Abstract: A production system, comprising: a first industrial machine configured to control a second industrial machine based on each of a plurality of variables; and circuitry configured to input, to the first industrial machine, a control command relating to an operation of at least one of the first industrial machine or the second industrial machine, wherein the first industrial machine rewrites, based on the control command, at least one variable defined as a rewritable variable among the plurality of variables.

Abstract: In a bearing according to an embodiment, a pair of magnets is arranged such that sides of the magnets opposed to each other with rolling members interposed therebetween have different magnetic polarities from each other. A magnetic fluid sealed bearing according to another embodiment includes a non-magnetic spacer disposed between a magnet of one of magnetic fluid seals and a magnet of the other of the magnetic fluid seals so as to form a magnetic circuit that penetrates outer and inner rings and goes around the rolling members.

Abstract: Provided is an active energy ray-curable resin composition for seal materials, suitable as a bead-shaped seal material high in shape dimensional precision and excellent in productivity. An active energy ray-curable resin composition for seal materials including at least a thixotropy imparting agent (B) in an amount of 0.1 to 25 parts by weight dispersed in 100 parts by weight of an active energy ray-curable resin (A), wherein the active energy ray-curable resin composition has an apparent viscosity in an uncured state (according to JIS Z8803, cone and plate rotation viscometer, 40° C.) of 50 to 5000 Pa·s in a shearing speed range from 0.1 to 10/sec and has a thixotropic coefficient, determined from the apparent viscosity in the shearing speed range, of 1.1 to 10, the thixotropy imparting agent (B) is made of silica fine particles, and the silica fine particles in the active energy ray-curable resin (A) has a particle size distribution having a plurality of peaks.

Abstract: Finding the URL of a Web page providing desired information is laborious and takes time. Further, when the URL of a Web page providing desired information is not known, the desired information cannot be obtained from the Internet Web pages via a portable telephone terminal.

Abstract: A process for racemization of an optically active 1-phenylethylamine derivative represented by formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a phenyl group substituted at least at the ortho-position, which comprises reacting the optically active 1-phenylethylamine derivative (1) with an aldehyde compound represented by formula (2):R.sup.2 --CHO (2)where R.sup.2 represents an optionally substituted alkyl group or an optionally substituted phenyl group to form an optically active imine represented by formula (3): ##STR2## reacting the imine with an alkaline metal tert-alkoxide in an aprotic solvent, and then hydrolyzing the resultant racemic imine.
