Abstract: A toothed pulley includes a cylindrical metallic core and a resin portion including teeth. The metallic core has, at one end thereof in the axial direction, an outward flange projecting outward in the radial direction. The outward flange has a radially outer peripheral surface that is a rotation prevention shape having a plurality of parts displaced inward in the radial direction from a cylindrical surface of the radially outer peripheral surface. The radially outer peripheral surface of the outward flange is covered by the resin portion.

Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing method of an axial-type magnetic. The manufacturing method includes a press molding step and an injection molding step. The axial-type magnetic encoder includes a wrap-around binding part wrapping around from a sensor-opposed surface to a back surface of an inward flange part of an annular fixing member. A separated inner peripheral part separated from a rotating body is formed at an inner diameter-side portion of the inward flange part while an outer diameter-side portion of a back surface of the inward flange part is abutted against the rotating body. The inner peripheral part of the annular plastic magnet wraps around to a back surface of the separated inner peripheral part.

Abstract: An axial-type magnetic encoder includes an annular fixing member that is fabricated by press molding, and an annular plastic magnet that is attached by injection molding to a sensor-opposed surface of the annular fixing member. When the annular fixing member includes a cylindrical part and an inward flange part extended radially inward from an end edge of the cylindrical part, the magnetic encoder has a high-form accuracy surface on the sensor-opposed surface more radially outward than a range of a diameter (d?2·r) determined by an inner diameter d of the cylindrical part and a radius r of a corner between the cylindrical part and the inward flange part. An outer diameter of the annular plastic magnet is positioned on the high-form accuracy surface.

Abstract: Provided is a magnetic encoder that improves reliability of binding of the annular fixing member and the annular plastic magnet even when the magnetic encoder is to be attached to an outer ring. An axial-type magnetic encoder 1 includes a wrap-around binding part C wrapping around from a sensor-opposed surface A to a back surface B of an inward flange part 2B of an annular fixing member 2. A separated inner peripheral part D separated from a rotating body 10 is formed at an inner diameter-side portion of the inward flange part 2B while an outer diameter-side portion of a back surface of the inward flange part 2B is abutted against the rotating body 10. The inner peripheral part of the annular plastic magnet 3 wraps around to a back surface of the separated inner peripheral part D.

Abstract: Provided is a magnetic encoder in which the outer diameter of an annular plastic magnet is increased to widen a magnetic force stable region, and a manufacturing method thereof. An axial-type magnetic encoder 1 includes: an annular fixing member 2 that has a cylindrical part 2A attached to a rotating body and an inward flange part 2B extended radially inward from an end edge of the cylindrical part 2A and is fabricated by press molding; and an annular plastic magnet 3 that is attached by injection molding to a sensor-opposed surface of the annular fixing member 2. The magnetic encoder 1 has a high-form accuracy surface (outer diameter FD of a flat surface) on the sensor-opposed surface more radially outward than a range of a diameter (d?2·r) determined by an inner diameter d of the cylindrical part 2A and a radius r of a corner between the cylindrical part 2A and the inward flange part 2B. An outer diameter MD of the annular plastic magnet 3 is positioned on the high-form accuracy surface.

Abstract: A method for producing a surgical knife of a very small size for use in ophthalmic surgery under a microscopic environment having a sharp edge without causing reflection of lights. The surgical knife comprises a handle, and a blade attached to the handle. The blade has a sharp polished cutting edge, a rough machined surface provided inside of the cutting edge having a relatively rough surface area, and an inner flat area. An anti-reflection treatment is provided on an upper and lower surfaces of the blade except for the cutting edge, thereby prohibiting reflection or emission of lights from the knife.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine is provided with a variable valve train capable of altering opening and closing timings and/or opening amounts of at least one of an intake valve and an exhaust valve of an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is characterized in that the internal combustion engine is further provided with a negative pressure mechanism that operates using intake pipe negative pressure generated in an intake passage of the internal combustion engine, a throttle valve for adjusting the flow rate of intake air flowing through the intake passage, and negative pressure generating device that controls at least one of the variable valve train and the throttle valve to generate the intake pipe negative pressure, when the intake pipe negative pressure for operation of the negative pressure mechanism is insufficient.

Abstract: A variable resistor having a resistor body including a lower layer resistor in which at least carbon fibers and a carbon black are dispersed in a synthetic resin and an upper resistance layer not containing carbon fibers and in which at least a carbon black is dispersed in a synthetic resin, the upper layer being formed on the lower layer. Abrasion of a slider and the resistor body are suppressed to provide a long operation life, that is, a sliding movement life of the variable resistor.
