Abstract: A sealing ring includes: a main body portion extending from one end to another end in a circumferential direction of a ring hole; and a pair of facing portions separately provided on the one end side and the other end side of the main body portion, the pair of facing portions being in contact with each other while facing each other in a direction of a central axis of the ring hole, the pair of facing portions each subjected to energizing force acting in a direction toward the other.

Abstract: A wave washer according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes an annular body which is formed around an axis into a wave shape and at least one protruding piece which protrudes inward or outward from the body. The at least one protruding piece includes a flat surface which is perpendicular to the axis.

Abstract: An energy consumption improvement calculation apparatus calculates an amount of room-for-improvement that is an improvable amount of power consumption of at least one target device. A cycle use section of the energy consumption improvement calculation apparatus uses measured values and measurement times of power consumption and a fluctuating cycle of power consumption which fluctuates periodically.

Abstract: A factor estimating support device supports estimation of factor from a result generated in a production system. In the factor estimating support device, material/environment history data and test history data acquired from the production system, and the causality structure data indicating causality between the plurality of variables are stored in the storage unit, where when determined that the final quality characteristic is abnormal in the final quality abnormal detecting part, determination is made on whether each variable other than the final quality characteristic is abnormal in the variable abnormality detecting part, and the determination result is reflected on a visible image in which the causality structure data is visualized in the visible image creating part.

Abstract: Amorphous carbon coated tools include substrates formed from a cubic boron nitride sintered body, a diamond sintered body, a silicon nitride sintered body, or an aluminum oxide-titanium carbide sintered body, and amorphous carbon films thereon to make the cutting edges of the tools. The amorphous carbon films contain hydrogen at 5 atomic percent or below and have a maximum thickness of 0.05 ?m to 0.5 ?m on the cutting edges. The amorphous carbon films are most suitable for applications to cutting tools exemplified by cutters, knives, and slitters, and to indexable inserts used for example in turning tools including drills, endmills, and reamers, and milling cutters.

Abstract: An amorphous carbon coated tool includes a base material of WC base cemented carbide, and an amorphous carbon film formed on this base material. The cobalt content in the base material is at least 12% by mass. The maximum thickness of the amorphous carbon film is at least 0.05 ?m and not more than 0.5 ?m at the cutting edge. The amorphous carbon film is deposited with graphite as the source material by physical vapor deposition in an atmosphere substantially absent of hydrogen. The amorphous carbon film coated tool superior in wear resistance and adhesion resistance is preferably applicable to rotating tools such as drills, end mills and reamers, indexable inserts used for milling cutters and turning tools, and cutting-off tools such as cutters, knives, or slitters.

Abstract: A semiconductor substrate has a plurality of MOS transistors formed therein. Each of the transistors comprises high density diffusion regions having high impurity density and serving as source and drain, low density diffusion regions having low impurity density and extending in contact with the high density diffusion regions, respectively, a channel region formed between the low density diffusion regions, and a gate formed above the substrate and insulated from the channel region. One of the transistors has its drain connected to an input/output terminal. The low density diffusion region of the one has impurity density higher than that of the other. The channel length of the one is greater than that of the other.
