Abstract: A fiber with which a further enhanced electric field intensity is obtained when a compressive force is applied across the longitudinal axis of the fiber. The fiber is composed of a potential generating filament having at least one interior angle of less than 120° in a contour shape in a sectional view in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the fiber.

Abstract: A module according to the present disclosure includes a circuit board, an electronic component on one of two principal surfaces of the circuit board, a connection conductor on the principal surface of the circuit board, and sealing resin on the principal surface of the circuit board. The electronic component and the connection conductor are covered with the sealing resin. The connection conductor includes a plate-shaped conductor and terminal sections. The plate-shaped conductor is disposed upright on the principal surface of the circuit board. The terminal sections extend from the plate-shaped conductor and away from the principal surface of the circuit board and are arranged side by side. Tip portions of the terminal sections are exposed at a surface of the sealing resin.

Abstract: A module includes: a substrate including a first main surface; a first component mounted on the first main surface; a first land electrode provided on the first main surface; a first mold resin that covers at least the first main surface and the first component; a top surface shield film that covers a top surface of the first mold resin; a side surface shield film that covers a side surface of the first mold resin; a first conductor pillar provided in the first mold resin to electrically connect the first land electrode and the top surface shield film; and an upper first bypass conductor provided in the first mold resin to electrically connect the top surface shield film and the side surface shield film.

Abstract: A mask that exhibits a more improved antibacterial effect by more efficiently expanding and contracting a body of the mask in the periphery of the nose and mouth area of the mask without using a drug such as an antibacterial agent and/or an antiviral agent. The mask includes: a body including a yarn having a potential generating filament; and at least one dart that extends from an edge portion of the body towards a central portion of the body.

Abstract: A mask for covering at least a nostril and a mouth of a wearer. The mask includes a main body portion and an ear hooking portion attached to the main body portion. At least a part of the main body portion has a sheet-like piezoelectric portion, and the piezoelectric portion includes a yarn formed of an electric field forming filament.

Abstract: A machining system comprising a plurality of different kinds of single purpose machining units arranged at plural machining stations located along a transfer path, and a transfer apparatus for transferring plural kinds of workpieces along the transfer path so as to position each of the workpieces at plural machining stations successively for machinings by the plural single purpose machining units. The machining system is provided with a return conveyor or a transfer vehicle for transferring the workpieces along a return path from the end of the transfer path to a workpiece unloading station, and a numerically controlled general purpose machine tool arranged adjacent to the return path. The general purpose machine carries out special machinings which cannot be carried out by the single purpose machining units for machining some workpieces which require such special machinings.

Abstract: In a transfer machine of the type that workpieces are transferred to a plurality of machining stations one after another by reciprocatively moving a horizontally extending transfer bar in a vertical direction and a longitudinal direction thereof, a plurality of transfer turn tables for holding the workpieces are arranged on the transfer bar in a serial fashion and are rotatably carried thereon each for rotatable about a vertical axis. A guided member bodily rotatable with each of the turn tables is formed with a guided groove, which is maintained engaged with a fixed guiding rail during the axial feed movement of the transfer bar, but is engaged with a turn drive claw only at at least one machining station where the angular position of the turn table has to be changed.

Abstract: A transfer machine comprising a conveyor for conveying workpieces to stations and numerically controlled machine tools disposed at their respective stations. These machine tools are controlled by sequence controllers, which are connected with their respective numerical controllers. All the programs for machining operations are stored in each numerical controller. When some station is in trouble, the normal machine tool disposed at a station adjacent to the station in trouble is caused to execute the program originally assigned to the station in trouble, as well as the program assigned to the normal station itself.

Abstract: A compact machine tool for automatically interchanging two gang heads mounted at the front end of a machining unit. The machine tool includes a horizontally movable tool support, a revolving body mounted above the tool support and rotatable about a first horizontal axis, a tiltable body capable of angularly moving about a second horizontal axis perpendicular to the first horizontal axis, and a gang head magazine. The revolving body is so rotated as to interchange the two gang heads respectively placed in an upper position and a lower position. The magazine has a rotary body for moving plural gang heads within a horizontal plane so that they may be successively placed in a front position.

Abstract: A cam milling machine having a headstock and a tailstock, which are fixed on a bed and are horizontally spaced from each other for carrying at a time two camshafts to be rotatable respectively on their axes which extend horizontally in parallel relation with each other. A tool support carrier is guided on the top of the headstock and is movable by an index feed device in a horizontal direction parallel to the axis of each camshaft. Two tool supports each carrying a milling cutter are carried on the tool support carrier to be vertically movable by respective tool feed devices, each for moving the milling cutter associated thereto toward and away from one of the camshafts. The tool support carrier is moved by an index feed device in the axial direction of the camshafts so that each milling cutter is selectively brought into alignment with one of cams on each camshaft.
