Abstract: A system for shot peening that includes an enclosure in which are provided a workpiece W to be shot peened and a nozzle for projecting the shot particles. A memory stores data for maximizing the anticipated shot-peening intensity at the workpiece based on the predetermined conditions of the shot peening. Then a calculating circuitry determines the conditions of the shot peening to be carried out in the system to maximize an anticipated shot-peening intensity at the workpiece based on the stored data from the memory and the selected type of the shot-peening process to be applied to the workpiece before the shot particles have been actually projected. The nozzle is then actuated under the determined conditions such that it projects the shot particles and directs them onto the workpiece. The shot-peening intensity of the actually projected shot particles at the workpiece is measured by a measuring device.

Abstract: In a packet transmission system, each terminal unit transmits data to a resource monitoring device of a network for sending the data to another terminal unit via the network. The resource monitoring device includes a resource map database and a resource management section. The resource map database stores a resource map in which central points of resources that can be used by the terminal units are described. The resource management section transmits the resource map to the terminal units. Each terminal unit includes a resource detection section and a resource acquisition section. The resource detection section detects resource usage statuses of terminal units that are using resources adjacent to a resource used by the terminal unit, by use of the resource map supplied from the resource monitoring device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a subcutaneous needle in which a needle body and an adhesive tape are reliably secured together with a resin material enabling the operation to be correctly executed, and a method of producing the same. The subcutaneous needle is constituted by an adhesive tape, a separate paper, a needle body and a resin material. The adhesive tape has a hole formed in the central portion and has an adhesive surface on one side thereof. The separate paper has a hole in the central portion and is stuck on the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape. The needle body is bent in an L-shape and its top end side protrudes penetrating through the holes of the adhesive tape and of the separate paper. The base end side of the needle body is arranged nearly in parallel with a nonadhesive surface of the adhesive tape. The resin material is injection-molded onto the nonadhesive surface of the adhesive tape so as to cover and secure the base end side of the needle body.

Abstract: An electrode roll for an electric resistance seam welding machine comprises a stator substantially made of copper or a copper alloy, a rotor mounted on the periphery of the stator, and substantially or in part made of copper or a copper alloy and rotatably a gap portion formed by the stator and the rotor. A conductive liquid metal, which is a fusible alloy composed mainly of gallium, is inserted in the gap portion through a filling hole and is sealed in the gap portion. At least the portion of the filling hole that may come in contact with the conductive liquid metal is fabricated of a metal or metal alloy which is hard to be corroded by the fusible alloy. The remaining surfaces of both rotor and stator facing the gap portion are covered with a layer or layers of a metal or metal alloy that is hard to be corroded by the fusible alloy. In at least one embodiment, such layer or layers are further covered with another thin layer of metal which has an excellent wettability by the fusible alloy.

Abstract: A remotely controllable relay comprises a rocker pivoted at an intermediate point for rocking at one end in normal or reverse direction in response to forward or backward motion of a movable member of an electromagnet means, and a movable contactor linked to the rocker for contacting with or separating from a fixed contactor in response to the rocking of the rocker. A larger momentum at the other end remote from the pivoted point of the rocker achieved with a smaller momentum of the movable member is utilized to sufficiently separate the movable contactor from the fixed contactor upon contact opening, the smaller momentum movable member allowing the electromagnet means to be minimized in size for a miniaturization of the relay and consumed power saving.

Abstract: In the process of fabrication of semiconductor devices, a lead frame hoop supplied from a supply reel is set forward to successively enter into a series of fabricating steps. After having been subjected to pellet bonding, wire bonding and resin-molding, it is wound up about a take-up reel. Baking step is performed with the lead frame hoop wound on the take-up reel. The lead frame hoop unwound from the take-up reel is cut into separate individual semiconductor device units from one another and the measurement of characteristics and the classification of the thus prepared units are carried out with the positions of the units maintained as they were at the cutting step. Accordingly, the process has a smaller number of steps and therefore the production cost is reduced, and the speed of working is improved.
