  • Publication number: 20130186589
    Abstract: An object is to provide a mold molding method which can provide a high general-purpose property and can reduce a usage quantity of molding sand. In a method for molding a mold (sand mold) by self-hardening molding sand using a caking additive, the mold is molded by disposing hollow spheres each formed to have no clearance therein among molding sand mixed with the caking additive. Preferably, the hollow sphere may be formed by working two metal plates to semispherical shapes and then connecting the semispherical-shaped metal plates to each other by welding their respective whole peripheries. A specific gravity of the hollow sphere may be 0.5 to 2.0 times a specific gravity of the molding sand.

  • Publication number: 20120204209
    Abstract: A content processing device (10) includes the following units. A content obtainment unit (13) obtains a current viewing content from a first source selected by a user, and obtains a candidate viewing content from a second source different from the first source. A content output unit (15) outputs at least the current viewing content. A detection unit (11) detects a user who is estimated as being interested in the current viewing content. A control unit (12) increases an amount of information of the candidate viewing content outputted from the content output unit (15), as a time period during which the detection unit (11) has not detected, the user estimated as being interested in the current viewing content becomes longer.

  • Patent number: 8112909
    Abstract: This invention relates to a shoe sole that solves the problems on weight saving in shoes, prevention of distortion, improvement in the fitting property and prevention of upthrust simultaneously. The reinforcing member 3 for reinforcing a part of the midsole 2 is arranged so that the top surface 36 of the second arch 3c and the bottom surface 29 of the first arch 2c are opposite to each other. At least a part of the bottom surface 29 of the first arch is not in contact with a part of the top surface 36 of the second arch in vertically spaced relationship to each other, thereby that the non-contact areas of the first arch 2c and the second arch 3c can be deformed independently from each other when impact load of landing is applied.

  • Publication number: 20070133552
    Abstract: A packet-relay unit 100 including a first interface unit (110), a second interface unit (120), and a function-setting switch (130). The second interface unit (120) includes a classifying unit (121), a priority control unit (122), and a transceiving unit (123). When the function-setting switch (130) sets a “QoS function” as “operative”, the classifying unit (121) transfers packets transferred from the first interface unit (110) to the priority control unit (122). The priority control unit (122) provides priority control over the transferred packets such that the transferred packets are preferentially treated at a wireless zone connected to the second interface unit (120), whereby the priority-controlled packets are transferred to a transceiving unit (123) from the priority control unit (122). When the function-setting switch (130) sets “the QoS function” as “inoperative”, the classifying unit (121) transfers the transferred packets directly to the transceiving unit (123).
