  • Patent number: 10672536
    Abstract: A cable, which can serve as a mounting device for sensors, includes strands to be connected to the sensors. The strands are formed as a braided wire bundle. An insulating layer is provided on a surface of each of the strands in order to prevent mutual electric conduction of the strands. A particular braided bundle can be specified from among many braided bundles by using, as two indicators, a combination of colors of the insulating layers and a twist direction of the braided bundle.

  • Patent number: 8731874
    Abstract: Included are a table creating unit that creates, for a three-dimensional CAD model, tabular data that describes change logic for each changed state, the change logic associating a changed state with a condition to be satisfied to shift to the changed state, the changed state being a form after transformation of the three-dimensional CAD model; a data converting unit that converts each change logic set in the created tabular data into a description in a certain program language, and creates a model built-in program; an model built-in program IO unit that registers the converted model built-in program to the three-dimensional CAD model; and a three-dimensional CAD software-program unit that transforms the three-dimensional CAD model when receiving an operation for transforming the three-dimensional CAD model, based on the operation and a change logic described in a model built-in program registered to the three-dimensional CAD model.

  • Patent number: 8695394
    Abstract: In order to achieve a bending operation which provides a U-shaped metal piece of increased depth and to provide a bending operation safe to an operator involved in the bending operation, the invention is a lower die for press bending which includes: a block body which includes a groove on an upper surface thereof, the groove extending in a right and left direction, and the block body being fixed to a bending machine; and a rotating block which is received by the groove of the block body and is capable of oscillating about an axis of the groove, wherein a process groove is formed on an upper surface of the rotating block to receive a blade edge of an upper die. The block body includes a front shoulder and a rear shoulder at the front and rear sides of the groove. A level difference is defined between these shoulders such that the front shoulder is smaller in height than the rear shoulder.

  • Patent number: 7975521
    Abstract: A bending tool that may be used for bending elongated works and in which the works are not likely to be damaged is provided. An angle formed by a blade parting line L1 or L2 and an outside edge (e.g., 55 degrees) of each die (having an angle of a blade edge of, e.g., 90 degrees) is made larger than an angle formed by the blade parting line L1 or L2 and an inside edge (e.g., 35 degrees). The blade parting line L1 or L2 of one of the dies is located at a predetermined position further toward the blade parting line L2 or L1 of the other of the dies with respect to the center of the space between the blade parting line L2 or L1 and the inner end edge of the bending block.

  • Patent number: 7496872
    Abstract: An interconnect capacitance estimation system includes a first storage device, a library creating device and an interconnect capacitance estimating device. The first storage device stores layout data. The library creating device creates a library used for estimating a capacitance of a net in a semiconductor circuit based on the layout data. The interconnect capacitance estimating device estimates a capacitance of a target net in a target semiconductor circuit based on design data and the library. The library creating device calculates a logic cone size of a logic cone which is a combined circuit composing a signal path through which a signal from an input stage passes to an output stage, creates the library which relates a capacitance, the logic cone size and a fan-out. The interconnect capacitance estimating device calculates a logic cone size of a logic cone of the target net based on the design data, and estimates a capacitance of the target net based on the logic cone size of the target net and the table.

  • Patent number: 6952960
    Abstract: A spacer has an annular concave portion, at one end face, to accept a rectifier that rectifies fluid flowing through a flow channel in a flowmeter, a protruding annular convex portion, at the other end face, of a size to fit in the annular concave portion, and fixing means, on an outer surface, for fixing the spacer to a tube of the flow channel through engagement. A rectifier unit is temporarily assembled by integrating the spacer and the rectifier that are provided alternately in series in an axial direction into a tubular unit. It is thus possible to achieve efficient assembly, by which plural rectifiers are inserted and attached inside the tube through a single insertion operation. Moreover, it is possible to address a need for a reduction of rectifiers in size or a change to the specifications regarding the number of rectifiers to be provided.
