Abstract: A preform having edges overlapped and jointed, two outer members for forming outer surfaces of a hydroformed product, and reinforcement members for forming reinforcement ribs that divide a hollow cross section of the hydroformed product, including a joint formed by, when more than three sheet materials for forming the outer members and the reinforcement members are overlapped together, welding a first sheet material on a surface of the overlapped sheet materials to a second sheet material positioned inside the first sheet material, and a space disposed and aligned with a joint plane between the second sheet material and a third sheet material located inside the second sheet material during the welding process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of displaying an object, in which the object is formed by displaying a two-dimensional object image on a plurality of displaying surfaces which are respectively disposed at different positions having different depths from each other. The luminance of the two-dimensional image displayed on each displaying surface is changed independently such that when the object image is moved farther in depth, the luminance of the object image displayed on a surface nearer to the observer is reduced and the luminance of the object image displayed on a surface farther from the observer is increased.

Abstract: An assembled camshaft (10) for engine includes: a cam lobe piece (12); and a hollow shaft member (11) having at least two shaft fixing surfaces (11A) formed by plasticity process on a portion of the hollow shaft member (11) corresponding to a position between cylinders of the engine.

Abstract: A production method of Chinese fried meat dumplings includes loading meat dumplings on a conveyer, steaming the meat dumplings on the conveyer, and frying the meat dumplings by increasing a temperature of the conveyer from 50° C. to 200-280° C. in 1-8 minutes as the conveyer moves the meat dumplings toward downstream.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing sautéed onion or sofrit. The method includes the steps of sautéing onion or sofrit ingredients in a rotary sautéing machine, and heating the machine with an auxiliary heater concurrently with the sautéing step, whereby the temperature at a center of the onion or sofrit ingredients in a rotary pot of the rotary sautéing machine is increased to 85-950° C. within 10 minutes; and after the temperature at the center of the onion or sofrit ingredients reaches 95° C., deglazing is continuously carried out by spraying water, as required, while maintaining the surface temperature of the onion or sofrit ingredients at 95-120° C. for 15 to 120 minutes, thereby effecting sautéing processing. The method also includes the step of oscillating the rotary sautéing machine concurrently with the sautéing step.

Abstract: A mobile robot placed on an automatic production line is provided. The mobile robot collects information on operating conditions of other mobile robots placed around it and flow of workpieces on the production line and determines action to be taken next based on the formation. A production system using such a mobile robot and a system inputting an operation program corresponding to a workstation into a mobile robot automatically are also provided. This enables measures to be taken quickly against a change in production, thereby providing a system which achieves high efficiency production.

Abstract: In this application is disclosed a method of producing sautéed onion or sofrit with the use of, e.g., a rotary sautéing machine, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the surface in the rotating direction of a blade provided in the pot is such that, in a cross section vertical to the rotary shaft of the pot, assuming that a straight line running from an attachment point of the blade onto the cylindrical surface toward the center of the rotary shaft is an x coordinate axis, the attachment point is x=0 (the origin), and the position of the foot on the x axis of a perpendicular line extending downwards from an end of the blade is x=1, and when the height y of the cross-sectional line of the blade is expressed by a function of x, f(x), the x coordinate at which a value of the derived function of y=f(x) becomes 0 is not less than 0.

Abstract: An electronic (e-) commerce support system has a Web server to which each retailer makes an access via a terminal of each retailer over a network, thus performing access management for each retailer, a database storing data for each of functions required for e-commerce, and an application server to establish each of the functions by using the stored data, necessary functions among the functions required for e-commerce being offered to each retailer and available through the terminal of each retailer over the network.
