Abstract: A compressor includes an impeller including blades extending along a shroud. Each of the blades includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a tip edge connecting the leading edge and the trailing edge and opposing the shroud. The tip edge has a central curve extending along a center of a thickness of the tip edge from the leading edge to the trailing edge. The central curve has a tangential line touching a contact in the central curve. The tangential line has a tip edge inclination angle made by the rotation axis and the tangential line viewed in a reference direction which passes the contact and which is perpendicular to the rotation axis. The tip edge inclination angle increases as the contact approaches a first maximum inclination point in the central curve. The first maximum inclination point is separated from both the leading edge and the trailing edge.

Abstract: A microcomputer and method are provided capable of restarting a rewrite program without the need for changing a mode using an external terminal when rewriting nonvolatile memory fails. A CPU of a microcomputer executes a rewrite program to clear FLASH status 0 of flash memory and rewrite all areas in it. The CPU finally writes a rewrite completion code to FLASH status 0. The CPU executes a determination program to read FLASH status 0 of the flash memory. The CPU reads ID status information when read data does not match the rewrite completion code. The CPU re-executes the rewrite program when the data matches ID status information.

Abstract: For grinding one of axially spaced journal sections of a workpiece each having a cylindrical surface and a pair of shoulder surfaces extending radially outward from the opposite end portions of the cylindrical surface, a rotating grinding wheel is advanced to grind the shoulder surfaces of one journal section and then to grind the cylindrical surface of the one journal section. At the end of the cylindrical surface grinding, the grinding wheel is retracted by a fixed distance at a slow feed rate and is further retracted at a rapid feed rate. A rest shoe provided on the side opposite to the grinding wheel with the workpiece therebetween is advanced to an advanced position where the rest shoe contacts with another journal section axially spaced from the one journal section to decrease the flection of the workpiece caused by grinding resistance and is retracted away from said another journal section when the fixed-distance retraction of the grinding wheel is completed.

Abstract: The high-frequency substrate is constructed of a base member and a conductor adhered to the base member, and the base member is composed of a polymer which is a fluoropolymer having a conductor-affinitive monomer graftpolymerized at a grafting percentage of 1% or less by weight. After reactive sites necessary for graftpolymerization are formed on a film of a fluoropolymer under an oxygen-free atmosphere by irradiating the film with an electron beam or the like, the fluoropolymer film is introduced into a solution of a conductor-affinitive monomer so as to cause graftpolymerization, and a conductor is adhered thereto to thereby produce a substrate, with a grafting percentage of the monomer to the fluoropolymer being 1% or less by weight in the graftpolymerization. The technique leads to the production of a high-frequency substrate having superior adhesion force with respect to the conductor.
