  • Patent number: 10191473
    Abstract: Provided is a job plan display system capable of displaying a job plan on a product, and displaying a thumbnail as image information on the product on a display area of the job plan based on design data of the product, allowing an appropriate thumbnail to be displayed while suppressing an increase in system load. The job plan display system is configured to determine whether or not to display or update the thumbnail on a display area of the job plan based on at least one of intention of a designer who created the design data, such intention being assigned to the design data of the product, a predetermined update time, progress information on the design data created and a relationship between a changing part of the design data when the design data is changed and viewpoint coordinates when creating the thumbnail.

  • Patent number: 9991760
    Abstract: A vehicular drive system is provided with at least one electric motor and a helical gear portion which are accommodated within a casing formed by a plurality of casing members fixed to each other, wherein: said casing includes a first casing member to which a stator of each of said at least one electric motor is fixed, and a second casing member which is fixed to said first casing member so as to cooperate with said first casing member to form a space accommodating said at least one electric motor and which has a support portion supporting said helical gear portion; and a rotor of said each electric motor is rotatably supported at opposite ends thereof by said first casing member and said second casing member, respectively, while said helical gear portion is rotatably supported by said second casing member through said support portion.

  • Publication number: 20060156491
    Abstract: An object is to provide a main tower of a bridge having a rectangle-shaped cross section which can effectively reduce oscillation for wind blowing in the direction normal to the bridge axis. A cross sectional shape of a tower column is a rectangle shape with a direction normal to the bridge axis dimension smaller than a bridge-axis direction dimension. A slit passing through in the direction normal to the bridge axis is formed in a substantially central position, and a ratio of the bridge-axis direction dimension of the slit with respect to the bridge-axis direction dimension of the cross section is between 0.2 and 0.3.

  • Patent number: 6383628
    Abstract: There is disclosed an image heating device, provided with a movable member including an electroconductive layer and adapted to move with a recording member, a magnetizing coil for generating a magnetic flux, provided continuously over the entire width of the movable member in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the movable member, and a core member for guiding the magnetic flux. The magnetic flux generated by the magnetizing coil induces an eddy current in the movable member, thereby heating an image supported on the recording member by the heat generated in the movable member by the eddy current. At least a part of the magnetizing coil is provided along the movable member not along the core member.
