Abstract: An attachment includes a planetary reducer, a reaction force receiving member, and a universal joint. The planetary reducer has a first output shaft and a second output shaft connectable to a socket. The reaction force receiving member is connected to the first output shaft and has an arm part for contact with an external contact object. The universal joint has an input-side end part connectable to a final output shaft of a fastening tool and an output-side end part connected to the planetary reducer. The reaction force receiving member is configured to rotate integrally with the first output shaft in a direction opposite to the second output shaft by a reaction force caused by rotation of the socket. The universal joint is configured to transmit the torque inputted from the final output shaft via the input-side end part, to the planetary reducer via the output-side end part.

Abstract: In a work machine which includes a working head including a lifting and lowering unit including a working device and a first lifting and lowering device which lifts and lowers the working device, and a second lifting and lowering device which lifts and lowers the lifting and lowering unit, a positional deviation (?x, ?y) of the working device in a direction which is perpendicular to a lifting and lowering direction is eliminated. Since the positional deviation is caused by both an inclination of a lifting and lowering axis line L1 of the working device by the first lifting and lowering device and an inclination of a lifting and lowering axis line L2 of the lifting and lowering unit by the second lifting and lowering device, based on positional deviation data a target moving position is corrected.

Abstract: A wiring board includes a board including a core, a conductive layer on the core, and a laminated structure over the core and conductive layer, and a stacked structure formed in the board and including a through-hole conductor through the core and a via conductor in the laminated structure. The through-hole conductor has though-hole portion through the core and land portion on the core, the laminated structure includes an insulation layer in which the via conductor is formed, the via conductor is stacked on the land portion such that the stacked structure including the through-hole and via conductors is formed through the core and the insulation layer, and the stacked structure is formed such that the through-hole portion has end connected to the land portion and the end has width set greater than width of bottom of the via conductor and smaller than width of top of the via conductor.

Abstract: A surface treatment apparatus includes a treatment vessel which contains a treatment solution, a transfer device which transfers a substrate through an interior portion of the treatment vessel in an in-plane direction of the substrate, and a jet device which is positioned in the interior portion of the treatment vessel and jets the treatment solution onto a surface of the substrate such that the surface of the substrate is treated with the treatment solution in the interior portion of the treatment vessel. The jet device has a nozzle hole which jets the treatment solution in a jet direction set parallel or diagonal with respect to the substrate surface.

Abstract: A water-soluble organic material condensation apparatus equipped with a distillation column for distilling an aqueous solution of a water-soluble organic material, wherein a vapor generated at the top of the distillation column or a condensed liquid from the vapor is introduced to a device other than the distillation column which has the function to separate water from the water-soluble organic material to thereby condense the water-soluble organic material through separating water and then the condensed water-soluble organic material is recycled to the distillation column. The device other than the distillation column is desirably a separating film such as a zeolite film. The apparatus is improved in the operation of the upper portion of the condensation section of the distillation column and allows energy savings during distillation.

Abstract: An excavating drive (22) movable backward/forward is accommodated in a turnable body (9) which in turn is turnable about an axis perpendicular to an axis of and in a skin plate (7). A cutter device (38) ahead of a rotor (22) in the excavating drive (22) is composed of a center cutter (40) supported by the excavating drive (22) and a plurality of face plate shaped expansion cutters (44) fitted to an outer periphery of the center cutter (40) for pivotal movement backward/forward. Tunneling is effected by the expanded cutter device with the expansion cutters (44) being pivoted forward. Upon replacement of bits (35; 35?), the expansion cutters (44) are pivoted backward for contraction of an assembly of them and the cutter device (38) is accommodated in a turning trajectory (R) of the turnable body (9) so that the turnable body (9) is turned backward for replacement of the damaged bits (35; 35?) backward.
