) the heating temperature during heat pressing is equal to or above the melting point of the adhesive layer and equal to or below the melting point of the porous sheet, (2) a specific relationship is maintained among the difference between the heating temperature and the melting point of the adhesive layer, the difference between the heating temperature and the softening point of the porous sheet, and the heating time, and (3) the unrolling tension of the porous sheet is maintained at 200 to 550 g/mm.sup.2.
