Abstract: A spring constant correction device and method measure a position and attitude of a distal end of an articulated robot when the articulated robot is operated in a state where elastic deformation is compensated, compare measurement values of the position and attitude of the distal end and target values of the position and attitude, and correct a spring constant based on a result of the comparison. In case of the correction, the spring constant is corrected at a predetermined position based on at least three of: an angle of an end point attitude based on the measured attitude; a torque of the distal end in the end point attitude; an angle of the distal end in a target attitude; and a torque of the distal end in the target attitude. A program of such a method is recorded in a recording medium.

Abstract: It is provided a method for producing a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or sheet which is superior in a heat-resistance. A mixture is prepared by uniformly mixing a specific polymer having hydrolyzable silyl end groups and urethane linkages and/or urea linkages in the main chains or side chains with tackifying resins. A fluorine-containing compound selected from the group consisting of boron trifluoride, complex of boron trifluoride, fluorinating agent and alkali metal salt of fluorine-containing inorganic acid is uniformly mixed into the mixture to obtain a precursor of a pressure-sensitive adhesive agent. The adhesive precursor is applied on the surface of a tape substrate or sheet substrate. It is obtained a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having three-dimensional reticulation structures by curing the specific polymer having hydrolyzable silyl end groups. Thereby, it is obtained the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or sheet.

Abstract: If a trigger signal transmitted from another trigger unit in a set range is received after a transmission command switch has been turned on, an annunciation portion is advised of a likelihood of radio interference. In this case, no trigger signal is supplied. If identifier information that has been received corresponds to the identifier information stored in a memory after the transmission of a trigger signal, a count value remains untouched (YES in S55). It is apparent that identifier information was transmitted before from one of wheel-side units that has supplied a trigger signal, and that the trigger signal has not been received by a desired one of the wheel-side units. An operator can supply a trigger signal again through a change in relative position or the like.
